Module and sensor

The 2-channel vibration and roller-bearing monitoring module tracks machine-vibration conditions. The 750-645 VIB-I/O's channels monitor and analyze vibration severity and shock pulse feedback using the co.'s 750-925 Tandem-Piezo® acceleration sensor. Mechanical shock-pulse process data is transmitted to superior control systems (e.g., manufacturing execution system) via fieldbus. The resulting analysis provides the basis for an anticipatory maintenance schedule. This ensures component replacement only when necessary, avoiding unforeseen downtime. In the event of excessive vibration, the 750-645 VIB-I/O can enact a shutdown, preventing further damage.
