Introduction 1
MCM-216/218
1 Introduction
With the advent of IoT, more field devices are connecting to the
Internet. Instead of being distributed at each field site, systems
can be monitored and managed from a central control room. In
this scenario, machine condition monitoring systems play a crucial
role. Monitoring devices are typically deployed at the OT site, but
by using an Ethernet-based data acquisition system (DAQ),
machine conditions can be monitored remotely by IT staff.
The ADLINK MCM-216/218 is a standalone Ethernet DAQ that
acquires voltage and current signals from a monitored machine
which represent the machine status, with a threshold setting
mechanism reporting important results to the backend server. This
in turn dramatically reduces network bandwidth traffic as well as
the backend server’s computing burden.
The MCM-216/218 is designed for on-site process automation in
the field. When recovering from a power failure, the system will
automatically resume its previous running state. The
MCM-216/218's compact size also makes it easy to install in the
limited confines of an electrical control cabinet.
