In order to simulate the process of pipeline retracting and releasing of refueling aircraft in the wind tunnel, evaluate the safety of the pipeline and cone sleeve. According to the test requirements, developed the simulation system of the refueling pipeline. Presents the design and implementation of the system, introduces the hardware composition and software design of the retracting and releasing control system based on ZigBee. The design and implementation of Zigbee wireless network and ModbusRTU communication protocol are discussed in detail. The results show that the system has simple structure, stable and reliable performance, meets the test requirements. The system can realize simulation of pipeline retracting and releasing in wind tunnel.
