Wireless monitoring equipment on show at Railtex 2015
At Railtex 2015, ByteSnap Design will exhibit its low-power wireless monitoring equipment, which can be installed in remote locations to transmit information in real time over greater distances.
The demonstration will consist of two units: a remote monitoring station and a rugged waterproof data logger. The solar-powered station transmits weather data via a 10km line of sight radio link.
The company will showcase a remote monitoring station featuring a weather station, PIR and several terminals for additional customisation options, such as inclinometers, vibration sensors and energy meters.
The submersible rugged data logger is powered by a 12V supply, runs on Windows CE and communicates with a display showing information in real time.
“The practical applications for and benefits to rail infrastructure maintenance are substantial,” says Dunstan Power, Director, ByteSnap Design. “Collecting and transmitting data in real time is critical for monitoring signalling track circuits, cable theft, earthworks and bridge bash incidents”.
At the event, which takes place from 12th to 14th May, ByteSnap will be situated at stand V90.
