iT Series
The Intelligent Transmitter Series of vibration transmitters, vibration alarms, and communication modules can be used to implement low-cost online vibration monitoring and simplified machinery monitoring and alarming.
The Intelligent Transmitter Series of 4-20 mA vibration transmitters, vibration alarms, and communication modules can be used to implement low-cost online vibration monitoring and simplified machinery monitoring and alarming.
The Intelligent Transmitter (iT) Series is a complete family of 4-20 mA units that provide signal conditioning for simplified online vibration monitoring and provide a Total Lower Cost approach to continuous monitoring. The iT Series includes the iT transmitter, iT Alarm and iT Communication Module.
The iT Series is ideal for industrial, commercial, and municipal facilities that all benefit from condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance programs. If physical plant assets are doing the work to process a product, then increases in productivity and efficiency can be realized with a continuous online machinery health monitoring program. The 4-20 mA output can be sent directly to the facility’s existing PLC or DCS for the most cost effective continuous vibration monitoring.
Some of the most common processes to benefit from the iT Series are pharmaceutical, food and beverage, brewing, water and waste water, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and power generation facilities. The iT Series is effective for 4-20 mA vibration monitoring of pumps, motors, fans, cooling towers, compressors, and gear boxes. Applying predictive maintenance techniques to these operations and machines can result in significant maintenance expense reductions.
Moreover, trending of the overall vibration level does not require any sophisticated analysis skills. Observing a sustained increase in overall vibration usually provides enough evidence to warrant a more detailed inspection of the machine. How to select acceleration, velocity or displacement:
| How to select acceleration, velocity or displacement: The iT Transmitter outputs 4-20 mA vibration data in terms of acceleration, velocity or displacement (as selected at the time the unit is ordered). Displacement measurements indicate overall movement. A 4-20 mA displacement transmitter is ideal for applications that requiring the measurement of the machine case movement. 4-20 mA vibration transmitters that measure velocity are most common for measuring overall machine health, and acceleration measurements are best for trending gear mesh or monitoring cavitation where the effect is evidenced in the higher frequency region. |
