This smart sensor solution expedites the design time in providing a high performance and robust data acquisition system with embedded intelligent functions for performing self-diagnostics, calibration, and sensor self-identification. CRE-SSN provides:

• Certified Zigbee Wireless Communication Module & software stack.
• IEEE 1451's TEDS capability
• Data Acquisition Core
• Library of Preprocessing Algorithms
• Embedded Calibration Functions
• Sensor intelligent functions (self-diagnostics and self-identification).
• Graphical User Interface
• Retrofitting capability
• NEW !! Upcoming Wireless Transducer Interface Module (WTIM) with IEEE 1451 compliance.

This is a customizable low cost product that can be tailored for applications that require optimized power consumption, size, weight, and very specific advanced processing capabilities. All sensors provide self-identification capability by embedded TEDS (IEEE 1451) and a library of embedded intelligent functions (calibration, self diagnostics, and pattern recognition). A health monitoring system can be implemented by CRE-SSN and baseline transducers but also it can be added to already available sensors in applications for enhancing system capabilities (retrofitting). A very friendly Graphical User Interface allows fast deployment, verification and validation, and sensor signal visualization. The CRE-SSN allows for sensing a single physical variable as well as variable sets by selecting the required transducer. Available options include vibration and general purpose transducers.

Structural Health Monitoring Vibration Transducer Options:

• coremicro® Reconfigurable Embedded - Smart Sensor Node for Vibration Measurement (CRE-SSNF) For extracting vibration information two baseline transducer types are available providing Structural Health Monitoring capability. Ruggedized accelerometers allow monitoring machinery (such as motors and pumps) vibration levels and tracking vibration signatures associated with specific events (failures) during operational conditions. PZT elements can be bonded to structure surfaces to measure strain and vibration.

General Purpose Transducer Options:

To provide tracking capability of physical parameters in a monitoring system (such as Condition Base Maintenance and Health Monitoring type systems) general purpose transducers are available to obtain single measurement or measurement sets (by configuration of sensor suites). Available options are:

• coremicro® Reconfigurable Embedded - Smart Sensor Node for Flow Measurement (CRE-SSNF) based on a hall effect sensor that delivers a square signal, used for measuring rate flows for a low cost and ultra low power solution.

• coremicro® Reconfigurable Embedded - Smart Sensor Node for Temperature Measurement (CRE-SSNTRTD1) baseline is based on accurate RTD sensors. Combined with embedded calibration functions and TEDS the CRE-SSNTRTD1 is a product that can be used with advanced Condition Base Maintenance and provides the same functionality even with CBM software updates. Customizable for other operational ranges and requirements.

• coremicro® Reconfigurable Embedded - Smart Sensor Node for Pressure Measurement (CRE-SSNP-1) baseline pressure sensor provides a range of 500 psig with an output signal between 0.5 to 4.5 V. It requires a supply current with a maximum value of 15 mA. The sensor is designed for a pressure overload of two times the normal range (minimum) with an output load of 1 MO. Customizable for other operational ranges and requirements.
