Optimum condition and process monitoring – now also with Profinet IO interface.

For the evaluation of dynamic signals such as acceleration or force as well as analogue signals ifm electronic’s proven 6-
channel VSE type diagnostic systems have been completed with an interface to exchange data with a PLC via Profinet IO.
Condition monitoring – data becomes information Signals from the connected sensors are continuously processed in the VSE150 to calculate the characteristic values for condition monitoring defined in a parameter set. The results are compared with limits and thus become information about the condition of the process and machine. A deterioration in quality is recognised early, avoiding rejects and expensive damage. Using the fieldbus connection measured values can be directly indicated in the controller and monitoring can be perfectly adapted to the operating states and
processes of the machine. Two digital switching outputs (response time ≤ 1 ms) for time-critical alarms, 3 Ethernet ports (for a separate office and machine network), a large internal history memory with realtime clock and counter are further benefits of the VSE150.

Reduced network complexity saves time and money

Auxiliary parameters of condition monitoring such as rotational speed, trigger for operating states and non time-critical alarms can be directly transmitted via the fieldbus and no longer need to be exchanged via analogue and digital signals. This not only reduces wiring complexity but also saves the cost of providing the corresponding inputs/outputs on the PLC.
