Description
The T24-BSi is a robust industrial-grade wireless base station housed in a sealed IP67-rated ACM enclosure. Designed for configuration, control, and real-time data acquisition from any T24 wireless transmitter module, it provides a dependable interface for industrial systems and OEM integration.
Featuring USB, RS232, and RS485 communication options, the T24-BSi allows seamless connection to a wide range of host systems including PCs, PLCs, and third-party hardware. The unit transmits and receives data over the licence-free 2.4 GHz DSSS radio band and uses an integrated PCB antenna to deliver a line-of-sight wireless range of up to 800 metres (2,600 feet).
The base station is fully supported by the free T24 Toolkit software for Windows, enabling easy wireless configuration, calibration, and diagnostics of all T24 modules. It also supports continuous data capture from multiple transmitters, allowing it to operate as a powerful wireless telemetry data logger when connected to a PC.
For software developers, a standard Windows DLL and COM driver are available, making the T24-BSi suitable for integration into custom software platforms and OEM solutions. The system offers high-integrity, error-free communications that can coexist alongside other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and Zigbee®, with full ETSI, FCC, and IC approvals.

FAQ
| Q | Can base stations integrate to other communications protocols? |
| A | With the use of the .DLL and COM driver provided with the T24 Tool Kit, users can create tunnelling between the data provided by the base station, to the PC, and another communication protocols. |
| Q | Once a transmitter module has been configured, will it require regular connections to the base station? |
| A | No. Once a transmitter module has been configured it will remain stable for its lifetime providing its operating limits are not exceeded. |
| Q | What is the function of the USB and the industrial T24 base stations? |
| A | Â Both provide users with a PC interface by which collect data from any transmitter module with in range and configure all devices in the T24 range. |
| Q | How is the industrial base station different to the USB base station? |
| A | The industrial base station provides not only USB interface but also RS232 and RS485 at multiple baud rates. This module can also be DIN rail mounted. |
| Q | How many transmitter modules can be acquired by the base stations? |
| A | Each base station can use one of 15 channels. From that selected channel a base station can collect data simultaneously from any number transmitter modules depending upon the frequency of readings being provided by the transmitter module. |
| Q | What is the difference between the T24-SO Serial Output and T24 Base Stations? |
| A | The T24-SO gathers data from up to 8 transmitter modules and, on its serial output, provides a user configurable ASCII string. The output string can contain the summed value of the gathered data. This output can be used to drive serial displays, printers or to simply feed directly into a PC, PLC or other data transmitter systems. The base stations communicate bi-directionally so are used to configure the devices as well as gather data. The communications protocol is binary and packet based and so requires processing to present the data to the application in a formatted manner. |
| Q | How many T24 transmitter modules can be controlled by one USB base station at the same time? |
| A | Transmitter modules are not controlled when providing data, rather data is provided at a user determined rate during configuration set up. The base station can gather data from any number of transmitter modules providing they are on the same channel. The number of modules a single base station can process depends upon the frequency of transmission from the transmitter modules that channel. |
| Q | What protocol does the T24-BSI use on the RS232 and RS485 outputs? |
| A | These use a Mantracourt proprietary protocol. If you require a Modbus RTU or ASCII output you will need to use the T24-GW1 |
| Q | What are the differences between the four base stations? |
| A | A: T24-BSd – Our smallest and most cost effective Dongle USB base station has a range of 500 m and is ideal for use with laptops and tablets. The enclosure is IP50 rated.
T24-BSu – This USB base station has a range of 500 m and and is desktop or wall mountable. The enclosure is IP50 rated. T24-BSue – Our extended range USB base station has a range of 800 m and is housed in an IP67 rated enclosure. T24-BSi – This has an 800 m range, the same range as the BSue, but is housed a larger enclosure (also IP67). As well as a USB interface it also support RS232 and RS485. |
| Q | Â Can I connect multiple base stations to one PC? |
| A | You can only have one T24-BSu or T24-BSue connected to any one PC.There are more complex setups possible with the T24-BSi. You will need to download the appropriate DLL driver file to enable this to happen. |
