Anytime, anywhere

The VSE system design specification can offer permanent monitoring at a low cost and can be used by any technician or engineer – you don’t need specialist knowledge. It can be networked with standard off the shelf products while the actual vibration data is processed close to the point of measurement. One single VSE100 can monitor multiple points with one unit and offers integrated history to provide trending analysis.

The VSE100 will integrate into any control system or automation set-up or connect to telemetry at a cost in the region of hundreds of pounds per asset. The software is free of charge.

The device can carry out vibration monitoring to ISO 10816. Using VSA or VSP accelerometers attached to the asset, the VSE detects rolling element bearing damage by looking for a number of symptoms, from progressive bearing damage to simple misalignment, overload or imbalance, insufficient lubrication or incorrect assembly through to shock damage in handling or even simple material defects. 

If it’s a shaft that needs monitoring the VSE will provide data or alarms for shaft imbalance resulting from damage to pump impellers or deposits on fan impellers, or incorrect assembly resulting in misalignment.

Essentially the VSE100 is a rail-mount monitoring module for use with up to four vibration sensors offering multiple digital alarm outputs, 4-20mA analogue output, history trend storage and counter functions, operating on 24V DC.

The VSE100 requires the VES003 software which facilitates monitoring by displaying each object as simple-to-understand bar graphs. Several views are available including a damage level screen showing each object being monitored.

Each VSE100 card can store 600,000 data values, saving date and time stamp for each parameter being monitored. This file can be downloaded and saved.

The VSE100 is not restricted to use as a stand-alone system (connect to a laptop and download data it’s convenient) it can be used hard-wired to the plc for alarms, or that can extend to hard-wired alarms plus network connection for managers to monitor. Equally, and useful for many industries is the use of VSE for completely remote access via a router to the internet and access data from anywhere.
