Condition monitor watches four locations

The efector octavis' I/Os can be used as inputs, electronically trigger diagnosis, collect switching states of other sensors and transmit them to operational data logging via the OPC standard.

The efector octavis bearing condition monitor from IFM Electronic is now available as a master unit which can monitor up to four separate locations.

Additionally, the new efector octavis VSE100 unit has eight input/output connections that can be freely configured.

The I/Os can be used as inputs, electronically trigger diagnosis, collect switching states of other sensors and transmit them to operational data logging via the OPC standard.

The integrated FIFO history memory can store 33,000 values with a time stamp.

These new versions make predictive maintenance efector octavis even more cost-effective.

The octavis central unit can also be programmed via Ethernet.

The vibration pickups, which can be up to 30m from the central diagnostic, are made in stainless steel with a IP69K rating for arduous environments.

Rolling element bearings are probably the commonest element to be found on the shop floor.

As both a load-bearing and moving component, their condition determines the efficiency of the machines, yet until now it was very costly to monitor their condition continuously.

The IFM electronic efector octavis recognises, displays and signals bearing condition.

Affordable sensors for condition monitoring mean monitoring is no longer restricted to the most critical bearings and users don't need extensive training in vibration frequency analysis.
