Vibration protection systems

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.
