Condition Monitoring of Rotating Equipment

Published on : Monday 12-09-2022

Machine condition monitoring of rotating equipment with a smart sensor solution – u-sense vibration for easy retrofitting as a wireless IIoT solution

With u-sense, Weidmüller now offers a retrofit-capable solution that integrates motor monitoring directly into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in the shortest time possible. With its connection to the IIoT, u-sense helps to reduce downtimes and to deploy maintenance personnel in a more targeted manner than is possible with decentralised solutions or fixed maintenance intervals.

Vibrations tell us a lot about the condition of a machine. For example, they can indicate early signs of obvious wear. With u-sense vibration, unusual vibrations can be reliably detected.
u-sense vibration is a compact sensor for monitoring the condition of machines. It was designed especially for continuously running pumps and drives. Thanks to battery power supply, wireless data transmission and IP66 protection, u-sense vibration is ideally suited for retrofitting in the field. Together with the Weidmüller Gateway IoT-GW30, the data collected by the sensor can be temporarily stored, visualised, and transferred to a cloud or local system.
