Remote current measurement with FPGA digital processing

The work presents an implementation of a modular measurement and control system that controls variants of mains supply of 230V electrical equipment. The system allows to supervise power consumption in the office electronic equipment. The system detects the instant of the reduced power consumption by a device and makes possible its switch-off in order to reduce energy cost. The current is measured with integrated current/voltage converters. The customized hardware has been built for the distributed acquisition system that includes: the data sending module with wireless transmission using ZigBee standard between the measurement point and monitoring point and switching devices. The measurement module was implemented using Altera FPGA.
