Cummins^® Engine & Generator Remote Monitoring Systems

Reliable Monitoring Solutions for Cummins Engines & Generator Sets

Monico Monitoring offers powerful, pre-engineered solutions for Cummins® engine monitoring through our flagship mCore® SDR, designed to support a wide range of Cummins® equipment — from legacy gensets to supported 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, mCore® SDR enables 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

The mCore® SDR is designed for maximum interoperability:

• Supports multiple 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 mCore® SDR 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. The mCore® SDR’s web-based user interface — accessible from any computer with an Ethernet connection, with no software installation required — provides a simple way to view live data, customize configurations, run diagnostics, and manage port assignments.

Monitoring Older Cummins Equipment (Modlon Gateway Integration)

For older Cummins® engines and generator sets that use the Modlon Gateway, Monico’s mCore® SDR 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 mCore® SDR can poll all of them simultaneously, consolidating the resulting data into a unified data map for integration with remote monitoring or control systems.

Monitoring Newer Cummins Units (Direct PCC Communication)

For Cummins® units using supported PCC 1x, 2x, or 3x controllers, the mCore® SDR connects directly to the controller via RS-485 using Modbus RTU. From there, the device 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)

Data can be consolidated into a unified data map and routed to the monitoring, control, or visualization system required by the application.
