Vibration monitoring for pumps, fans and compressors

Vibration Monitoring detects mechanical anomalies at an early stage – enabling predictive maintenance and reducing downtime in pump, fan and compressor applications.

Why vibration monitoring?

Production plants consist of many individual components.
Each of these components is susceptible to wear and mechanical problems that can lead to defects and, in the worst case, to a complete shutdown of the system.
To prevent such defects, systems are normally serviced at fixed intervals.
It would be more economical to maintain the system as required rather than at fixed intervals.
The vibrations measured in the system are a key indicator of the need for maintenance.
Continuous monitoring of the system through "Vibration Monitoring" enables precise identification of maintenance requirements, thus minimising costs and productivity restrictions.

Vibration monitoring - The smart fitness tracker for your system

Vibration Monitoring" monitors your application during operation for irregularities caused by vibration.
Like a fitness tracker that monitors your heart rate, INVEOR keeps a constant eye on the "state of health" of your system.
Potential problems such as progressive wear or the imminent failure of mechanical components can be recognised at an early stage.
The "Vibration Monitoring" feature is integrated directly into the frequency inverter. Compared to the competition, there is no need to purchase and install a sensor separately. This saves time and money.
Vibration monitoring is already available as an option in the MPP and is still being planned for the INVEOR MPM.

Getting started with predictive maintenance

“Vibration Monitoring" records vibrations in the application.
A PT1000 resistance temperature sensor can be used to monitor temperatures from -20°C to +250°C in the application.
In addition to this data, the following actual values and process variables available in the inverter can be monitored: Target frequency, actual frequency, mechanical speed, motor current, motor voltage, all digital and analogue I/Os, torque, motor power, operating time, customer-specific PLC output variables.
The data provided can be transferred to a terminal device or the cloud via fieldbus (EthernetIP, ProfiNet) or MQTT
Data analysis with INVERTERapp or INVERTERpc software
Early detection of anomalies and countermeasures - your entry into predictive maintenance.
