Practical examples:
I.
You want to monitor a tree, the simplest scenario:
Provide a control sensor and a base sensor for the tree. If it is also attached to the tree,
the central unit can also directly take over the function of the control sensor, which
means that you only need one TMSO.IM and the TMSO.CU.
The resulting project structure then looks as follows:
Project
|
Cluster 1
|
Tree 1
|
TMSO.CU
(control sensor)
|
TMSO.IM 1
(base sensor)
II.
You want to monitor several trees that are close together:
Provide a base sensor for each tree to be monitored. Since all trees are close together,
they can all be combined into a cluster and linked to a control sensor via a reference
tree. If required, the control sensor function can also be taken over again by the central
unit. However, in this example a TMSO.IM is used for this purpose.
Project structure:
Project
|
Cluster 1
|
Tree 1
|
|
TMSO.IM 1
(base sensor)
|
Tree 2
(highest tree in the group)
|
|
TMSO.IM 2
(base sensor)
|
|
TMSO.IM 3
(control sensor)
|
Tree 3
|
|
TMSO.IM 4
(base sensor)
|
Tree 4

|
TMSO.IM 5
(base sensor)

TMSO.IM 6

The TMSO.CU is attached to a mast slightly off the site.
