Test & Measurement
National Instruments announced two new products to help engineers monitor machines, heavy equipment and ageing infrastructure. Engineers can integrate the wireless sensor network (WSN) strain node and C Series module with NI CompactRIO for predictive maintenance to predict faults, analyse fatigue, lower operating costs and decrease downtime.
The WSN-3214 Strain Node features four analog input channels that support quarter-, half- and full-bridge completion, as well as two digital I/O channels for event detection and programmatic control. It offers the ability to perform onboard data processing, save data locally, or predict fault conditions with the NI LabVIEW WSN Module.
The 9232 C Series module is a data acquisition card optimised for industrial accelerometers, tachometers and proximity probes in condition monitoring applications. It has a ±30 V input range, 4 mA IEPE current excitation and 41 kHz bandwidth, and features screw terminals and open/short sensor detection for use in permanent industrial monitoring applications.
