VibroSmart VSV301
VibroSmart is a compact vibration protection and monitoring system for rotating machinery. It delivers advanced protection and monitoring for (critical) rotating machinery. The transmitter-based system is scalable which makes it suitable for both smaller and larger rotating machinery.
Any plant architecture
The transmitter-based system offers equal functions to a centralized system, but with a more flexible and cost-effective architecture.
Any application
Scalability allows multiple modules to be connected and modularity enables integration with other systems, making it suitable for both smaller and larger (critical) rotating machinery.
“Plant-wide advanced vibration protection and monitoring without compromising performance”
Design
VibroSmart VSV301 is designed to deliver state-of-the-art vibration monitoring and protection, compliant to industrial directives. It is ideally suited for industrial plants, which involve (critical) machinery with lower channel counts dispersed over large areas. The distributed architecture of the system negates the infrastructural demands of centralized rack-based systems.
In addition, the system can be integrated with VibroSight software, which enables detailed insights into the condition of rotating machinery and offers extensive analysis options.
Configurations
Applications
The VibroSmart architecture is designed to fit a wide range of applications. From a stand-alone unit for vibration protection and monitoring on balance of plant equipment, up to several connected units to build a complete multi-channel system for larger critical rotating machinery. Typical applications include:
■ Micro turbines
■ Compressors and pumps
■ Gas and steam turbines
■ Balance of plant equipment
Technical features
Extreme environments
The VibroSmart modules are designed to work in extreme harsh industrial environments characterized by explosive atmospheres, high temperatures and high mechanical stress.
Extensive alarm options
One module has four basic and two advanced logic functions which can be used to configure up to four alarms per processed output.
Low-cost installation
The VibroSmart modules can be mounted directly on the rotating machinery (DIN-rail), eliminating costly infrastructural requirements, such as (long) cabling.
