Description

TIDA-00561 shows how to build an industrial-grade wireless pH transmitter for process control. This reference design includes a designed pH front-end which can be connected directly via its onboard connector to most pH probes used in process control. The performance data was tested and characterized (input range 0 to 14 pH: overall tested accuracy +/- 0.01 pH) to ensure compatibility with process instrumentation needs.Because TIDA-00561 form factor and electrical connections are compatible with the TI SimpleLink™ CC2650 SensorTag ecosystem: a simple firmware update is enough to select the wireless connectivity technology: Bluetooth® Smart: ZigBee® or 6LoWPAN: among others. The firmware used for testing and characterization is Bluetooth Smart: which has the highest presence ratio in portable equipment: making testing and demonstration easier. Once you select the wireless technology for your industrial wireless network: you can start collecting data with the associated gateway: which then allows you to run analytics either on a PC or directly on the Sitara-powered BeagleBone Black.
