What is required to use moneo

Technical requirements and information – moneo

Using moneo on-premises
(local installation)

The moneo software can be operated on various terminal devices and in a virtual environment. On the one hand, ifm offers the preconfigured moneo appliance hardware (QHA210 and QHA300) or the moneo vAppliance virtual machine (QVA200) on which the moneo software is pre-installed. On the other hand, moneo is available as software-only solution for installation in a Windows environment.

To use the moneo software modules, it is necessary to purchase the corresponding licenses. Depending on the computing power you provide, the following performance values can be expected from your moneo installation:

Performance class	Platform	Infopoints (data flow rate (values/sec.))	Calculated values (calc. values/sec.)	Number of navigation nodes	Number of smart limits	Max. number of connected IP devices
S ^{Number of CPU cores 4, CPU clock rate [GHz] 2.3, RAM [GB] 8}	Windows installer	2,500	100	3,500	5	125
	moneo vAppliance QVA200^1.)	2,500	100	3,500	5	125
L ^{Number of CPU cores 8, CPU clock rate [GHz] 3.0, RAM [GB] 32}	Windows installer	10,000	300	12,500	50	500
	moneo vAppliance QVA200^1.)	10,000	300	12,500	50	500

If you opt for moneo on a moneo appliance incl. the management interface AMS (Appliance Management System), you can expect the following performance values from the systems depending on the moneo appliance version you choose:

Article number	Product	Infopoints (data flow rate (values/sec.))	Calculated values (calc. values/sec.)	Number of navigation nodes	Number of smart limits	Max. number of connected IP devices
QHA210^1.)	moneo appliance	1,250	25	3,500	0	60
QHA300^1.)	moneo appliance	2,500	50	3,500	5	125

Using moneo in the cloud

The data is transferred to the moneo Cloud via so-called edge devices. These devices are integrated in your network, they detect sensor data and send these to the moneo Cloud. Depending on the device type, they offer different functions and features.

Article number	Product	Data flow rate (values/sec.)	Calculated values (calc. values/sec.)	Number of navigation nodes	Max. number of connected field devices	Data flow – interval options	Data flow –aggregation options	Parameter setting of connected sensors via the moneo Cloud	Remote maintenance using moneo remoteConnect
AE2100^1.)	IIoT edgeGateway IP20	500	20	20	25	Basic (60 s) = 1 infopoint Medium (10 s) = 6 infopoints Fast (1 s) = 60 infopoints	Last value Min Max Average	Possible	Possible (after manual activation)
AE2400^1.)	IIoT edgeGateway IP67	500	20	20	25	Basic (60 s) = 1 infopoint Medium (10 s) = 6 infopoints Fast (1 s) = 60 infopoints	Last value Min Max Average	Possible	Possible (after manual activation)
AIK050^1.)	io-key Cellular IoT Gateway	IO-Link sensors can be directly connected to the two available IO-Link ports. *Depending on the selected data tariff, the last value is transmitted to the cloud every 10 or every 60 seconds.				Basic (60 s) = 1 infopoint* Medium (10 s) = 6 infopoints*	Last value	Possible	Not possible

Please note:

Compatibility of moneo and ifm IO-Link masters

moneo is compatible with all ifm IO-Link masters that communicate via MQTT/JSON. First generation IO-Link masters (firmware version V1.n.n) are not supported, but they can be updated to a newer version with a software update.

The following series are supported:

DataLine series firmware version V2.0.n and higher
CabinetLine series firmware version V2.0.n and higher
StandardLine series firmware version V2.1.n and higher
PerformanceLine series firmware version V3.0.n and higher

In the currently described use cases with moneo RTM, the IO-Link masters of the following series have been used

AL 13xx (DataLine)
AL19xx (CabinetLine)

The communication for moneo RTM and the IO-Link masters must take place via the master's IOT port.

The IO-Link masters of the AL11nn, AL12nn, AL14nn series, which are not equipped with a dedicated IoT port, can also be used for RTM appliations. Since these devices are not optimised for IOT applications, performance limitations may have to be expected.

In addition, it is possible to configure IO-Link devices via moneo configure with the ifm IO-Link masters E30390 and AL1060 which can be connected via the USB port. These masters are not intended for moneo RTM applications.
