Synchronous wireless sensing system
March 2011
Data Acquisition & Telemetry
MicroStrain launches a new wireless sensing system offering unprecedented network sampling capacity and precision timing synchronisation.
MicroStrain has introduced its extended range synchronous wireless sensing system, combining precision wireless time synchronisation and enhanced system scalability to accommodate hundreds of wireless sensor nodes with extended range communication.
The new wireless sensing system currently includes:
* WSDA-Base, a central base station that coordinates and synchronises data collection with timing accuracy of up to 3 microseconds.
* Node Commander 2.0 software with a wide range of user adjustable sample rates as well as the ability to facilitate high channel count data acquisition.
* A range of wireless sensor nodes that offer stable on-board timing and user configurable options for extended range communication to 1 kilometre.
“We have developed truly ground breaking technology that enables precisely synchronised, scalable wireless sensing systems. We’ve responded to customer requests to support many more nodes on a single radio frequency channel and we greatly increased our system’s radio frequency communication range while providing fully programmable sampling and power saving options,” says MicroStrain CEO, Steve Arms.
Addressing the needs of a broad range of industries, these new systems enable information to be acquired from multiple sensors – either simultaneously, on varying schedules, or in bursts (to 100 kHz). All of this information is aggregated using time as a unifying variable. Applications include advanced condition based maintenance and structural health monitoring of heavy equipment, industrial machines, aircraft, civil structures, vehicles and wind turbines.
