G-Link® -mXRS? Wireless Accelerometer Node

G-Link® -mXRS? Wireless Accelerometer Node

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The G-Link®-mXRS is a wireless accelerometer node that integrates triaxial accelerometers, embedded processing, wireless communications, and precision timekeeping. It operates within a synchronized network of sensor nodes up to 1 km from the WSDA®-Base, featuring an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery for measuring accelerations, vibrations, and tilt angles.

Features & Benefits

Supports hundreds of simultaneous sampling nodes.
Node synchronization of +/- 32 microseconds.
Ultra-stable timing reference of +/- 3 ppm over industrial temperature range.
Programmable communication range from 70m to 2,000m.

Applications

Modal testing, inclination & vibration testing.
Security systems via wireless sensor networks.
Assembly line testing with smart packaging.
Sports performance and medicine analysis.
Condition-based maintenance and smart structures.

System Overview
The mXRS™ system is centered around the WSDA®-Base, which synchronizes timekeepers within each sensor node using beaconing protocols. The WSDA®-Base coordinates data collection, and users can program nodes for various sampling modes using Node Commander® software.

Specifications

Triaxial MEMs accelerometers with ranges of ±2 g or ±10 g.
Measurement accuracy of 10 mg and resolution of 1.5 mg RMS (2 g), 9 mg RMS (10 g).
Temperature sensor range from -40˚C to 70˚C with typical accuracy of ±2˚C.
Data storage capacity of 2 megabytes, logging up to 1,000,000 data points.

G-Link® -mXRS? Wireless Accelerometer Node-1

MicroStrain Extended Range Synchronized Wireless Accelerometer Node Technical Product Overview Combining triaxial accelerometers, embedded processing, wireless communications, and precision timekeeping, G-Link®-mXRS wireless nodes operate within a fast, synchronized, scalable network of wireless sensor nodes located up to 1 km from our WSDA® -Base. G-Link®-mXRS nodes include an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery and measure accelerations, vibrations, and tilt angles with their embedded accelerometers. Features & Benefits • Support for hundreds of simultaneous sampling wireless sensor nodes • Node to node synchronization of+/- 32 microseconds • Ultra-stable on-board precision timing reference of +/- 3 ppm over industrial temperature range • programmable communication range from 70m to 2,000m • Modal testing inclination & vibration testing and control • Security systems enabled by wireless sensor networks • Assembly line testing with "smart packaging" • Sports performance and sports medicine analysis • Condition- based maintenance by wireless sensor networks • Smart machines, smart structures, & smart materials System Overview At the heart of MicroStrain's extended range synchronized (mXRS™) system is the WSDA®-Base, which uses our exclusive beaconing protocols to synch precision timekeepers embedded within each sensor node in the network. The WSDA®-Base also coordinates data collection from all sensor nodes, including G-LINK® -mXRS. Users can easily program each node on the scalable network for simultaneous, periodic, or burst mode sampling with our Node Commander® software, which then automatically configures network radio communications to maximize the aggregate sample rate.
