Multipoint intelligent self-contained vibration sensors – VN series
ifm’s VN Sensor offers more application flexibility than simple switches and transmitters.
- It measures overall Velocity RMS machine vibration with a frequency range up to 1000 Hz.
- Configurable High Pass filters of 2Hz and 10Hz.
- Vibration monitoring according to ISO 10816.
- Ability to capture and record raw time domain and frequency domain data using the VES004 software.
- It provides two flexible vibration measurements and onboard trend history.
- The VNB001 is more powerful than simple switches and transmitters.
Two measuring channels
ifm’s VK and VT sensors measure Velocity RMS only at one point. The VNB001 has two measuring channels:
- Second channel can be used with a 4...20 mA current signal, e.g. temperature.
- This flexibility can solve more applications.
4-digit alphanumeric display
The VN family can be configured using software or via the pushbuttons on the sensor display.
3-color (green, yellow and red) display gives at-a-glance indication of status.
On-board history
The VNB001 has on-board memory with real-time clock to store values at a preset interval. This information is configured and accessed via the VES004 software. The maximum value detected during the interval as well as the average value during the interval can be tracked for trending and root cause analysis.
Maximum value detected during the interval and average value during the interval can be tracked for trending and root cause analysis.
The VNB001 can detect vibration increases caused by defects such as:
- Unbalance
- Misalignment
- Looseness (velocity monitoring)
