Description
The National Instruments WSN-3202 Analog Input Node, with part numbers 780997-02, 780997-12, 780997-01, and 780997-11, is equipped with 4 analog input channels that are 16-bit, single-ended and have selectable input ranges, complemented by 4 digital I/O channels which are bi-directional and can be individually configured. Utilizing the IEEE 802.15 wireless protocol, the device can achieve a maximum range of 300 meters when paired with the WSN-9701 Ethernet gateway.
Designed for versatility, it can operate on four 1.5 V AA battery cells or an external power supply ranging from 9 V to 30 V. Each gateway within the system can support up to 36 WSN-3202 nodes, with the potential for a battery life of up to 3 years given a sample interval of 60 seconds. Additionally, the node features a sensor power terminal to accommodate the needs of external sensors.
Despite its obsolete status being announced by National Instruments, the robust and reliable WSN-3202 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring ongoing support for industrial applications.
