The new VT stainless steel vibration
transmitter from ifm electronic
monitors plant and machinery
according to ISO 10816. The sensor
measures the true rms velocity of
non-rotating component surfaces and
transmits these values directly to the
PLC as an analogue signal (4-20mA).

The unit is quick and easy to
install. No extra parameter setting
software is required, and the VT is a
two-wire loop-powered device.

Of robust design and with high IP
rating and maximum ambient
temperature of 105°C, the sensor is
suitable for harsh environments.

Connection to the outside world is
via an industry-standard M12
connector, with mating connectors
in matching IP versions available
from ifm.
