The ESA system uses an InsightCM™ edge hardware device (cRIO) to acquire voltage and current signals at the field level. Processed data and extracted features are transmitted via TCP over an Ethernet network to the InsightCM™ server application, which provides data storage, trending, alarming, and data-viewer access. The server can be connected to the plant historian and to business-network users via HTTP.
NOTE:
InsightCM™ and SystemLink are incompatible and must be installed on separate servers.
The following table summarizes the minimum recommended server specifications. Cutsforth recommends using solid state drives (SSDs) to improve disk throughput and overall system performance.
