VIBCONNECT® RF

Wireless Condition Monitoring

Wireless Freedom.


Wireless Condition Monitoring opens up new possibilities

No restrictions, great flexibility and advanced technology – these terms accurately describe our VIBCONNECT® RF solution. This innovative radio-based online system offers you virtually unrestricted flexibility in the planning and installation of your monitoring solution. VIBCONNECT® RF does away with costly cabling of the sensors. You also save time and money during operation, as VIBCONNECT® RF is fully automated and comes with a self-contained power source. The system can be extended at any stage: simply mount the additional sensor units on the machines, register them at the radio cell and all programmed measurements are then performed as required.

VIBCONNECT® RF: Wireless condition monitoring and diagnosis

High plant availability Low maintenance costs Greater safety

For plants extending over a large area, the radio cells with up to 50 sensor units each can be positioned for optimized communication.

VIBCONNECT® RF Bridge

(radio cell)


Wireless Condition Monitoring opens up new possibilities

VIBCONNECT® RF Bridge

The bridge is the core unit of the radio cell, which receives the measurement signals from the sensor units and calculates the characteristic values, spec-tra and envelopes. The data is then transmitted via Ethernet to the OMNITREND® software platform for further analysis, reporting and archiving. The sensor units are provided through the bridge with the measuring configurations programmed in the OMNITREND software. The radio frequency is not commonly used and thus virtually interference-free.

Versatile use – easy installation

LAN (Ethernet)

VIBCONNECT® RFSensor unit and sensors

The sensor unit and the sensors are installed on the machine and connected to each other with short cables. These components can be positioned wher-ever the measuring signal is strongest and radio re-ception is best. Each sensor simultaneously records vibration, roller bearing condition and temperature, with minimum power consumption. Between the measuring cycles, the sensor unit is set to standby mode to ensure long battery life.

Everything at your fingertips – with OMNITREND®

The OMNITREND® analysis software ensures round-the-clock access to the machine condition data. The software comes with an intuitive interface for fast and user-friendly analysis and archiving of the measurements. Its reporting functions highlight critical conditions and enable you to summarize all relevant information in properly formatted reports. Configuration of the measuring functions is made easy as the software guides you through the various dialogs.
