Monitor vibration to avoid a standstill

So that machines and systems can work economically, downtimes must be kept to a minimum. At the start of any measure to increase availability, it is important to know the condition of the system. The recorded process data of the critical variables such as temperature, noise and vibration represent the operating state, making precise predictions about the optimal maintenance times and remaining service life possible.

You can individually set the relevant parameters for your machine and modify them via IO-Link communication. This allows you to set up real-time indicators for automated warning messages or alarms. The sensors also feature smart maintenance data for this purpose. Settings for maintenance data, event and counter parameters are made and read out via IO-Link

IO-Link

IO-Link is an open standard according to IEC 61131-9 which allows for direct connections between the control system and the field bus level independent of the field bus. Just as the USB once set a new standard in the world of PCs, IO-Link enables simpler installation and additional information for machine monitoring. In this way, future proof Industry 4.0 technology can be integrated directly into the existing control platforms of your systems and machinery. Expensive secondary networks, gateways and IT support are no longer necessary. IO-Link masters send process values and status signals to both the control system and to superordinate systems.

Smart vibration sensors ith IO-Link

Because almost no two machines are the same, the sensors for your reliable monitoring have to meet very specific requirements. With the vibration sensors HE050/HE055, you can easily set and modify your specific parameters. Define vibration severity levels for the machine’s productive times. Then you easily get an OEE value with the hour counter. Furthermore, an additional analog measuring channel or an additional switching signal on pin 2 can be activated. You can even set up the IO-Link sensor as a purely analog sensor. All adjustments made to the sensor will be saved as a configuration status along with a sensor/device type ID in the IO-Link master. When sensors are replaced, the saved configuration status will automatically transfer to the new unit. This makes it easy and convenient to copying presettings to other machines and systems.

Predictive maintenance through condition-based real-time monitoring

Unplanned downtimes can account for nearly a quarter of total production costs. Predictive maintenance thus offers huge potential for significant cost savings and productivity increases. By reducing downtime and maintenance costs, both throughput and plant utilization are increased. With respect to product quality, predictive maintenance contributes to a constant level. Overall, this extends the entire service life of a machine or system. In short: A higher OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).

HE050

Series HE050 for standard vibration monitoring units and for situations with tight spaces. The product also offers the option to operate by purely digital means via IO link and a large amount of flexibility with many configuration options.

Features

• Two freely configurable outputs
• Output 1: IO link or digital switching output
