IDX ifm VSE Gateway DATA SHEET

The IDX ifm VSE Gateway is a DIN-rail mountable industrial communication gateway that allows real-

time vibration monitoring data from the ifm VSE diagnostic device series to be made available via a

variety of standard industrial data protocols and/or interfaces.

The Gateway has been specifically designed to work with the ifm VSE002 and VSE100 monitoring

devices, and connects to up to 10 VSE devices via Ethernet. The IDX Gateway exposes the VSE

vibration monitoring data via interfaces based on the RS-232/485 or Ethernet interfaces, such as

MODBUS and OPC. Alternatively, a custom protocol interface can be cost-effectively developed if

required.

The gateway requires minimal configuration when using the OPC DA Server or MODBUS slave

interfaces as these are preconfigured as required. Data can be read from the device using an OPC

client or MODBUS master, for example, that has been set to read specific data items. Other

interface configuration and device setup can be performed from a PC via an Ethernet connection

using the IDX Management Console utility.
