When deployed in small places such as homes and offices, button batteries that are wired or even replaced are relatively easy to power the sensors. However, due to the wide and wide deployment of environmental sensors, often in remote, large spaces. , Such as factories and buildings. Therefore, the use of wired power is inefficient, and replacing the battery is often inconvenient. In fact, the same problem exists in sensors that are embedded in near but difficult to access (such as the center of the machine).
The number of currently deployed sensors is already in the billions, and this number will only continue to grow, there is no sign of slowing down. So, how can this problem be solved?
ON Semiconductor's smart passive sensors Smart Passive SensorsTM (SPS) are wireless batteryless sensors that can monitor various parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, or distance at the edge of the network. When subjected to an RF reader (such as ON Semiconductor When the semiconductor's TagReader) is monitoring, the SPS will 'capture' energy from the measurement signal and then read the sensor data quickly and with high accuracy.
Combining SPS technology with the latest Smart Passive Sensor Development Kit (SPSDEVK1) provides a complete sensing solution including a UHF SPS reader hub, UHF antenna, temperature sensor, a power supply and an Ethernet cable. Also includes TagReader software to read the SPS and implement the full functionality of the tag, providing a comprehensive system solution.
TagReader software automatically detects the type of tag attached, and graphically reads the sensor's data at a specified time. The graphical user interface (GUI) can configure all system parameters related to the measurement process and reconfigure them as needed. Therefore, even for the first time Users using SPSDEVK1 can also quickly and easily configure the system to collect and analyze data for a variety of fully wireless, battery-less IoT applications.
With solutions such as SPSDEVK1, IoT solutions no longer need to be purchased from multiple vendors; and because of the ability to quickly configure and modify multi-sensor IoT applications in hard-to-reach locations, it saves time and money.
