Fieldbus & Industrial Networking


Data harvester for mobile machinery

Africa Automation Fair 2019 Preview Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

The IDX Nexus Data Harvester connects disparate systems on heavy mobile machinery and other high value assets, allowing the sharing of real-time data between onboard systems. On show at Stand D20, it is compatible with common protocols such as Modbus, CAN, J1939, OPC and ASCII. Machine data can be logged locally or transferred in real time to a remote server for use in real-time data systems, or it can be stored for trending and analysis.
