ADLINK completes MCM-210 series with new MCM-216/218 edge DAQ solution for test & measurement and condition monitoring

Standalone edge device permits mass deployment of IIoT applications

Summary:
● The MCM-216/218 ultra-compact edge DAQ solution for voltage and current measurement can function as a standalone edge device without a host PC.
● Based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors with built-in 16 or 8 channel, 16-bit, analog voltage or current input, MCM-216/218 is well-suited for 24-hour sensor measurement and condition monitoring IIoT applications.
● MCM-216/218 supports distributed and remote data acquisition, edge analytics, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)

Taipei, Taiwan — July 15, 2021

ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, added MCM-216 and MCM-218 models to the MCM-210 standalone Ethernet DAQ series. MCM-216/218 Ethernet DAQ, based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors with built-in 16 or 8 channel, 16-bit, 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.

“These two new models complete the ADLINK Edge DAQ series, which represents a new generation DAQ solution in the market,” said Jeremy Wu, Director of IoT Solutions & Technology (IST) business unit, ADLINK. “These ultra-compact new models are ideally suited for 24-hour sensor measurement and condition monitoring Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications.”

The MCM-216 and MCM-218 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 digitization, petrochemical plant monitoring, and wafer feeder vacuum pump monitoring.

The standalone Ethernet DAQ system can perform the tasks of a DAQ system without the complexity and added cost of an embedded system.
● Distributed and remote acquisition without distance restriction
● Converts data to information for edge analytics
● Rich connectivity for easier data transfer to a backend server or SCADA

The MCM-216 /218 models complete the MCM-200 series and provide a full-spectrum edge DAQ solution for factory automation, IIoT, and traditional testing and measurement. The simple, scalable edge device overcomes the challenge of mass deployment for IIoT applications.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
