Wireless Sensors.
Amongst several new products introduced from the
MicroStrain range are their wireless sensors. The
V-Link® is at the top of the range, offering up to 8
input channels in each wireless node to operate as
part of a high-speed wireless sensor network.
These devices, as the name implies, provide a wireless link
between the connected sensors and a base station, which can
be up to 70meters away. Featuring 2 kHz sweep rates,
combined with 2 Mbytes flash memory, these little nodes have
on board sensor excitation, bridge completion, and programmable
gains and offsets. Differential and single ended inputs provide
an extremely versatile sensor interface. The V-Link® is therefore
compatible with a wide range of analogue sensors, including
strain gauges, displacement sensors, load cells, torque transducers,
pressure sensors, accelerometers, temperature sensors,
inclinometers and others. The bi-directional RF communications
link, in the 2.4GHz range, can trigger a sample to be logged, or
request real time data to be transmitted to the host PC for data
acquisition and analysis. Typical applications include condition
monitoring of machines, structures or vehicles, and for sports
performance monitoring or robotics and machine automation.
