How To Buy
  • Provides wireless data acquisition from T24 Acqusition Modules
  • Configures any T24 Telemetry module via USB
  • Powered from USB
  • Up to 100m (325 ft) range
  • Miniature desk or wall mounting enclosure

The USB base station is required for the configuration of all T24 modules and is greatly simplified by the free T24 Toolkit software for Windows supplied upon purchase. Data can also be captured by the base station from an unlimited number of T24 Acquisition modules to provide a wireless data logger.

The integral antenna offers up to 100m (325 ft) range in an open field site. An industrial base station (T24-BSi) is also available with a different antenna providing up to 200m (650 ft) range. This device also offers RS232 and RS485 interfaces.

For software developers, a standard Windows DLL and COM driver are available to enable data collection from T24 acquisition modules.

The licence free 2.4GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology offers high integrity, error free communications which can co-exist with other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Zigbee®.  ETSI, FCC and IC approvals.

What is the function of the USB and industrial base stations?

Both provide users with a PC interface by which to calibrate and configure all devices in the T24 range as well as collect and log data from any acquisition module within range.

How is the industrial base station different to the USB base station?

The industrial base station provides not only USB interface but also RS232 and RS485. This module can also be DIN rail mounted.

How many acquisition modules can be acquired by the base stations?

Each base station can use one of 16 channels. From one of those channels a base station can collect data simultaneously from any number acquisition modules depending upon the frequency of readings being provided.

How many T24 Acquisition modules can be controlled by one USB Base Station at the same time?

Acquisition modules are not controlled when providing data, rather data is provided at a user determined rate during configuration set up. The base station can gather data from any number of acquisition modules providing they are on the same channel. The number of modules a single base station can process depends upon the frequency of transmission from the acquisition modules that channel.

Can base stations integrate to other communications protocols?

Our SCADA software package ‘Visual Link’ interacts with all of our devices
allowing a PC to enact the conversion. In addition, with the use of the .DLL and
COMM driver provided with the T24 Tool Kit, users can create tunneling between the data provided by the base station to the PC and another communications protocols.
 

Once an acquisition module has been configured, will it require regular connections to the base station?

No. Once an acquisition module has been configured it will remain stable for its lifetime providing its operating limits are not exceeded.
