ZigBee wireless sensor nodes

The ZigSense line of wireless sensors utilises ZigBee mesh network technology as its core communications channel. Australian designed and made, ZigSense wireless nodes establish a self-healing network of spatially distributed sensors that cooperatively monitor physical and environmental conditions. Data can be transferred to standard SCADA, telemetry, PLC and HMI stations via a ZigSense communications gateway.

Industrial, manufacturing, water treatment, chemical processing plants and mining sites are just a few examples where the need for reliable and portable monitoring channels are required ad hoc between remote instrumentation devices and the plant’s control room.

ZigSense wireless nodes are built into a small robust polycarbonate IP65 enclosure. Designed for low power consumption, they utilise a sleep mode to operate under battery power for a prolonged period of time. ZigSense nodes can be interfaced to multiple sensors including general I/O devices and legacy serial links such as RS232 and RS485.

A communications gateway links between the ZigSense wireless network of sensors and standard monitoring and control systems. The ZigSense gateway uses Modbus/RTU or Modbus/TCP protocol as its default communications link.
