Wireless gateway and measurement nodes by NI

National Instruments (NI) has announced 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 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.

9795 C series gateway:

1. Aggregates measurement data from distributed WSN nodes, making data available within deployed LabVIEW real time applications running on CompactRIO.
2. Adds to existing programmable and non-programmable WSN gateways to offer choices for cost and flexibility.

WSN-3230 (1-port RS232) and NI WSN-3231 (1-port RS485) serial nodes:


1. Features one serial port and two digital I/O channels for discrete inputs, event detection and programmatic control.

2. 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.
