Abstract
This Project describes the design and development of hardware and software modules for wireless data logger system using
ZigBee.. FPGA firmware is developed in VHDL using Xilinx ISE 14.7 and the design is simulated using ModelSim Simulator and
the code is synthesized on Altera Cyclone IV FPGA.End user can change remotely the data logger settings such as date and time.
The Advent of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has made compact realization of embedded system possible. As FPGAs
are high density logic devices. It is possible to realize certain software functions in hardware in an efficient way.
Keywords: Data logger; FPGA; ZigBee; Real time clock; ADC.

1. INTRODUCTION
The main aim of the project is to design and implementation
of an wireless data logger on FPGA, which will accept
physical parameters like temperature, humidity etc from the
sensor and is converted into digital data by ADC and then
stored in the memory that is in different latches that data can
be used according to the different application. With emerging
technology, researchers desire to obtain their sensor data
faster and to make accepted data available over longer
interval of time.The primary transformative trend of data
loggers has been in size reduction. This is because of their
primary role of remote data redemption. They need to be
haulable to facilitate easy portage.
Traditional general purpose processors [GPP] and wired
communication devices requires high cost and long
development cycle. As the GPP have the fixed architecture,
limitation to data path width, so it may waste the hardware
resources. FPGA gives the flexibility of reprogramming and
have high level parallelism. Wired communication possess
several limitations like complex cable connections,
electromagnetic interference, wire cost and maintenance etc.
There are several wireless communication technologies, such
as Bluetooth, WSN, WI-FI, ZigBee, IrDA, GSM etc. Taking
in to account the application range of various techniques, the
cost of data transmission, security and reliability, Bluetooth
and WSN are the most appropriate methods in the short range
wireless data communication and data transmission. ZigBee
is a low cost, low power built from small digital radios
targeted at wide development of long battery life devices in
wireless control and monitoring applications.
The mobile communication devices are mostly focused on
voice and short messaging. They have become one of the
inseparable parts of the people life for contacting each other
via text and voice and it also provides services like check
mail, play game, send and receive file, etc. The combination
of these two services is called as smart phone. The Android
OS is the fastest growing OS on the mobile market.
Furthermore, it is open source; thus allowing more ease and
freedom when developing applications. One of the primary
benefits of using data loggers is the ability to automatically
collect data on a 24-hour basis, and time stamp of logging
can be set (five minutes to one hour basis). Upon activation,
data logger is left unattended to measure and record
information for the duration of the monitoring period.
2. DESIGN METHODOLOGY
Below Figure 2.1 shows the basic block diagram of Wireless
data logger system, which divides the figure into two main
parts one is called as Transmitter block system and the other
is Receiver block system. The common wireless data logger
system is Full Duplex communication.

2.1 Transmitter Block System
In above figure 2.1 transmitter block consist of FPGA, PIC
Microcontroller, ZigBee and Real time clock. In this block,
information is transferred in both directions at a time so it is a
“Full Duplex Communication”. Now we will see how the
data is transferred in each block. FPGA takes Data from the
sensor as well as from the microcontroller as the
communication is a full duplex. First FPGA takes a data from
the sensor as input which stores data continuously in the
different channel memory block, as FPGA contains total 8
channel memory block these blocks are divided with respect
to time slots allocated for the channel. Second FPGA takes
3bit channel address from the microcontroller, then the
required data which is stored in the particular channel
memory block the data is sent back to the micro controller
which as an 8bit data. The switching action is controlled by
the PIC microcontroller, the controls of these switching
actions are programmed into memory and actions are
executed by the FPGA. So this block is called as “Stored
program control switching system”.
Microcontroller takes channel address from the ZigBee and
then decodes that channel address into three bit. The decoded
channel address is sent to an FPGA by the Microcontroller.
Then whatever the data which is of 8 bit stored in that
channel address is sent back to the Microcontroller by the
FPGA, as FPGA stores data in different memory block that is
in different eight Latches. Now Microcontroller encodes this
8 bit data and transfers this data over the ZigBee. By
implementing ZigBee protocol the communication between
the hardware and the software unit of the system is made
wireless easily so that the ZigBee takes DATA IN as channel
address and DATA OUT as data for the selected channel.
2.2 Receiver Block System
The Receiver Block System also consists of three main
blocks ZigBee, PIC Microcontroller, and propeller LED as
show in the above figure 2.1.Now we will see how the data
transfer take place in this block as here the communication is
half duplex. The microcontroller sends channel address to the
ZigBee and by the wireless transmission it takes data from
the transmitter as explained in the transmitter block system,
as here the communication is a half duplex. And that data
from the ZigBee is decoded and displayed on the propeller
LED.
The operation of ZigBee is controlled by the microcontroller
by switching program. here First ZigBee Sends DATA OUT
as this data contains channel address and takes DATA IN as
this data contains data for the selected channel.

Above fig 3.1 describes simulation results of Data logger.
First give RESET as HIGH, START as HIGH and give CLK,
now output is 00000000.Then make RESET as LOW and
now we are assuming here continuous varying temperature
shows as analog signal, for each 1 second the data will be
stored in each channel, then after every 8 second the data will
be updated in each channel. Suppose now if we are selected
particular channel say channel address 110,whatever the data
in sixth channel presently that will be the Data_out.

4. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
This Project mainly deals with the Data logger system which
plays an important role in diverse application such as
chemical plants, process control industries, and satellites. An
data logger system interacts continuously with its
environment and carries out various tasks with certain timing
constraints. The Data logger which has been implemented in
hardware for redemption process and this reduces the
software overhead and hence the execution cycle time that
makes the system response faster in real-time. This leads to a
better performance and accuracy.
All the functional modules of Data Logger all functional
blocks are successfully coded in VHDL, simulated and
verified as per the functional requirement and timing
specification and hardware implementation is done on the
FPGA.
The FPGA based wireless data logger presented in this
project records temperature and humidity data over a period
of time. It displays stored data on propeller LED when we
selected particular channel address. This data can be used for
future analysis of the environmental conditions at the place
where data logger is installed.
