🛡️ Protection Architecture

Alarm Management: Configure independent alert and danger setpoints for each monitoring channel. When vibration or position exceeds programmed thresholds, relay contacts change state to trigger visual alarms, audible warnings, or automated shutdown sequences.

Fail-Safe Design: Relay contacts default to the safe state during power loss or module failure, ensuring machinery protection even when monitoring electronics are compromised. This design philosophy prevents undetected failures from creating hazardous operating conditions.

Dual-Channel Logic: Monitor two separate parameters simultaneously—such as radial vibration on X and Y axes, or combine vibration with thrust position monitoring. Independent relay outputs enable customized response strategies for different fault conditions.

🔌 Integration Scenarios

Emergency Shutdown Systems: Interface directly with safety PLCs, emergency stop circuits, and turbine trip systems. The relay contacts provide galvanic isolation between monitoring circuits and high-power control systems.

Annunciator Panels: Drive traditional alarm panels with lamp test capability, horn circuits, and status indication. The Form C contacts support both normally-open and normally-closed wiring configurations.

DCS/SCADA Integration: Provide discrete inputs to distributed control systems for alarm logging, trend analysis, and automated response programming. Relay status changes generate time-stamped events for maintenance analysis.

💼 Real-World Applications

Power plants use this module to trip turbines when bearing vibration exceeds safe limits. Petrochemical facilities integrate it into emergency shutdown systems protecting compressors handling flammable gases. Manufacturing operations connect it to production line interlocks preventing damage to high-value workpieces when machine tool spindle vibration indicates bearing wear.

The module's robust relay contacts handle inductive loads from solenoid valves, motor starters, and electromagnetic brakes without requiring external suppression circuits—simplifying installation and improving long-term reliability.

🔧 Configuration Flexibility

Front-panel LED indicators display channel status, alarm conditions, and power status at a glance. Setpoint adjustment potentiometers allow field calibration without specialized tools or software. Removable terminal blocks enable pre-wiring before module installation, reducing commissioning time.
