This chapter provides an overview and general requirements for installing the
MACHsense-R DAU .

MACHsense-R overview

The MACHsense-R is a remote condition-monitoring service for motors and
generators. The service consists of the monitoring hardware, referred to as Data
Acquisition Unit (DAU), which is installed on the site. See the process overview
shown in the below Process overview diagram (page 20). The built-in software
within the DAU analyzes the input data collected from different sensors, e.g.,
vibration or temperature. The DAU then transmits the processed data to the ABB
web server, where the engineer can prepare and display the report on a web
front-end for the customer to view.
