September 19, 2012 - MicroStrain expands LXRS "Lossless" Sensor Family to include Wireless Thermocouple and SG-Link-OEM Analog Sensor Nodes. In addition to more reliable data throughput, MicroStrain’s wireless thermocouple and OEM nodes provide interoperability with other LXRS wireless acceleration (G-Link), displacement (DVRT-Link), environmental monitoring (ENV-Link), and multi-channel analog (V-Link and SG-Link) sensor nodes. Users benefit from greater wireless sensor network configuration options that easily adjust and scale their unique applications. Synchronized data collection, combined with robust and reliable data acquisition, allows users to select lower sampling rates and reduced RF power levels.
This leads to longer battery lifetimes and also enables energy harvesters to be used in place of primary batteries.
LXRS enables MicroStrain wireless sensors to provide 100% packet success rate under most operating conditions while maintaining extended range radio link to 2 kilometers, supporting continuous, burst, and hybrid sampling modes, and maintaining time synchronization within +/- 32 microseconds. “Wireless sensor networks are a key element to supporting smart structures, advanced manufacturing, industrial machinery, environmental monitoring, and vehicle health,” says Steven Arms, Director, BusinessDevelopment, Sensing Systems at MicroStrain, a LORD Company. “By enabling data collection from scalable sensor networks without loss of information, MicroStrain’s LXRS solutions support high-performance monitoring without the need for hardwires.”
MicroStrain, A LORD Company based in Williston, Vermont, USA, is a manufacturer of sensing systems for demanding industrial and aerospace applications.
