Overview of the 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 to which the first two items are mounted.
The main module comes with a HTTP server function, allowing users to easily enter
settings and monitor measured data from a PC using a browser. The MW100 can be
used for data acquisition on site as a standalone, enabling data acquisition on up to 360
channels using the Modbus TCP or RTU function.
The MW100 Data Acquisition Unit can be flexibly configured for a variety of measuring
environments.
