Monitran, a company that develops and manufactures transducers for the measurement of vibration, displacement and proximity, has added 'smart sensors' to its MTN/2200 product range.

The new sensors, which carry the postfix '1Y' to their current part numbers, conform to IEEE-P1451.4 (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) and can be interrogated by reversing the polarity of their supply voltage.

Typical data that can be programmed and read back includes the manufacturer's ID, part number, serial number, sensitivity (as set by the OEM) and calibration data.

Donald Lyon, MD, says: "These sensors are ideal for applications where multiple sensors are in use, and where measurements are typically collected in one place." Devices in the 22001Y range are suitable for vibration analysis. As standard they operate between ±80g, have a rapid response to shock loading and can withstand forces in excess of 10,000g. They have isolated AC outputs with standard sensitivities of 100mV/g; alternative sensitivities are available upon request.
