Description
The product with part numbers 780997-02, 780997-12, 780997-01, 780997-11 falls under the WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) category and is identified by the model WSN-3202. It is described as a Wireless Analog Input Node.
This device features 4 analog input channels and 4 bi-directional digital I/O channels. The analog inputs are 16-bit, single-ended and offer selectable input ranges, providing flexibility in deployment. A significant feature of the WSN-3202 is that it can support up to 36 nodes per gateway, enabling scalable network configurations.
It operates using the IEEE 802.15 communication protocol, ensuring reliable data transmission up to 300 meters. This node is specially designed to be compatible with the WSN-9701 Ethernet gateway, facilitating ease of integration into existing networks.
For power, the WSN-3202 can utilize either four 1.5 V AA battery cells or an external power supply ranging from 9 V to 30 V. Impressively, when powered by battery, it can achieve a battery life of up to 3 years with a 60 seconds sample interval, thanks to its efficient power management. Additionally, it supports external sensor power, offering further versatility in application.
Despite its obsolete status being announced by National Instruments, this valuable piece of equipment is still available for purchase through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to benefit from its advanced features and capabilities.
