Description
The National Instruments WSN-3212 is a versatile Thermocouple Input Node for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) featuring part numbers 780998-01 and 780998-02. It offers four thermocouple input channels and four bidirectional digital channels, each configurable for sinking output, input, or sourcing output, providing flexibility for various industrial applications.
With an ADC resolution of 24 bits, the WSN-3212 ensures high-precision data acquisition, and its capability to be configured as a mesh router enhances network scalability, supporting up to 32 measurement nodes or 8 router nodes per gateway. Designed to withstand industrial environments, the node boasts industrial temperature ratings and allows for programmable input ranges.
The device operates within a voltage range of 9 to 30 V and can be powered by a field-replaceable battery or an external power supply, ensuring uninterrupted performance. Communication is achieved through 2.4 GHz frequency radio signals, minimizing interference with other devices.
It supports a broad range of thermocouple types, including R, S, T, B, N, E, J, and more, and features built-in Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) for accurate temperature readings.
