Wireless structural monitoring sensors for industrial applications are typically used for structural displacement monitoring, allowing movement and shift detection between two points.
For example, positioning control systems, lifting and spreading beam testing, hydraulic movement detection, and structural shift monitoring, use this structural monitoring sensor to measure distances between two points.
How does the wireless structural monitoring sensor work?
A retractable wire cable of 50cm in length is used for structural monitoring (fully extended). The sensor is constantly attempting to pull the cable back. The sensor indicates values ranging from 0 to 1023 as the cable is extended between 0 and 50cm. The sensor that comes with the kit should be used to track movement between two places. Between the cable’s end and the sensor, any structural adjustments or displacement will be noticed. Only extension or contraction are measured by the sensor, not angular changes in the cable. Most applications would benefit from employing a partially stretched cable because the sensor would detect any expansion or retraction of the cable.

IoT Security in the wireless structural monitoring sensor
IoT security is a relevant factor for the brand, every IoT sensor, gateway, modem, and device in the NCD Enterprise product line is encrypted. Encryption is easier to manage than you might think because it does not obstruct your ability to use the device. Every device comes with a standard 128-bit AES encryption key, or we can assist you with integrating a fresh encryption key into all of your devices. The same encryption key must be used by all hardware devices. Once the keys are programmed, the hardware takes care of the rest in the background.
