Radio connects to sensors

A new radio from Banner Engineering combines wireless transceiver, power supply and I/O circuits in one compact housing. The DX80DR MultiHop Radio connects sensors directly to the network, eliminating need for data loggers, power supplies, PLCs or HMIs at the sensor location. The MultiHop system automatically repeats wireless messages as needed to extend distance capability to 20 km or more. Radios can be powered by 10-30 VDC, battery or solar power supply.

    RFID Sensors 2017-2027
    The general RFID market has seen substantial growth over the last few years, with successful public offerings and rapid growth in terms of the number of RFID tags sold, according to a new report by IDTechEx. Vendors are now exploring allied technologies with RFID sensors at the forefront of this. RFID sensors combine a sensors system (such as monitoring temperature, humidity, shock, pressure or moisture) with RFID communications. This has been enabled thanks to new chipsets, both HF (NFC) and UHF (RAIN)

    Options abound for road weather sensing
    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.
