Smart Sensors for Improved Machinery Monitoring and Protection Smart Vibration Sensors Programmable sensors utilizing microprocessor technology and application specific algorithms Selectable measurement parameters Polarity independent Hazardous area approvals Hermetically sealed Increases monitoring reliability Motors, pumps and compressors Reciprocating machinery Cooling towers, fans and gearboxes Wind turbines Most industrial machinery exhibit a measurable warning sign that a fault, such as a worn bearing, cracked gear, loss of lubrication, or an unbalance condition is developing. Continuous vibration monitoring of critical machinery is widely regarded as an effective means of detecting such faults before a failure occurs. IMI Smart Vibration Sensors combine traditional vibration sensors, specialized circuitry, advanced microprocessor technology, and targeted algorithms to provide useful, accurate, and timely information regarding a machine’s health. IMI Smart Vibration Sensors are USB programmable (using an optional USB Programmer) and have 2-pin polarity independent connections. The transmitters are 2-wire, loop-powered and are completely compatible with most existing plant monitoring systems such as PLC, DCS, or other Plant Information systems that accept a 4-20 mA input. Explosion proof, CSA, and ATEX approvals for use in hazardous areas are available for some models.
