The new VV vibration sensor from ifm electronic, a specialist in industrial sensors and automation solutions, enables simple integration of a vibration sensor using IO-Link. It is easily connected via IO-Link (or TOR) to a PLC and/or supervisory system, eliminating the need for costly gateways and IT supports.
Using simple indicators, the VV continuously monitors and diagnoses common faults (such as unbalance, defective bearings, shocks, etc.) in fans, motors, centrifugal pumps, etc. Even raw data from vibration signals can be transmitted to higher-level systems for expert analysis or AI.
According to ifm, this improves maintenance because, unlike periodic monitoring systems, equipment is continuously monitored and production stoppages due to major breakdowns or even failures are effectively avoided.
Finally, IO-Link eliminates the need for a control cabinet and complex wiring.
