Multi-Mode Smart Sensors Deliver Cost-Effective Condition-Based Monitoring in Rotating Equipment

When implementing condition-based monitoring in equipment with mission-critical rotating elements, maintenance engineers require large amounts of process data. Contrinex Smart Sensors monitor multiple parameters in real time, including unexpected levels of vibration, increased bearing temperature or irregular radial deflections of a shaft.

These highly versatile sensors meet designers’ needs for a flexible, cost-effective solution that maximizes data availability without adding complexity.

Customer benefits

• Embeddable Smart Sensors monitor multiple parameters including deflection, vibration, temperature, linear position, angular displacement and cycle count
• A single sensor variant provides a range of functions in different locations on a piece of machinery
• Industry-standard IO-Link connectivity provides a single interface to the machine control system
• Dual-channel operation allows the sensor to deliver high-speed notifications directly to the control system if a critical failure occurs
• Cumulative operating data, including temperature profile and operating-cycle count, is recorded in on-board data storage
• Sensor configurations are stored locally, allowing plug-and-play replacement of sensors when needed
• Smart Sensors are ideal for remote locations as proven technology ensures highly reliable fit-and-forget operation with no day-to-day intervention
