Embedded Data Systems OW-VIB-R - Vibration Monitor with Relay

Description

The EDS Vibration Monitor w/Relay, OW-VIB-R, offers an innovative way to easily monitor and control vibration within an environment. The OW-VIB-R has a highly sensitive vibration sensor which enables the detection of changes in the cyclical motion of equipment. This early detection of changes from "normal" environments allows arising maintenance issues to be identified prior to failure reducing costly repairs and downtime in manufacturing facilities. Beyond the sensitive vibration sensor; each OW-VIB-R possesses a; LED, conditional search support, a pass-through 1-Wire connection and an optional relay. Together these features offer an efficient and flexible system for monitoring vibration at one or more locations within a building. The sensor was specifically designed for easy communications. Any general purpose 1-Wire host adapter* should be capable of reading data from the sensor. The conditional search support allows the 1-Wire host adapter to quickly identify the alarm status for numerous parameters; and the LED and latching relay can be configured to behave in a variety of ways, including: Activate when an alarm parameter is met and deactivate when the alarm byte is cleared. Activate when an alarm parameter is met and deactivate when readings return to normal range. Controlled independent of alarm status. The LED and relay response times are extremely fast; the sensors are able to respond appropriately (turn off power/alarm siren/etc) even before the monitoring application is aware an alarm has been triggered. Since the EDS Vibration Monitor's alarm functions can operate independently of the 1-Wire host adapter, the sensor can be used as a standalone method of disabling equipment in instances of shock. Resetting the relay is done by merely cycling the Vibration Monitor's power. * Tested models include the HA7Net, OW-SERVER, HA2, HA3, HA4B, HA5, HA7E, HA7S, DS9490R#, DS9097U, and LinkUSB
