🔌 Integration Architecture
DCS/PLC Connectivity: The 4-20 mA outputs interface directly with distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, and SCADA platforms—no custom programming required.
Multi-Point Monitoring: Sixteen channels mean you can monitor an entire machine train (bearings, thrust positions, differential expansion) through a single module, reducing hardware costs and simplifying wiring.
Signal Buffering: Inputs buffer proximitor signals without loading the measurement circuit, allowing simultaneous connection to protection systems and data historians without signal degradation.
⚡ Real-World Benefits
✓ Centralized Monitoring: Consolidate vibration data from multiple machines into your existing control room displays
✓ Alarm Integration: Trigger plant-wide alarms and automated responses based on machinery condition
✓ Trend Analysis: Feed continuous data to historians for long-term performance tracking and predictive analytics
✓ Reduced Wiring: High channel density cuts installation time and cable costs by 60% vs single-channel modules
✓ Hot-Swappable: Replace modules without shutting down the entire monitoring system
🏭 Deployment Scenarios
Power Plants: Monitor turbine-generator sets with 8-12 proximity probes per unit, feeding vibration and position data to plant DCS for operator awareness and automated trip logic.
Refineries: Track critical compressor trains across multiple process units, integrating machinery health into overall plant optimization strategies.
Manufacturing: Connect production line machinery to factory MES systems, enabling condition-based maintenance scheduling that minimizes unplanned downtime.
🛠️ Configuration Flexibility
Each channel can be independently configured for different signal ranges and engineering units. Built-in diagnostics detect open circuits, short circuits, and out-of-range conditions, reporting faults via dedicated status outputs. LED indicators provide instant visual confirmation of channel health and communication status.
📋 Compliance & Standards
Meets API 670 requirements for machinery protection systems, CE marked for European installations, and UL/CSA listed for North American facilities. RoHS compliant and backed by ISO 9001 manufacturing quality systems.
Product Status: Brand new, factory-sealed with full manufacturer warranty and technical documentation.
