Wired or Wireless connectivity
The Sentinel’s internal Ethernet TCP/IP structure is perfectly suited
to distributed acquisition and control. Acquisition modules can be connected
directly by cable at distances up to 100 meters per leg, or combined with
Transceiver modules to allow up to 2 km wireless communication. Repeater
modules can be used to extend distances even further. Data from remote
modules is precisely time synchronized for simultaneous data acquisition
across the distributed network. Proprietary bi-directional communication
technology incorporating precision timestamps, large RAM buffers and full
handshaking ensures 100% error-free transmission at data rates up to 4
Mbit/s. Timestamped data packets are transferred directly in real-time
to a Windows PC or stored locally to flash memory for later transfer.
Wireless links place sensors at signal source and eliminate difficult
cable runs
Intelligent
Power Management
The Sentinel’s low power design enables the system to be powered
from 100 – 240 Vac, 9 – 72 Vdc, battery and even solar cell
supplies. Battery modules up to 80 watt-hours can power a typical system
for a full day at top speeds. And programmable shutdown and wake-up modes
further extend battery performance by placing the unit in a “sleep”
mode between acquisitions.
Precision timestamps and full handshaking guarantee error-free transmission
