概要

The CWS900A allows a sensor with a special connector to be used in a wireless sensor network; the special connector is available as an option for a large variety of sensors. (See the Compatibility information on the web page.)

The CWS900A contains an internal 922 MHz spread-spectrum radio that transmits data to the CWB100A Wireless Base Station or to another wireless sensor. The frequency of the internal radio is commonly used in the Australia and New Zealand.

利点と特徴

  • Allows a wide variety of sensors to be used in a wireless network
  • Internal frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum radio provides longer range and less interference
  • Battery powered
  • A reliable, low-maintenance, low-power method for making measurements in applications where cabled sensors are impractical or otherwise undesirable
  • Transmissions can be routed through up to three other wireless sensors

詳細

The CWS900A has a sealed connector for attaching one rain gage, wind sensor, temperature/RH probe, or another low-power sensor. It measures analog voltages, low-level ac, pulse counts, and can supply an excitation voltage for powering some sensors or making bridge measurements. The type of measurement that the sensor performs is configured using Wireless Sensor Planner, Network Planner, or DevConfig software. The CWS900A interfaces with the PC for configuration via the A205 CWS Sensor to PC Interface.

The CWS900A can route its transmissions through up to three other wireless sensors. A data logger is connected to the CWB100A base station for processing and storing the CWS900A's data.

This interface is battery powered using either alkaline batteries or a rechargeable battery and a solar cell.

Why Wireless?

There are situations when it is desirable to make measurements in locations where the use of cabled sensors is problematic. Protecting cables by running them through conduit or burying them in trenches is time consuming, labor intensive, and sometimes not possible. Local fire codes may preclude the use of certain types of sensor cabling inside of buildings. In some applications measurements need to be made at distances where long cables decrease the quality of the measurement or are too expensive. There are also times when it is important to increase the number of measurements being made but the data logger does not have enough available channels left for attaching additional sensor cables.

Note: The internal radio is not designed to move a lot of data quickly. It takes 15 to 30 seconds per hop when moving data from a sensor, through a sensor used as a repeater, and ending up at the base radio. Going through three repeaters could take a data packet anywhere from 45 to 90 seconds to get to the base radio.

Sensors

One sensor attaches to the CWS900A. Sensors with the -CWS option will include a connector that mates with the CWS900A. Alternatively, a sensor can connect with the CWS900A via the A150 Desiccant Case.

A150 Desiccated Case

The A150 Desiccated Case has a -CWS cable termination option. It allows our CS450 and CS455 pressure transducers or other sensors that have a vented cable to be connected to the CWS900A. Sensors that measure analog voltages, frequency, and pulse can also use the A150 to connect with the CWS900A.
