Vibguard – online monitoring system

Vibguard

Vibguard will monitor your critical assets 24/7 in all situations 

The online condition monitoring system from Vibguard provides a selection of 6, 12, 16, or 20 measuring channels, all of which are sampled in parallel and synchronously. As a result, even the most complex equipment can be continuously monitored and effectively protected against unplanned shutdowns.

In addition, it operates autonomously, automatically performing measurement tasks. The measurement data—such as time signals, characteristic values, FFT spectrums, kinetic wave paths (orbits), or torques—are processed in parallel and nearly in real time. These data can then be correlated with the running production process for enhanced analysis.

Ideal monitoring and diagnostic system

Thanks to its fast data processing capabilities, Vibguard proves to be the ideal monitoring and diagnostic system for systems with short operating cycles, including cranes, machine tools, presses, or machines with highly dynamic processes, such as test benches, wind turbines, or chain conveyors. Furthermore, Vibguard IIoT allows for easy yet effective monitoring of critical fans and pumps, ensuring their continuous performance.

VIBGUARD IIoT measures time signals, overall values, FFT spectra, shock pulse, orbits, and much more across 12, 16, or 20 parallel channels, making it suitable for almost any type of signal input. Vibration, Tacho Pulse, temperature, and other relevant diagnostic inputs like torque are processed efficiently and can be correlated directly to the actual manufacturing process.

To facilitate seamless data transfer, Vibguard IIoT uses the MQTT protocol, ensuring both efficiency and security. Measurements integrate effortlessly into process control systems through the MQTT interface, allowing for smooth data flow. Additionally, intelligent data management tools enable efficient data reduction, while the “Intelligent Event Recorder” stores relevant results automatically and continuously. This continuous storage forms the foundation for comprehensive machine diagnostics.

Moreover, advanced alarm handling tools, such as variable frequency band alarms and frequency band trending, are available for monitoring specific machine failures, including unbalance, misalignment, gear mesh issues, and bearing failures.

By connecting to the buffered outputs of real-time protection systems, VIBGUARD IIoT makes in-depth analysis and monitoring of turbomachinery straightforward and reliable.
