1.0 Wireless Sensor Network Overview
The LORD Sensing Wireless Sensor Network is a high-speed, scalable, sensor data
acquisition and sensor networking system. Each system consists of wireless sensor
interface nodes, a data collection gateway, and full-featured user software platforms
based on the LORD Sensing Lossless Extended Range Synchronized (LXRS) data
communications protocol. Bi-directional wireless communication between the node and
gateway enables sensor data collection and configuration. Gateways can be connected
locally to a host computer or remotely via local and mobile networks. Some gateways also
feature analog outputs for porting sensor data directly to stand-alone data acquisition
equipment.
The selection of available nodes allows interface with many types of sensors, including
accelerometers, strain gauges, pressure transducers, load cells, torque and vibration
sensors, magnetometers, 4 to 20mA sensors, thermocouples, RTD sensors, soil moisture
and humidity sensors, inclinometers, and orientation and displacement sensors. Some
nodes come with integrated sensing devices such as accelerometers. System sampling
capabilities include lossless synchronized sampling, continuous and periodic burst
sampling, and data logging. A single gateway can coordinate many nodes of any type,
and multiple gateways can be managed from one computer with the SensorConnect and
SensorCloud software platforms. Integration to customer systems can be accomplished
using OEM versions of the sensor nodes and leveraging the LORD Sensing data
communications protocol.
Common wireless applications of LORD Sensing Sensing Systems are strain sensor
measurement, accelerometer platforms, vibration monitoring, energy monitoring,
environmental monitoring, and temperature monitoring.

2.0 Node Overview
The G-Link-200 wireless accelerometer node features an onboard triaxial accelerometer
that allows high resolution data acquisition at noise levels as low as 25 or 80 µg√ Hz. The
G-Link-200 can output continuous waveform data, or one of four derived channels,
including Velocity (IPSrms), Amplitude (Grms and G pk- pk) and Crest Factor, allowing long-
term monitoring of key performance indicators while maximizing battery life.
G-Link-200 inputs are 20-bit resolution with ± 0.1% full scale measurement accuracy. The
node can log data to internal memory, transmit real-time synchronized data, and it
supports event driven triggers with both pre- and post- event buffers.
To acquire sensor data, the G-Link-200 is used with a LORD Sensing data gateway such
as the WSDA-200 USB or WSDA-2000.

2.2 Interface and Indicators
The G-Link-200 LEDs indicate operational modes showing when the node is booting up,
idle and waiting for a command, sampling, resynchronizing, or if there is an error.

2.3 Node Operational Modes
Sensor nodes have three operational modes: active, sleep, and idle. When the node is
sampling, it is in active mode. When sampling stops, the node is switched into idle mode,
which is used for configuring node settings, and allows toggling between sampling and
sleeping modes. The node will automatically enter ultra low-power sleep mode after a
user-determined period of inactivity. The node will not enter sleep mode while sampling.
