Kohler® Generator Remote Monitoring Systems
Seamless Monitoring Systems for Kohler® Gensets, On-Site or Remote
Monico Monitoring delivers purpose-built solutions for Kohler® generator monitoring, enabling on-site diagnostics and integration with remote monitoring systems for access to critical performance data. Whether you’re using Kohler® gensets in government facilities, commercial buildings, or industrial operations, our flagship mCore® SDR provides reliable communication, flexible data output, and easy integration into SCADA, BMS, or cloud-based platforms.
By supporting Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU, the mCore® SDR makes it simple to collect, log, and analyze generator performance in real time — improving uptime, streamlining maintenance, and ensuring readiness when backup power is needed most.
- Support for Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocols
- Converts Kohler® data into 100+ industrial protocols
- Web-based user interface for local and network access, with no additional software required
- Reliable, high-speed Modbus data communication
- Multiple simultaneous inputs and outputs for flexible integration
- Compatible with Decision-Maker 3000 (DEC 3000) and similar controllers
Built for Flexibility & Seamless Integration
The mCore® SDR is ideal for integrating Kohler® generators into broader operational systems. With support for multiple simultaneously active protocols and conversion of supported standard and proprietary data points, the mCore® SDR acts as a central integration point — translating Kohler® genset data into formats your systems already understand.
Typical integrations include:
- Building Management Systems (BMS)
- SCADA platforms
- AVEVA® PI System
- Cloud-based monitoring (MonicoLive™, Azure, AWS IoT, MQTT brokers)
- Remote fleet dashboards
Advanced capabilities built in:
- Web-accessible UI via any modern browser — no software installation required
- Real-time data logging with onboard data buffering to help reduce the risk of data loss during inconsistent or interrupted network connections
- Configurable alarms, output triggers, and event-based actions
- Edge analytics computing — up to 7 billion calculations per second
- Industrial cybersecurity with SSL/TLS, data encryption, and security certificates
One of the most valuable features of the mCore® SDR is its browser-based user interface, which allows users to access live genset data through a modern web browser without additional software installation. For applications requiring remote monitoring, mCore® SDR can integrate with MonicoLive™ or other supported monitoring platforms to provide access to generator data beyond the local network.
Real-World Testing, Proven Results
At Monico HQ, we have a Kohler® 40REZG (40 kW) generator with a DEC 3000 controller used for testing, backup power, and client demonstrations. This hands-on environment allows us to develop, test, and fine-tune monitoring and integration solutions using real Kohler® hardware — helping ensure our solutions perform reliably in field applications.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Kohler® generator models can the mCore® SDR monitor?
The mCore® SDR supports Kohler® industrial gensets that communicate via Modbus TCP or RTU, including models equipped with Decision-Maker 3000 (DEC 3000) controllers and similar systems. Additional controller support is available on request.
Can I monitor multiple Kohler gensets with one mCore® SDR?
Yes. Depending on your system architecture and controller setup, a single mCore® SDR can collect data from multiple generators or from the generator and ancillary systems like transfer switches or load banks.
Is the mCore® SDR pre-configured for Kohler® equipment?
Yes. Every mCore® SDR is shipped pre-configured for your specific Kohler® genset and application, minimizing field configuration and setup. Once connected to the asset, power, and the required network, data can begin flowing.
How is data from a Kohler generator accessed and used?
The mCore® SDR collects data over Modbus and converts it into formats like Modbus TCP, BACnet, OPC UA, SNMP, MQTT, and more. This allows integration with SCADA, BMS, or remote dashboards. Data can also be logged locally with onboard buffering or pushed to cloud platforms including MonicoLive™, Azure, and AWS IoT.
Do you offer remote access capabilities?
es. The mCore® SDR includes a web-based user interface for direct access to live data and device configuration without additional software installation. For remote monitoring applications, mCore® SDR can integrate with MonicoLive™ or other supported monitoring platforms to provide secure access to generator data from remote locations.
