Monitran has added Modbus to its
robust g-mac accelerometer signal
conditioning module.

This enables g-mac to be
networked and communicate
vibration levels to computers and
other networked devices, so that it
plays a key role in machine
protection and process monitoring.

Andy Anthony, operations
director, comments: “With vibration
levels typically providing the earliest
indication of wear in bearings and
gears, for example, accelerometers
are playing an increasingly
important role in condition-based
predictive maintenance routines.

Now that our g-mac signal
conditioning unit includes Modbus,
it is even easier to communicate
vibration levels over a network.”
The module is in a standard DIN
format for rail mounting and can
accept any standard two-wire
accelerometer. In addition to
Modbus, there are three analogue
outputs.
