M-Gage wireless vehicle sensor

Tuesday, 08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd


Banner Engineering has introduced the M-Gage wireless sensor node for vehicle sensing using Banner’s new SureCross Wireless Network. The specially optimised M-Gage wireless sensor is encapsulated in a rugged, IP67 SureCross node enclosure and accompanied by a long-lasting FlexPower battery. The battery supplies power for both sensing and wireless connectivity up to 10 years. The M-Gage offers greater durability and reliability than inductive loops and is less costly to install and maintain. Simple in-ground installation requires no major excavation and provides quick and easy access for battery replacement when required.

The M-Gage replaces inductive loop systems by reliably detecting 3D changes in the Earth’s natural magnetic field caused by the presence of large ferrous objects.

Banner’s SureCross Wireless Network offers proprietary RF design and a centralised gateway system controller and with the addition of the high-accuracy, long lasting M-Gage wireless sensor, the system offers a robust solution to many vehicle sensing applications, including loading dock occupancy monitoring; manufacturing monitoring and error proofing; triggering backup power systems when needed; truck scale traffic management; drive-through system vehicle detection; and door opening and closing in high-traffic applications.

The M-Gage wireless sensor is available with internal or external antennas, operates at 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz systems for global applications and has direct connectivity to Modbus RTU RS485 and RS232 serial communications and other industrial protocols.
