Integration of diagnostic electronics
There are several ways to integrate the diagnostic electronics and acceleration sensors and bundle the collected data to make them available to other connected systems.
The VES parameter setting software will support you with parameter setting, monitoring and analysis of the diagnostic electronics. ifm’s IIoT platform moneo can be used for comprehensive plant monitoring. Learn more!
VSE OPC UA server
Using the VSE OPC UA server, you can easily transfer the data from the diagnostic electronics to the IT level without in-depth programming knowledge. This makes the vibration analysis information available for software-based plant monitoring and process optimisation in higher-level systems. A separate client is needed for the data processing.
VES004 parameter setting software
The VSE diagnostic electronics is configured with the free VES004 software tool:
- network and security configuration
- input and output configuration
- measuring task / object parameterisation
- fieldbus object mapping
- reading of raw and historical data
VES004 also comprises monitoring and analysis functions for targeted configuration and root cause analysis:
- object monitoring
- spectrum analysis
- envelope curve analysis
- time domain analysis
- data export
Application Package Assistant (APA)
The Application Package Assistant is a free software that bundles standard functions of the VES004 parameter setting software and the VSE diagnostic electronics and can be used by service staff as a scalable solution.
Set-up of the VSExxx diagnostic electronics for an application solution:
- Load the parameter set file to the diagnostic electronics
- Signal test of the sensors connected to the diagnostic electronics
- Configure thresholds and alarm behaviour
- Create a service file for analysis and service purposes.
The APA tool can be downloaded from the download section of the VSE devices.
moneo RTM
With its IIoT platform moneo, especially with moneo RTM, ifm offers a ready-to-use and powerful condition monitoring software. moneo RTM can be used to implement fully customisable dashboards for comprehensive plant monitoring and presentation of all important process data.
In case of damage, an alarm message is sent directly to the user. This makes it possible to react quickly and avoid a possible total failure. Using the RTM Advanced Vibration Analysis add-on, the raw data records of the VSE triggered by moneo RTM can be visualised in the time domain and the damage root cause can be diagnosed.
