Product Information VDAU-6000 - 16-Channel Condition Monitoring System The VDAU-6000 family of monitoring systems is based on the 16-channel VDAU-6000 series of data acquisition and conditioning units, and includes the VDAU-6000 Condition Monitoring and Analysis series. These condition monitoring systems provide scalar condition monitoring functionality for reliable fault detection and trending for various types of rotating machines. The optional analyzer function - Diagnostic Workstation – includes a time signal data recorder and powerful software for post-processing online analysis. The versatile Monitoring Workstation condition monitoring user-interface software and database are the same as that used in Brüel & Kjær Vibro’s Compass condition monitoring systems. Features & Benefits • 16-channel parallel processing – no scanning or multiplexing. Up to 16 channels are simultaneously measured • Scalar condition monitoring functionality reduces diagnostic complexity while enabling early fault detection and identification • The optional Diagnostic Workstation provides event recorder and analyzer functionality as a permanent online installation • VDAU-6000 uses Monitoring Workstation, a versatile condition monitoring server platform together with its user friendly interface • Minimal user setup with a wide range of pre-configured measurements readily available • The VDAU-6000 hardware units are compact and can be installed as a field monitor or in a cabinet (ATEX Zone II approved) • Adaptive monitoring strategies enable machines at different speeds and loads to be monitored without false alarms Figure 1 VDAU-6000 can be used in many different applications.

VDAU-6000 System Applications There are many machines in industrial plants that are being monitored only by safety systems, yet they play an important role in the plant’s productivity. These systems can adequately protect the machines but provide no information on their current condition or the early development of faults. The VDAU 6000 uses the vibration VDAU-6000 signals from the buffered outputs of these safety systems and provides a comprehensive scalar condition s monitoring strategy that rivals even that provided by more costly rack based systems. rack-based Due to the high-channel...

VDAU-6000 System Configuration The VDAU-6000 is a networked system consisting of the following: • VDAU-6000 monitors (several can be connected to a server) several • Condition monitoring server with database and the Monitoring W orkstation software Workstation • Diagnostic Workstation Analyzer (optional) Figure 4. VDAU-6000 system configuration. 6000 A wide range of sensors can be used as inputs for the 16 input channels: • • • • Accelerometers Displacement sensors Process sensors Digital inputs There are up to 16 pre-defined measurements tasks for each channel, thus minimizing the user...

VDAU-6000 System Components The VDAU-6000 hardware acquires scalar vibration data, process parameters and raw time signals (waveforms), and exports these to a remote condition monitoring system server and database for storage, trending, early fault detection and alarming. The VDAU-6000 units can be installed in an enclosure close to the machines as a field monitor (ATEX compliant), or can import vibration signals from buffered outputs of an existing safety system located in an instrument cabinet.
