Economical entry-level solution
Individual machines are particularly cost-effective to monitor with 6 or 12 channels. The number of channels can be increased if required.

Decentralized – directly on-site
VIBNODE is installed directly on the machine, does not require a PC and is integrated in the company data network (Ethernet, Modbus TCP, OPC).

Quick installation
Short cable lengths, robust connection technology and ready-made cables make VIBNODE quick to install.

Flexible measurement process
The recording of broadband overall values provides information on the overall condition of the machine. On the other hand, the selective monitoring of specific damage frequencies permits reliable fault diagnosis. For variable RPM, the frequency bands are tracked. The effect of interfering signals on the trend curve can be eliminated by skillful selection of the frequency bands.

Spectrum only for alarms
To keep data traffic low, machine signals are only saved for FFT or envelope analysis if an alarm occurs.

Prompt alarming
Maintenance personnel are informed independently of alarms via Ethernet, eMail or SMS when threshold values are exceeded

 

 

 

Simple and smart machine monitoring...


... or why do online monitoring systems
sometimes overlook machine problems?

 

 



Broadband monitoring
If the broadband response of blowers is monitored, the blade passing frequency is predominant over the smaller signals for unbalance and misalignment in the overall value trend. An increase in either of these signals does not immediately affect the trend curve and, consequently, these defects can be overlooked.

 



Selective monitoring
The selective monitoring of specific frequency ranges enables the elimination of disruptive noise signals. If the machine signal from the example above is monitored in two separate bands, any change in the broad band immediately becomes visible as an increase in the trend curve (below).

Up to 12 bands per spectrum can be set with VIBNODE.
