VW Comm Interface Module
Three industry standard communication interfaces are included: RS-232, RS-485 and SDI-12. The RS-232 interface provides compatibility with a wide range of standard wireless adaptors and modems including those from Digi International and Freewave, facilitating the deployment of cost-effective networks of wireless sensors.
The RS-485 interface allows an inexpensive, reliable wired network to be built using simple twisted pair cabling. Up to 61 nodes are supported in a wired network, with up to 1200m (4000’) of cabling. The network can be easily extended with RS-485 repeaters.
The vibrating wire interface consists of a precision differential amplifier with band-pass filtering, which improves noise rejection and measurement reliability. The excitation and measurement parameters are programmable to support all commonly used vibrating wire instruments. Reading output can be programmed for digits (Hz^2×10–³), frequency (Hz) or period (μS).
The VW Comm Module also includes support for reading YSI44005 type thermistors to provide sensor temperature measurements. Other thermistors or temperature devices are supported as well.
In addition to the vibrating wire and thermistor input capability, a single-ended voltage up to 2.5 VDC can be measured. A high accuracy 2.5 VDC reference is also provided for powering other sensors such as RTD’s and linear potentiometers. 10-bit measurement resolution can be improved with configurable averaging. The voltage input range can be offset from 0.5 to 2.5 VDC to optimize the resolution for 4-20 mA sensors. The VW Comm can also read the power supply voltage and internal temperature.

The structural infrastructure must always meet requirements such as performance, stability and durability. These requirements will have a lasting effect on our mobility in the future. The corrosion risk and the corrosion activity of the reinforcing steel largely define these requirements and are determined by various impact and material parameters.
