Designed & Made in the USA Since 1983
Command Mobile Module connector for Fowler, Sylvac, and other gages that use the Simplex Opto SPC cable (54-115-333). Enables automated, bi-directional wireless gage data collection — readings are triggered remotely from the MobileCollect Base Receiver or your SPC software. Compatible with multiple gage brands that share the Simplex Opto interface standard.

The DC Wireless Connector for Simplex Opto gages is the hardware link between your Fowler, Sylvac, or other Simplex Opto-equipped instrument and the MobileCollect Wireless automated measurement collection system. Unlike the Mini Mobile Module EVO (M3E), the Command Mobile Module enables bi-directional wireless communication — readings are commanded remotely by the MobileCollect Base Receiver or your SPC software. No button press, no operator touchpoint at the gage required.
With the Command Mobile Module, the read cycle is controlled upstream. Read commands are issued by your SPC software via serial output to the Base Receiver, or triggered by a foot switch, hand switch, or wireless remote switch connected to the Base. The Base transmits the request wirelessly to the Command Mobile Module, which triggers the gage and immediately returns the measurement data — all without any operator action at the gage.
This architecture eliminates the human touchpoint in the measurement loop, directly reducing transcription error risk and supporting tighter SPC control limits. The Base can also request single or multiple readings per command cycle and issue sleep commands to extend battery life — all configurable from your host PC or application.
The Simplex Opto cable interface (54-115-333) is used across several gage manufacturers. If your gage uses this Simplex Opto connection — regardless of the brand — this DC connector is compatible. Instrument families commonly using this interface include:
For caliper applications, a 3.5″ cable length may be preferable — contact sales@microridge.com. Use the MobileCollect Selection Tool to verify your specific model.
MicroRidge also offers the 54-115-333 cable/connector for other systems in the MobileCollect and GageWay product families:
M3 Connector — Fowler Sylvac Simplex 54-115-33 — For the Mini Mobile Module EVO (M3E). The M3E is the compact transmitter for applications that only require operator-initiated reads at the gage. One-way wireless communication; smaller form factor than the DC.
OEM SPC RS-232 Cable — Fowler Sylvac Simplex 54-115-33 — For wired connections to the Digital Remote or GageWay interfaces. The Digital Remote provides two-way communication similar to the Command Mobile Module but over a wired connection — ideal for stationary measurement stations. Also compatible with all GageWay wired gage interfaces.
The Command Mobile Module (DC) supports both automated, remotely commanded reads and manual operator-initiated reads via its built-in read button — so it can do everything the M3E does, plus remote automation. The tradeoff is form factor: the DC is larger than the M3E to accommodate the higher-capacity battery required to sustain remote-triggered read cycles. If your application only requires operator-initiated reads at the gage and a compact transmitter profile is a priority, the Mini Mobile Module EVO (M3E) is the right transmitter for that use case.
MobileCollect is a brand-agnostic measurement collection platform — it doesn’t lock you into a single gage manufacturer. Whether your shop floor runs Mitutoyo calipers alongside Mahr micrometers, Starrett indicators, or Fowler height gages, MobileCollect connects them all into a single wireless SPC data network. This connector is one component in that system. To complete the automated wireless link, pair this connector with a Command Mobile Module transmitter (MC-MM-DC) and a MobileCollect Base Receiver.
