(AMETEK: Bognor Regis, West Sussex, UK) -- AMETEK Solartron Metrology, a leader in linear measurement and dimensional gauging, has introduced a Bluetooth-enabled interface controller for wireless communication with the Orbit 3 network.

The wireless interface module (WIM) allows communication between any PC with a Bluetooth connection and the Orbit sensor network. It’s possible to connect up to 150 sensors to the WIM. It can take up to 25 static readings per second for up to eight modules and is the best way to optimize readings using the read-burst command.

The communication range is a minimum of 10 m with a Class 1 Bluetooth device. A power supply input module (PSIM) is needed to ensure that the WIM receives 5Vdc for operation, with one PSIM powering one WIM and up to 31 Orbit modules.

The module has application in a variety of industries including electronics, aerospace, and automotive. Manufacturers now can get readings from their Orbit sensor networks without needing to physically connect their PCs, providing more versatile and user-friendly solutions.
