Sensonics - Model Sentry G3 - Condition Monitoring Module (Data Acquisition Card for Vibration Analysis)
The Sentry G3 Vibration Analysis Module is designed to acquire transient analysis data from up to 32 dynamic channels across two G3 rack systems. The module is located in slot 6 of the G3 master rack and connects to the G3 monitor modules through the rack backplane, connecting to the secondary slave rack backplane through a multi-way cable assembly.
Order locked time data and asynchronous FFT’s are acquired by the module according to the phase reference allocation and module configuration. All data is communicated via TCPIP for storage on a local server and PC based software is utilised to access the data to perform the required offline analysis of the data files. Internal Flash storage is utilised within the module for capturing pre and post static and transient data on alarm.
The separate SentryG3 VAM hardware concept ensures the protection element of the machine monitoring system is separate and diverse from the analysis acquisition and associated software tools.
Acquisition modes and the alarm configurations are programmed directly to the Sentry VAM module through the remote user interface. Other plant data can be captured and trended through both OPC and TCPIP Modbus protocols to the Server.
