Description
The WSN-3202 is a Wireless Analog Input Node that is part of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) category. It is designed to facilitate efficient and reliable data acquisition in a variety of industrial and environmental monitoring applications. The device is identified by several part numbers, including 780997-02, 780997-12, 780997-01, and 780997-11, making it accessible for replacement or expansion purposes.
This model boasts four analog input channels, which are 16-bit, single-ended channels with selectable input ranges. This feature allows for flexible and precise data capture from a wide range of sensor types. In addition to analog inputs, the WSN-3202 is equipped with four digital I/O channels. These channels support bi-directional operation and offer configurable modes, enhancing the node’s versatility in handling various digital signals.
A key characteristic of the WSN-3202 is its capability to support up to 36 nodes per gateway. This high node capacity enables the creation of extensive sensor networks, ideal for comprehensive monitoring tasks. Wireless communication is implemented through the IEEE 802.15 standard, ensuring reliable data transmission over distances of up to 300 meters when used with the WSN-9701 Ethernet gateway.
Powering the WSN-3202 is flexible, with options for four 1.5 V AA battery cells or an external power supply ranging from 9 V to 30 V. The battery life is notably long, lasting up to three years with a sample interval of 60 seconds, which significantly reduces maintenance needs. Additionally, this node features an external sensor power terminal, providing convenient power supply options for connected sensors.
Despite its obsolete status, the WSN-3202 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on this capable device for their wireless sensor networking needs without concern for immediate obsolescence.
