Predator MDC: Manufacturing Data Collection & Machine Monitoring

Adapters


Predator MDC™ - Monitor your shop floor and improve productivity

Predator MDC Adapters™ provide automatic input to the Predator MDC system from CNC machines or factory equipment. Input to the MDC Adapter comes from either digital or analog signals and then is sent to Predator MDC via RS232 or RS485 messages. Traditionally this could also be done via a PLC but often a PLC is overkill for data collection.
