Plant condition monitoring
19 February 2015
ifm electronic’s VSE100 allows anyone to monitor machine condition at any time, from anywhere.
According to ifm, there are as many reasons why vibration monitoring with the VSE100 is useful to any industry as there are reasons to look at condition monitoring. It allows better deployment of personnel and better maintenance because it can be planned. It stops assets failing badly, improves life cost of assets and cuts downtime.
The VSE system design specification can offer permanent monitoring at a low cost and can be used by any technician or engineer. The VSE can be networked with standard off the shelf products while the actual vibration data is processed close to the point of measurement. One single VSE100 can monitor multiple points with one unit and offers integrated history to provide trending analysis.
The VSE100 will integrate into any control system or automation set-up or connect to telemetry at a cost in the region of hundreds of pounds per asset rather than thousands, and the software is free of charge.
