Wireless I/O for NI CompactRIO

30 May 2012 Test & Measurement

National Instruments released a new wireless gateway and two new measurement nodes that extend the capabilities of the NI wireless sensor network (WSN) platform. 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.

The 9795 C-series gateway aggregates measurement data from distributed WSN nodes, making data available within deployed LabVIEW real-time applications running on CompactRIO. It adds to existing programmable and non-programmable WSN gateways to offer choices for cost and flexibility.

The WSN-3230 (RS232) and WSN-3231 (RS485) serial nodes feature one serial port and two digital I/O channels for discrete inputs, event detection and programmatic control. They allow users to embed query and parse algorithms directly on the WSN node with the LabVIEW WSN Module to create an autonomous programmable interface to a variety of serial-based instruments, sensors and control boards.
