Efficient machines with Condition Monitoring

Prevent irreparable damage, minimize costs and maintenance time, maximize uptime... All this can be done monitoring a machine and registering the physical parameters indicative of its state of health, such as for example vibrations.

B&R has developed I/O modules to which up to 4 accelerometers can be connected for vibration measurements. Taking advantage of the I/O of the X20 family already present in the automation system, data can be measured, collected and processed to help understand the physical state of a machine, correlating it with the control logic and the process underway.
The said data, collected by the sensors and correctly processed by the module, can then be easily displayed on the screen in graph form to help maintenance workers, enabling them to detect deviations from the optimum performance in time and to plan appropriate maintenance operations.
