The MCM-204 delivers high-precision static and dynamic measurement performance. The 24-bit Sigma-Delta ADC supports antialiasing filtering, suppressing modulation and signal out-of-band noise and providing usable signal bandwidth at the Nyquist rate, making it ideal for high dynamic range signal measurement in machine condition monitoring applications. Through Gb Ethernet communication, data can be transmitted to the central site quickly. Dual Ethernet ports enable daisy-chain connections that reduce the cost of network equipment and extend the communication distance. # Monitoring of Distributed Machines Monitoring the condition of machines in the field with compressors, vacuum pumps, motors, bearings, and generators is key to keeping factories up and running smoothy. Traditionally, operators would visit remote machines periodically to perform inspections. However, by the time an abnormality was detected, the machine may have already suffered extensive damage. In order to provide constant machine monitoring, a DAQ system composed of an embedded system plus a DAQ card can deployed at each remote machine site. However, when remote machines are numerous and spread out geographically, the deployment of DAQ systems at each site becomes prohibitive. The MCM-204 is a standalone Ethernet DAQ system that is designed specifically to perform the tasks of a DAQ system without requiring a complicated embedded system. # Data Filtering at the Edge The signals acquired by sensors are raw data that must be filtered and converted into usable data such as FFT, voltage, g-type array, or OA values. The MCM-204 standalone DAQ system can be deployed at each field site and perform the task of filtering raw data that was traditionally done by an embedded system. By converting and transmitting filtered, size-reduced data from the edge to the central site, network load and processing demands on backend servers are reduced dramatically. # Customized Filtering Algorithms The MCM-204 offers flexible support options for custom filtering algorithms written in C/C++ and compiled under Linux. These valuable and confidential algorithms can be imported through a web console. The MCM-204 thus enables the migration of user-defined filtering algorithms to the edge in a cost-effective manner. # Built-in Web Console The MCM-204's built-in web console allows configuration via web browser to make it easy to get started with machine condition monitoring and eliminate the need for application specific programming. Settings for relevant parameters and data types are presented in an intuitive dashboard format. The MCM-204 makes it quick and easy to set up a machine condition monitoring environment. # SDK ADLINK provides a Streaming SDK and RESTful API to assist users with integrating the MCM-204 into their system. ● Streaming SDK (with C/C++ sample code) ● RESTful API in C#, Python, and JavaScript # Ordering Information ● MCM-204 Standalone Ethernet DAQ with 4-ch AI, 24-bit, 128kS/s, 4-ch DI/O # Optional Accessories .
