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.

“Some of the world’s most challenging applications require a solution that combines both wired and wireless measurement and control systems,” said Jamie Smith, Director of Embedded Systems Product Marketing for NI. “With the new WSN C Series gateway, NI is one of the only companies that can offer a complete, reconfigurable platform for these hybrid systems.”

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
