The IR Thermography System follows Cutsforth's standard InsightCM reference architecture: field devices (cameras and the cRIO controller) connect to an on-premise or cloud-hosted server running the InsightCM server application, which in turn makes data available to a web interface, a plant historian, and other connected business systems. For a detailed architecture diagram, refer to the Infrared Thermography Installation Planning Guide (EZDP-2152).
The following sections describe the recommended specifications for the InsightCM Server. InsightCM and SystemLink are incompatible and should be installed on separate servers.
Note
Cutsforth recommends using solid state drives to improve disk throughput.

A fast or gigabit Ethernet (100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps) local area network or business network connection is required between a PC/server running InsightCM and the data acquisition devices. It is also preferable for this PC/server to be connected through the network to the site data historian for ease of gathering process data.
