Wireless 8 Channel Analog Input Sensor Node
The V- Link - 200 wireless sensor node features eight analog input channels
designed to accommodate a wide range of Wheatstone bridge and analog
sensors, including strain, load cell, torque, pressure, acceleration, vibration,
magnetic field, displacement, and geophones. There are four channels for singleended sensor measurement, four channels for differential sensor measurement,
and an on-board internal temperature sensor.
The LED indicators on the V-Link-200 include operational modes showing when
the node is booting up, idle and waiting for a command, sampling,
resynchronizing, or if there is an error. see Table 2 - below describing basic
indicator behavior.
To acquire sensor data, the V- Link - 200 is used with a LORD Sensing data
gateway such as the WSDA-101 or WSDA-1500 Base. V-Link-200 sensor nodes
come with the following components.

SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Install Software
Sensor nodes have three operational modes: active , sleep , and idle . When the
node is sampling, it is in active mode. When sampling stops, the node is switched
into idle mode, which is used for configuring node settings, and allows toggling
between sampling and sleeping modes. The node will automatically go into the
ultra low- power sleep mode after a user- determined period of inactivity. The
node will not go into sleep mode while sampling.
Install the SensorConnect software on the host computer before connecting any
hardware. The SensorConnect software is available on the LORD Sensing
website for free download:
http://www.microstrain.com/software/software
2. Make System Connections
To acquire sensor data, the V- Link - 200 is used with a LORD Sensing data
gateway such as the WSDA-101-Base or WSDA-1500-LXRS.
Figure 2 - Node Operational Modes

3. Establish Gateway Communication
4. Connect to Nodes
The WSDA-101-Base USB gateway is used in this example. For information on
how to use other gateways, refer to the gateway or SensorConnect user manual.
The node can be connected with the automatic node discovery feature and by
manually entering the node address and then searching for it on the current
gateway communication frequency.
Drivers for the USB gateways are included the SensorConnect software
installation. With the software installed, the USB gateway will be detected
automatically whenever the gateway is plugged in.
1. If the base and node are on the same operating frequency, the node
will populate below the Base Station listing when powering on the VLink-200.
1. Power is applied to the gateway through the USB connection. Verify
the gateway status indicator is illuminated, showing the gateway is
connected and powered on.
2. Open the SensorConnect software.
3. The gateway should appear in the Controller window automatically
with a communication port assignment. If the gateway is not
automatically discovered, verify the port is active on the host
computer, and then remove and re-insert the USB connector.
Figure 4 - Automatic Node Discovery
2. If a red circle with a number appears next to Base Station, the node
is operating on a separate radio channel. Select the Base Station
and then select the Nodes on Other Frequencies tile.
Figure 3 - USB Gateway Communication
Figure 5 - Nodes On Other Frequencies

3. Highlight the new node being added. Select Move Node to
Frequency (#).
5. Configure Node
Node settings are stored to non-volatile memory and may be configured using
SensorConnect. For details related to node configuration, see Wireless Sensor
Configuration on page 1.
For this example the V-Link-200 tester board is on channel 1.
1. Select Hardware > Input Range for channel 1, select +/-2 mV from
the drop down menu.
2. Under Hardware Offset, select Balance Target for channel 1, select
Mid (50%) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Auto- Balance. When auto- balance is complete, a blue
information window will indicate the balance result.
Figure 6 - Move Node
4. When manually entering the node address, select Manual Add
Node, enter Node Address, last known Frequency (factory default is
15), and select Add Node.
Figure 8 - Auto-Balance
4. Select Calibration.
5. Select Microstrain from the Unit drop down menu, and select the
Shunt Cal button enabled on the right.
Figure 7 - Adding a Node by Address

9. When the calibration is complete, the Wireless Node Configuration
window will appear.
10. Select Apply Configuration to write to node memory.
See below for wiring of other strain gauges.

6. Use the following settings:
a. Calibration Mode: Internal
b. Number of Active Gauges: 4
c. Gauge Factor: 2
d. Gauge Resistance: 1000
e. Shunt Resistance: 499000
Figure 11 - Full-Bridge (Standard)
7. Select Start Shunt Cal for Slope and Offset calibrations.
8. Select Accept Calibration.

3. Select Apply and Start Network.
4. Select Create Quick View Dashboard in the pop up window immediately
to create a dashboard of the new data.

* Requires optional on-board bridge completion
6. Configure Sampling Setting and Start Data Acquisition
1. Left click on the Base Station > Sampling, and indicate the nodes to be
sampled by checking the box to the left of each node.
2. Under Sampling, select Sample Rate from the drop down menu, select
Continuously to sample indefinitely, or For to set a limited time for
sample sets.

7. Replacing Batteries
Lithium batteries contain toxic chemicals that are
harmful to humans and the environment. Disposal is
subject to federal and local laws. Do not discard the
battery or the node in the trash. Follow proper battery
disposal protocol, or contact LORD Sensing Technical
Support for information on extracting the battery or
returning the product for proper recycling and disposal.
1. Remove the screws on both sides of the face plate to open the V-Link200.
2. It is important to replace all four of the batteries at the same time,
observing the correct polarity orientation. The positive polarities are
indicated on the batteries and the node by a "+" symbol.
3. Reassemble.
