The IAC 1034 Intelligent Machinery Diagnostic System (iMDS) delivers
the world’s most capable real-time machinery diagnostic system in a rugged, 19” rack mount enclosure
specifically designed for use in harsh industrial environments. The IAC 1034 is part of a growing family of
adaptable and interchangeable hardware and software machinery diagnostic products offered by IAC. The
Windows® compatible iMDS-PC analysis software is included with your purchase of the IAC
1034. Available options include the IAC 1047 iMDS-Server, the iMDS Database Setup Tool and the iMDS
Matlab® Development Toolbox.
The fully programmable IAC 1034 includes a robust library of machinery fault detection algorithms for
general purpose machinery diagnostics and specialized prognostic tools for gas turbine health monitoring. A
web server is included allowing users to connect with the IAC 1034 from anywhere in the world using a standard
web browser. The IAC 1034 is currently used in turbine engine test cells, remote monitoring for co-generation
power plants and general purpose machinery diagnostic applications. IAC 1034 diagnostic algorithms
automatically analyze acquired data and provide a comprehensive indication of machine health including
engines, drive shafts, gearboxes, bearings, pumps and generators.
The easy-to-use and easy-to-understand iMDS-PC analysis software is used to display data analysis and
corrective actions (if applicable) to the user. Load iMDS-PC software on any portable PC and connect directly
to the IAC 1034 for at-machine diagnostics and data analysis. Connect to other IAC 1034 systems over the
internet to remotely diagnose and manage multiple machines. Machine and component status, recommended
maintenance actions, machine to machine or factory to factory trending and many more powerful analysis tools
are included with the iMDS-PC software.
IAC’s advanced anomaly detection processing, available with the optional iMDS Server, helps the IAC
1034 to “learn” new machine fault modes over time by automatically screening incoming data for new or never
seen before events. This enables the development and deployment of new algorithms to detect these new events.

Busses Supported - Number and Type
The IAC 1034 is based on the PC-104 bus standard. Many expansion cards are available off the shelf allowing
the IAC 1034 to be rapidly configured for specific custom needs. The basic IAC 1034 utilizes two
RS232/RS422/ RS485 serial interfaces, two Universal Serial Bus interfaces and an Ethernet interface.

iMDS-PC Analysis Software Application (included)
The iMDS-PC Windows® compatible analysis software program
receives measured data from the IAC 1034, stores this data into a
database, then analyzes this data to produce easy-to-understand
corrective actions for maintenance personnel. The iMDS-PC software
can also act as a simple mechanism to collect and transfer
data from the field to a centralized web server. This provides users
with remote monitoring, trending, data analysis and automatic
software upgrades for the IAC 1034.

Web Server Interface
Built in web server capability allows real-time display of selected
vibration data and machine conditions indicators. The IAC 1034
can be configured to be a part of your local area network or as a
remote network accessed over the web.
