Introduction 1
MCM-204
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-204 is a standalone Ethernet DAQ that
acquires vibration signals from a monitored machine and trans-
forms this signal from raw data into filtered data. By capturing data
such as FFT, power spectrum, overall value (OA), etc., with a
standalone DAQ, the MCM-204 plays a critical role in pre-process-
ing at the edge. Continuous high-volume data generated in the
field can be converted to filtered data, significantly reducing its
size. This in turn dramatically reduces network bandwidth traffic as
well as the backend server’s computing burden.
The MCM-204 is designed for on-site process automation in the
field. When recovering from a power failure, the system will auto-
matically resume its previous running state. The MCM-204's com-
pact size also makes it easy to install in the limited confines of an
electrical control cabinet.
