128229-01 Voltage Measurement Sensors

128229-01 of the radio is the main power consumption factor, so if the application does not require every sample to be transmitted to the gateway, then transmitting only the data that is needed and meaningful will greatly extend battery life. Common transmission guidelines include threshold values or deadband percentages. In addition, you can reduce the number of samples transmitted back to the host by methods such as averaging and using floating-point mathematical functions to reduce the data at the nodes.

The 128229-01 can also be used to optimise the behaviour of the node for specific operating environments or network requirements by creating logic to achieve extended battery life. For example, if the battery voltage drops to a critical level, you can program the node to notify the operator and reduce the sampling and transmission rates to keep the node dormant until an event occurs, which can result in significant power savings compared to polling mechanisms.

The 128229-01 allows the user to convert raw acquisition data into meaningful information. For example, raw voltages measured by sensors can be converted to engineering units directly at the node. This provides a level of extraction that eliminates the need for a host application to re-transform the data measured from the node. In addition, the node’s flexible local conversion capability allows the use of more intuitive power-sensitive algorithms that support conditional transfer of data based on thresholds or deadband criteria.
