When industrial equipment needs continuous vibration monitoring, having the right diagnostic electronics helps collect sensor data and identify operating conditions before they become difficult to manage. The IFM VSE160 is designed for vibration monitoring applications where multiple sensor inputs, configurable outputs, and industrial communication are required.
IFM VSE160, Diagnostic Electronics for Vibration Sensors
The IFM VSE160 is diagnostic electronics for vibration sensors designed for continuous vibration monitoring. Its housing is designed for DIN rail mounting, and parameter setting can be performed through PC software VES004. The unit provides a total of 8 parameterisable inputs and outputs for flexible monitoring and control applications.
The device includes 4 dynamic inputs with current, dynamic input functionality and support for 0...10 mA / IEPE / 4...20 mA input ranges. These inputs provide an input frequency of 0,1...12000 Hz, 16 bit resolution, and a sampling rate of 100 kSamples. Two additional process value inputs support pulse and current signals for further monitoring requirements.
For industrial control and communication, the VSE160 provides configurable PNP outputs, including a multifunction output with 4...20 mA analogue output capability. It also provides Ethernet communication through an RJ45 connector with 10/100 MBit/s transmission and TCP/IP protocol. PROFINET communication is supported with 100 MBit/s transmission, along with features including CC-C (Conformance Class C), Netload Class III, SNMP, and MRP.
The device is designed for installation in industrial environments with an ambient temperature range of 0...60 °C and IP 20 protection. Its DIN rail mounting design uses TH35 (EN 60715), while the 114.2 x 50 x 105.3 mm housing and 401.9 g weight support practical panel installation. Internal data storage, history memory, buffered data memory, ring memory/FIFO, and a real-time clock provide functions for retaining monitoring data.
