Networks vibration monitors
September 1st 2006

Designed to complement the efector octavis vibration monitor, NetMonitor from ifm electronic not only networks the vibration monitors, but records diagnostic data and displays graphically the information a user might need. It provides instant alarm information and maintenance instructions.

The effector octavos sensor detects imbalance, damage to rolling element bearings, alignment errors, cavitation and meshing at an early stage. This is said to allow the optimisation of vital plant availability from gears to electric motors, ventilators, pumps and spindles and increases production efficiency.

NetMonitor can be set to automatically send out the instruction to maintenance personnel.

In addition to the alarm function of the effector octavos sensors, diagnostic values can be transmitted to the newMonitor data logging software via Ethernet. The display shows a collective alarm if any monitoring point shows danger levels, then the individual problem can be readily pinpointed and dealt with. Infractions of the limit values can be signalled to personnel in charge via e-mail using the netMonitor message centre.

Maintenance instructions can be stored and automatic print-out of instructions can be set in netMonitor.
