The vWire board is a low power wireless data acquisition and
control board that operates in two major modes, I/O Line Passing mode and
Network API mode.
I/O Line Passing mode allows up to eleven wireless
virtual cable connections to be established between two or more vWire
boards. Analog or digital/switch signal inputs on one board are
wirelessly transmitted to another vWire board where they are reproduced as
identical analog or digital/switch signals. Additionally, an RS232 signal
input on one board is received as an RS232 output signal on the remote board
allowing transparent RS232 virtual cable operation.
Network API mode allows up to 65533 vWire boards to
be connected in a peer-to-peer network allowing remote analog and digital
data monitoring and control of hundreds of thousands of nodes over the
entire network. Up to 12 separate networks can be established in the same
area.
Analog and digital inputs on any vWire board in the network
can be retrieved through any other vWire board in the network.
Similarly, an analog or digital output can be forced on any vWire board in
the network through any other vWire board in the network.
An easy to use configuration utility is provided to set up
an application in minutes. Default configuration files show both Line
passing and Network API setups.
