Functions
COORDINATOR
The Coordinator is a device that can be built in, or easily
attached to the t-mac system.
t-mac, our Internet remote monitor and control device has
been designed to enable ease of installation of a coordinator
module for Wireless Sensor monitor and control. With this
module, t-mac becomes the network coordinator:
 |
It can set up a network |
| |
|
|
Manages network nodes (WiST
enabled sensors and switches). |
| |
|
|
Stores network node information
(data collected from the WiST enabled sensors/switches/key
fobs). |
NODE
|
WiST can be connected to a
variety of off-the-shelf sensors and other such devices
of your choice. These become the 'Network Nodes' which
talk to the
coordinator (t-mac) |
These nodes:
|
Facilitate battery powered
or high energy saving applications |
| |
|
|
Search for available networks/t-mac
units |
| |
|
|
Transfer data from application
to t-mac for monitoring |
| |
|
|
Request data from the network
coordinator/t-mac unit |
| |
|
|
Can sleep for extended periods,
facilitating long battery life and energy savings |
REPEATER
The repeater is a WiST device placed between the coordinator
and a cluster of nodes to increase overall range/distance of
the wireless network and also provide a gateway to the network
for a node which is unable to communicate directly with the
coordinator.
One or a multiple number FAW Electronics Ltd's WiST repeaters
can be positioned in the network to route data to nodes which
cannot communicate directly with the coordinator - creating
a 'daisy chain' effect. |
