Introduction
System Overview
1 - 2 SKF Multilog On-Line System IMx-S
User Manual – Revision S
An IMx-S contains circuit boards that are static sensitive. Therefore, use
appropriate precautions to prevent ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) when handling circuit
boards.
Do NOT change DIP switch settings while the IMx-S unit is powered, as this may
cause damage and void the warranty.
Before powering the IMx-S unit, make sure that DIP switch settings are properly
set to match the recommendations for the connected sensors. Incorrect settings may
cause permanent damage to the IMx-S unit.
All externally provided equipment must be evaluated individually and approved
together with the IMx-S unit regarding EMC and safety requirements (CE and ETL).
Always consult SKF before using the external mains output.
System Overview
The IMx-S is a part of the SKF Multilog On-line System product range and is designed to
be used for a variety of condition monitoring applications. In conjunction with SKF
@ptitude Observer or Analyst software, the IMx-S provides a complete system for early
fault detection and prevention, automatic advice for correcting existing or impending
conditions and advanced condition-based maintenance to improve machine reliability,
availability and performance.

The picture above illustrates how IMx-S units are linked together in a network that is
connected via a LAN (it may also be a modem or GPRS router) to a SKF @ptitude
Observer Monitor or Analyst IMx Service. The @ptitude Observer Monitor or Analyst
IMx Service in turn can be connected to, for example, a LAN network making it possible
for several @ptitude Observer or Analyst clients to access it.
@ptitude Observer or Analyst clients can also be installed on the same computer as
@ptitude Observer Monitor or Analyst IMx Service login software. Through a general
interface, also known as ODBC (open database connectivity), it is possible to link
