Optimum condition and process monitoring

For the evaluation of dynamic signals such as acceleration as well as analogue signals, ifm electronic's proven 6-channel VSE type diagnostic systems have an industrial Ethernet interface to exchange data directly with a PLC.

Signals from the connected sensors are continuously processed in the VSE15x modules to calculate the characteristic values for machine condition monitoring that are defined in a parameter set.

Deterioration in quality is recognised early - avoiding rejects and expensive damage. Using the fieldbus connection measured values can be directly indicated in the PLC and monitoring can be perfectly adapted to the operating states and processes of the machine.

Auxiliary parameters of condition monitoring such as rotational speed, trigger for operating states and non time-critical alarms can be directly transmitted via the fieldbus and no longer need to be exchanged via hard-wired analogue and digital signals. This not only reduces wiring complexity but also saves the cost of providing the corresponding inputs/outputs on the PLC. Find out more by visiting ifm electronic’s stand 85 at WWEM
