Innovating Automation With Balluff

Condition Monitoring Toolkit

Ballluff’s new condition monitoring toolkit (CMTK) provides an easy-to-implement solution for adding condition monitoring to existing machines and processes with an excellent cost-benefit ratio.
It provides continuous status information on connected machines. And it does all this completely independent of a cloud connection or machine control system.
And it now has UL approval for use in the US and Canada.  Version 1.2 also supports running software and programming languages such as Node-Red, Python and C++. There is also a Rest API for configuration and a web user interface for IO-Link configuration.
