Adlink Technology MCM-216 and MCM-218 Ethernet DAQ devices

Adlink Technology has added the MCM-216 and MCM-218 models to its MCM-210 standalone Ethernet DAQ series. MCM-216/218 Ethernet DAQ, based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors with built-in 16 or eight channels, provide voltage or current input and can function as a standalone edge device without a host PC. The standalone Ethernet DAQ supports edge computing and includes a built-in web console and RESTful API for periodic machine condition polling.

The models are said to represent a simple, scalable, sustainable edge device to overcome the challenge of mass deployment in IIoT applications. Dual daisy-chainable Ethernet ports eliminate additional networking equipment and extend the usable distance, reducing TCO and boosting overall ROI. Successful applications include semiconductor factory digitisation, petrochemical plant monitoring and wafer feeder vacuum pump monitoring.
