Reliable Monitoring Solutions for Cummins Engines & Generator Sets

Monico Monitoring offers powerful, pre-engineered solutions for Cummins® engine monitoring through our mCoreSDR Gateway, as well as our Custom Protocol Converter (CPC Gateway) and J1939 Gateway, all designed specifically to support the full range of Cummins® equipment, from legacy gensets to the latest PCC-controlled units.

Through close collaboration with Cummins® dealers and field deployments, we’ve developed robust integration capabilities that support both Modlon Gateway connections and direct controller communication via Modbus RTU. Whether your equipment is built around older infrastructure or modern control systems, Monico’s Gateways enable seamless data collection and protocol conversion across multiple industrial applications.

  • Remote monitoring
  • Real-time diagnostics
  • Preventive maintenance
  • Alarm-based alerting
  • Integration with SCADA, PI, or cloud-based platforms

Flexible, Multi-Protocol Support

Monico’s CPC Gateway is designed for maximum interoperability:

  • Communicates in up to 9 protocols simultaneously
  • Supports over 100 industrial protocols
  • Outputs data in Modbus, Bacnet, Allen-Bradley, and more
  • Collects data from switchgear and ancillary equipment
  • Supports both ModLon and native Modbus RTU communication
  • Consolidates all input data into a single, unified data map

This flexibility allows a single Gateway to act as a complete integration hub—translating Cummins engine data and additional site metrics into usable formats for SCADA, PLC systems, or building automation platforms.

Every Cummins monitoring system from Monico is delivered pre-configured for your specific equipment, minimizing setup time and eliminating field programming. Our exclusive MonicoView II software, included with every Gateway, provides a simple interface for customization, diagnostics, and port configuration.

Monitoring Older Cummins Equipment (Modlon Gateway Integration)

For older Cummins® engines and generator sets that use the Modlon Gateway, Monico’s CPC Gateway attaches directly via Modbus or native connections. Our pre-programmed templates extract critical operational and maintenance data, which can then be output in one or more protocols, including:

  • Bacnet (for building management systems)
  • Modbus RTU/TCP
  • Allen-Bradley Ethernet/IP
  • And many others

Each Modlon Gateway can support up to five engines, and the CPC Gateway can poll all of them simultaneously, depositing the resulting data into a centralized database for remote monitoring or control logic.

Monitoring Newer Cummins Units (Direct PCC Communication)

For modern Cummins® units using PCC 1x, 2x, or 3x controllers, Monico’s Gateway connects directly via RS-485 to the controller and reads Modbus RTU over the 232 port. From there, the Gateway can output data in any supported protocol, allowing easy integration into a broader monitoring or automation ecosystem.

This direct-read approach enables fast access to:

  • Engine performance metrics
  • Status and alarms
  • Maintenance schedules
  • Custom ancillary device data (e.g., switchgear, load banks)

All data is compiled into a central database, offering a unified, real-time view of your Cummins-powered assets.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Cummins engines can I monitor through one system?

A single Modlon Gateway supports up to five Cummins engines. Our CPC Gateway can poll all of them, plus switchgear and other devices, and consolidate the data into a single output for control or monitoring systems.

Can I view my Cummins data remotely?

Yes. Our Gateways integrate with MonicoLive for secure remote access and visualization. Alternatively, data can be routed into your SCADA, PI System, or other visualization tools.

What protocols are supported by Monico’s Gateway?

We support over 100 protocols, including Modbus RTU/TCP, Bacnet, Allen-Bradley Ethernet/IP, DNP3, and more. Up to nine protocols can run simultaneously on a single device.

Do I need to program the Gateway myself?

No. All Gateways are shipped pre-configured based on your application. Any needed customization can be done through MonicoView II, a user-friendly interface included at no extra cost.
