Flexible USB audio integration
Standard USB connection to audio devices such as microphones, headsets and external sound cards enables reliable data collection from commonly available hardware — without requiring specialized audio interfaces.
Why Audio Connector?
The Audio Connector allows machine operators and producers to determine the status of equipment based on its sound. You can make the sound data available on the Industrial Edge Databus so that other Industrial Edge apps can use it to analyze and generate further insights.
As part of the Connectivity Suite, the Audio Connector is compatible with other connectors and the Common Configurator and supports multiple standard USB audio input devices.
