First Claim
Patent Images
1. A monitoring system comprising:
- at least one transducer configured to monitor an operating condition of at least one machine;
a first backplane configured to be coupled to said at least one transducer;
a second backplane configured to be coupled to said first backplane;
at least one transducer monitoring module configured to be coupled to said second backplane, said at least one transducer monitoring module further configured to process at least one signal received from said at least one transducer; and
a power supply module configured to couple to said second backplane, wherein said second backplane further comprises a power input bus configured to couple to said power supply module and to said first backplane, said power supply module further configured to provide power to said at least one transducer and to said at least one transducer monitoring module.

Abstract
A first backplane for being electrically coupled to a second backplane, a system monitoring module, and at least one transducer monitoring module includes a system interface bus configured to be coupled to the system monitoring module and the second backplane. The intermediate backplane also includes at least one monitor interface bus configured to be coupled to the at least one transducer monitoring module and the second backplane and an intermediate backplane bus configured to be coupled to the at least one transducer monitoring module and the system monitoring module.
