National Instruments has announced a new wireless gateway and two new measurement nodes that extend the capabilities of the NI wireless sensor network (WSN) platform and illustrate the company’s commitment to wireless measurement technology. With NI LabVIEW system design software, engineers can easily integrate wired and wireless measurement and control systems and deploy autonomous programs to WSN nodes that perform local control, data analysis and event-based alarming or notification.
News Highlights:
- Plug directly into any CompactRIO chassis for wireless connectivity to distributed WSN measurement nodes with new WSN C Series gateway
- Use new WSN serial nodes for wireless, programmable interface to thousands of sensors and instruments
- Create complete wired and wireless measurement control systems with LabVIEW that are ideal for applications including environment monitoring, industrial measurements and control, and energy monitoring
Product Features
NI 9795 C Series Gateway:
- Aggregates measurement data from distributed WSN nodes, making data available within deployed LabVIEW Real-Time applications running on CompactRIO
- Adds to existing programmable and nonprogrammable WSN gateways to offer choices for cost and flexibility
NI WSN-3230 (1-port RS232) and NI WSN-3231 (1-port RS485) Serial Nodes:
- Features one serial port and two digital I/O channels for discrete inputs, event detection and programmatic control
- Embeds query and parse algorithms directly on WSN node with LabVIEW WSN Module to create autonomous programmable interface to a variety of serial-based instruments, sensors and control boards
