USER GUIDE AND SPECIFICATIONS

NI WSN-3226

NI Wireless Sensor Network 4-Channel, 20-Bit Voltage/RTD Node

This user guide describes how to use the NI WSN-3226 voltage/RTD node and lists its specifications. 
Figure 1 shows the NI WSN system components.

Figure 1.  

NI WSN System Components

The NI WSN-3226 is a four-channel, low-power, wireless voltage/resistance device that works with 
other NI WSN-32

xx

 nodes and gateways to form a wireless sensor network. The NI WSN system 

consists of one or more NI WSN gateways, up to 36 NI WSN-32

xx

 nodes per gateway, and multiple PCs 

or Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to receive and analyze the distributed sensor data. For 
more information about PACs, visit 

ni.com

When you connect the NI WSN gateway, you can use a separate host PC running Windows, or a PAC 
running NI LabVIEW Real-Time, to display measurement results, status information, and to change the 
NI WSN gateway and NI WSN-3226 device settings.
