Gateway Molecu / Portal Molecu

The Central Coordination Hub for Your Molecu Wireless Sensor Network

The Gateway is the central communication and data acquisition hub for the Molecu Wireless Vibration System. It simplifies wireless measurements by automatically managing communication between sensors and the PC - configuring the sensor network, coordinating communication and transferring acquired data to a connected PC.

The Gateway is available in two versions: 3-channel or 7-channel, with each channel supporting one Molecu accelerometer that measures acceleration in three directions.

Key features

Advanced vibration measurements made easier

Designed for wireless vibration measurements, the Molecu Gateway helps users to seamlessly acquire acceleration data from structures, machinery and vehicles, without the need for long sensor cables or large system configurations. During measurement, the Gateway communicates wirelessly with the system’s triaxial accelerometers to provide non-continuous real-time data for qualitiative assessment of the wirelss connection or measurement overflow or pre-scheduled data logging depending on your testing needs. Once captured, the measurement data is transferred from the Gateway to a connected PC over a dedicated Ethernet connection.

Typical applications

• Wireless vibration measurement on structures, machinery and systems where cabling is difficult, time-consuming or impractical
• Structural monitoring
• Troubleshooting and test campaigns requiring fast sensor deployment
• R&D measurements in limited time or difficult locations
• Condition monitoring setups where multiple measurement points are required

A portable and flexible sensor network

As the link between the individual measurement points and your connected PC – transmitting both configuration and measurement data through its channels – the Gateway is an integral part of the Molecu Wireless Vibration System.

The entire system is completely portable and notably flexible, making measurements easier to perform in demanding environments and time-critical situations. Its open-source user interface and upgradeable firmware help to keep the system adaptable as requirements change and evolve.
