In order to solve the potential safety risk of traditional industrial remote control, a deep research on embedded and wireless communication theory has been done and a wireless remote control system with the C8051F120 single chip as the main control chip has been invited. Data can be sent and received steadily between transmitting terminal and receiving terminal in this system even in unfavorable environment, which largely improves the safety and reliability for long-distance operation. This system, with the feature of small size, easy installment, low power consumption and excellent wireless transmission, can be applied to industrial machinery such as pump car and wall-climbing robot.
