Applications

VibroSmart is a cost-effective family of devices that offers unique combinations of

functionality, versatility and safety assurance. Different VibroSmart modules, terminal bases,

devices and communications adaptors can be combined to build any machinery monitoring

system. In this way, a monitoring system can be built to meet the exact needs of an

application resulting in a more cost-effective and reliable solution.

In practice, a VibroSmart DMS consists of one or more VibroSmart modules connected

together in one or more measurement blocks in order to provide a machinery monitoring

system. The actual functionality provided by a VibroSmart DMS depends on how the DMS is

configured, which is done using the VibroSight® software.

ypically, a VibroSmart DMS can be configured and operated as a machinery protection

system (MPS), a condition monitoring system (CMS) or a combined MPS/CMS:

• An MPS can be implemented using a VibroSmart DMS configured without a VibroSight

Server and database, that is, a simple “stand-alone” DMS.

• A CMS must be implemented using a VibroSmart DMS configured with a VibroSight

Server and database in order to allow the permanent storage of data for viewing at a later

time.

VibroSmart DMSs are intended primarily for vibration monitoring of critical assets such as gas

or steam turbines, motors, compressors, generators, feed pumps, fans or other rotating and

reciprocating equipment in the power generation, petro-chemical and petroleum industries.

The modular and scalable nature of VibroSmart DMS means it can also be used to provide a

versatile and cost-effective monitoring system for balance of plant equipment.
