Dave Edstrom, CTO of MEMEX Inc., author of “MTConnect: To Measure Is To Know”, as well as former President and Chairman of the MTConnect Institute, stated, “There is no company on planet earth that is better positioned than MEMEX in terms of MTConnect enabling legacy machine tools and IIoT devices. The MTC-One is our third generation of MTConnect connectivity boards and clearly addresses ‘the last meter’ challenge, where MEMEX leaves no machine behind when it comes to legacy connectivity on the plant floor. The MTC-One truly is the ‘Swiss army knife’ of legacy connectivity solutions to connect to any device on the plant floor and then have that device MTConnect enabled.”
MEMEX’s new MTC-One has a number of leading edge features:
- Powerful ARM SOM microprocessor capable of running Linux,
MTConnect adapters, agents and other IIoT software such as Complex Event
Processing (CEP) as well countless other applications that might be
needed to connect to and process data from devices
- MTC-One features include NXP®/Freescale i.MX 6DualLite, ARM Cortex™-A9, 1.0 GHz, Dual Core, 512MB DDR3 (64 Bit), 4GB eMMC (8 Bit), two 10/100 Mbit IEEE1588 Ethernet ports
- Numerous Connectivity Options – Wireless (Wi-Fi b/g/n), up to 110 USB devices, 4 USB Host (Type A) connectors, USB (Micro A-B connector) diagnostic port, 8 onboard digital inputs (this provides optical isolation between the MTC-One and the device being monitored, which allows the MTC-One and the device to be electrically isolated), 2 onboard digital outputs and analog I/O Interfaces, as well as onboard Fieldbus/Industrial Ethernet Protocol Interface
- Wide variety of option sensors ranging from power monitoring, 8 channel ADC, thermocouple, accelerometer, RH sensor, digital input, DIO and others are on the MTC-One roadmap
- Industrial quality with onboard real-time clock with battery backup, graceful shutdown circuitry to prevent data loss, high voltage surge protection, Micro SD Card Slot and DVI-I display connector which can also convert to HDMI for connecting to shop displays
- Flexible installation choices with either magnetic, screw or din rail mount and can take 6-27 VDC as its power input
