Based on the ISM® platform, which combines all of the know-how that MR has accumulated over the decades, manufacturers can easily integrate any sensors or software. All available data thus flow together via fiber optics into the central ISM® computing unit, where they are evaluated and assessed by means of algorithms. Depending on requirements, six different software modules are available, and the computing center, sensors, connections and cabling are all integrated in the control cabinet, thereby avoiding the need for several separate control cabinets and enabling the retrofit of additional modular functions. The ISM® platform thus creates the basis for networked transformers.
