MDC - Machine Data Connector

The "Machine Data Connector" (MDC) is a data logging system which was developed with the aim of collecting data from the machine and making it available in the cloud. The MDC is designed as a stand-alone system which manages all the required part systems internally. In order to ensure the proper operation of the MDC, the following components must be connected.

• 24V power supply
• M12-D plug or
• CAN connection as a data source
• GSM - antenna
• GPS - rear antenna

Addititonally the MDC provides the following interfaces:

• Ethernet Interface: Data IN
• 2x CAN-interface - D-Sub 9: 1x CAN IN/OUT, 1x CAN IN
• USB-Mini: For service and maintenance of the MDC

The MDC has an internal memory of 8 GB and can, therefore, save data temporarily if there is no GSM connection available. ´Depending on the data volume of the machine, data can be stored there for a period of several weeks. If a GSM connection is established, the stored data is automatically loaded into the cloud. The MDC is installed in an aluminium housing. The housing is designed for installation in a control cabinet.
