Low Cost Online Vibration Monitoring System


The use of vibration transmitters, vibration alarms, and communication modules can be used to implement low-cost online vibration monitoring system (VMS) for simplified machinery monitoring and alarming.

A low cost VMS is ideal for industrial, commercial, and municipal facilities in that they can all benefit from condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance programs. If physical plant assets are doing the work to process a product, then increases in productivity and efficiency can be realized with a continuous online machinery health monitoring program. The 4-20 mA output can be sent directly to the facility's existing PLC or DCS for the most cost effective continuous vibration monitoring.

Some of the most common processes to benefit from a low cost VMS are pharmaceutical, food and beverage, brewing, water and waste water, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and power generation facilities. The low cost VMS is effective for 4-20 mA vibration monitoring of pumps, motors, fans, cooling towers, compressors, and gear boxes. Applying predictive maintenance techniques to these operations and machines can result in significant maintenance expense reductions.

Moreover, trending of the overall vibration level does not require any sophisticated analysis skills. Observing a sustained increase in overall vibration usually provides enough evidence to warrant a more detailed inspection of the machine. 

In addition, the use of a good vibration meter / data collector can enhance the workings of the low cost VMS by allowing maintenance teams to trend the data on a PC or analyse the data for vibration mechanical faults.
