1.1 System Overview
MW100 Data Acquisition Unit
The MW100 Data Acquisition Unit consists of a main module equipped with an Ethernet
port, I/O modules for input and output of signals (these are the same as those for the
MX100 Data Acquisition Unit), and a base plate on which the first two items are mounted.
The main module comes with an HTTP server function, allowing users to easily enter
settings, acquire data, and monitor measured data from a PC using a browser. The
main module also comes with a Modbus/TCP function that allows multiple units to be
connected.
System Configuration
The MW100 Data Acquisition Unit can be flexibly configured for a variety of measuring
environments such as a small-scale system that acquires data onsite in a standalone
configuration or a system that allows data acquisition of up to 360 channels using the
Modbus/TCP function.
One-to-one Connection with a PC
This is an example of a system for small scale logging, setting the IP address, and other
tasks.
