Introduction

The VibroSmart ® distributed monitoring system

(DMS) is a system of modular and scalable

products designed for condition monitoring and

machinery protection applications for power

generation turbines, oil and gas applications and

auxiliary balance-of-plant equipment.

VibroSmart ® modules can be mounted directly

on machinery, reducing the need for expensive

cabling, because they are designed and certified

to work in extremes, such as harsh industrial

environments characterised by potentially

explosive atmospheres (Ex Zone 2), high

temperatures (70 °C, 158 °F) and high mechanical

stress. VibroSmart complements the VM600 series

of rack-based solutions from Meggitt’s

vibro-meter ® product line and is compatible with

the same VibroSight ® machinery monitoring

system software.

The VibroSmart ® VSI010 communications

interface module is an optional communications

module for use with other VibroSmart modules in a

monitoring system. The VSI010 module supports up

to two fieldbus channels and allows the data from

the VibroSmart modules in a measurement block

to be read by fieldbus master devices.
