Abstract: In order to have on time and effective monitoring and management as well as a remote fault diagnosis function of the mine hoist system,in combination with the sensor technology,radio-frequency technology,intelligent treatment technology,industrial ethernet,wireless sensing network and internet,the application area of t he internet of things was expanded to the mine hoist system and to establish the perception system of the hoist.Based on the circumstances,a full analysis was conduct ed on the perception system of the mine hoist from the function design,hardware allocation,software design,system safety and others.Finally,the design on the perceptio n system of the mine hoist was applied to the mine hoist system of Donghuantuo Mine,Kailuan Group.The site monitoring and control,remote monitoring and control,stat us perception,fault diagnoses and other test were conducted.The results showed that the fault diagnoses capacity and the reliability of the hoist system had been highly improved.
