To help manufacturers and operators
meet the latest machinery directives,
condition monitoring specialist
Sensonics has developed proven and
robust vibration protection systems
for many industrial sectors. For
example the company’s DN2611 SIL
(Safety Integrity Level) rated dual
channel monitor is claimed to be
ideal for machine casing and bearing
vibration monitoring applications. It
provides dual level alarms (warning
and danger) for each channel and
provides a relay interface for plant
shutdown and health monitoring.

Current loop outputs for each
channel are provided for interfacing
with a PLC for trending and further
alarm monitoring. The transducer
interface can be configured for
operation with or without safety
barriers.
