A flexible monitoring system and corresponding methods of use are provided. The system can include a base containing backplane, and one or more monitoring circuits. The monitoring circuits can be designed with a common architecture that is programmable to perform different predetermined functions. As a result, monitoring circuits can be shared between different implementations of the flexible monitoring system. Multiple bases that can be communicatively coupled in a manner that establishes a common backplane between respective bases that is formed from the individual backplanes of each base. Each monitoring circuit is not limited to sending data to and/or receiving data from the backplane to which it is physically coupled but can instead can communicate along the common backplane. Computational processing capacity can be increased or decreased independently of input signals received by addition or removal of processing circuits from the monitoring system.

Systems, methods, and devices for monitoring operation of industrial equipment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a monitoring system is provided that includes a passive backplane and one more functional circuits that can couple to the backplane. Each of the functional circuits that are coupled to the backplane can have access to all data that is delivered to the backplane. Therefore, resources (e.g., computing power, or other functionality) from each functional circuits can be shared by all active functional circuits that are coupled to the backplane. Because resources from each of the functional circuits can be shared, and because the functional circuits can be detachably coupled to the backplane, performance of the monitoring systems can be tailored to specific applications. For example, processing power can be increased by coupling additional processing circuits to the backplane.

The circuits can be designed with a common architecture that is programmable to perform different predetermined functions, such as input, output, and processing. By separating functions of the flexible monitoring system into different circuits, new implementations of the flexible monitoring system can be rapidly developed by arranging already created components in different combinations. Multiple bases can also be communicatively coupled in a manner that establishes a common backplane between respective bases. Accordingly, implementations of the flexible monitoring system distribute combinations of circuits across different bases, providing flexible deployment options.
