Base Station Gateway
The KCF Hardware Advantage:
DART Wireless
–communication protocol– used for sending data.
DART Wireless is KCF’s communication protocol used for sending data through our mesh network of wireless vibration sensors and Base Station Gateways. Sensors do not need to be paired to a specific Base Station. Instead, they can hop from one Base Station to another—utilizing the strongest signal pathway, ensuring a reliable stream of continuous data without any user input. This makes the system a modular and scalable solution for facilities of all sizes.
- Enables full spectrum data at a one per minute frequency while maintaining long battery life
- Patented communication protocol
- Low RF interference
- Will NOT interrupt plant Wi-Fi
Base Station Gateway
How It Works
Patented network built for:
–zero–interference– with plant Wi-Fi or other RF.
Key Features
Mesh Network
The Base Station is the central device managing communications with all of your wireless devices and connects them to the internet. Multiple Base Stations located throughout a facility create a mesh network.
Data Storage
The Base Station Gateway is built with ample internal storage to ensure your data is safe, even if the connection to SMARTdiagnostics is lost temporarily.
Nerve Center
The Base Station is the nerve center of any SMARTdiagnostics Machine Health Platform installation, allowing effective predictive maintenance for your industrial equipment.
Base Station Gateway Installation
Our Base Station Gateways Need Just Two Things for Use:
- a power outlet
- an internet connection
This connection can be through your plant’s Ethernet, or the Base Station’s built-in cellular modem.
Base Stations are mounted using KCF’s universal mount. This allows for mounting to poles, railings, walls, shelves, and more—usually without the use of tools. It’s best to mount the Base Station up high, both to get a good line of sight above most of the shop floor industrial equipment, but also to keep them out of reach.
