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.

    A study by rail experts at the University of Huddersfield in the UK has concluded that railway crossing safety could be improved by networks of tiny wireless sensors attached to the tracks. Following extensive research at the university’s Institute of Railway Research (IRR), the Department for Transport-funded project established that the sensors could be powered by vibrations from approaching trains. They would then form a wireless network to send a message to lower or raise the gates. According to t
