monitoring<br />
system<br />
VIBCONNECT<br />
RF is a wireless<br />
condition monitoring<br />
system for<br />
machine components.<br />
The system<br />
monitors the<br />
condition of roller<br />
bearings and other<br />
rotating components,<br />
and detects damage caused by cavitation. The<br />
VIBVONNECT bridge acts as the central receiver as it<br />
processes the data from the sensor units, transmitting<br />
it through the operator’s network. Operators can assess<br />
machine vibration, bearing condition, and temperature<br />
through the variety of analytical functions available.<br />

Programmable automation controllers<br />
The Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5370 programmable<br />
automation controllers include 5370 L1, L2, and L3 controllers.<br />
These controllers have enhanced performance and<br />
motion capabilities while leveraging the common design<br />
and networking environment of Rockwell Automation’s<br />
Integrated Architecture system. The CompactLogix 5370<br />
offers performance and cost competitiveness for machine<br />
builders requiring up to 16 axes of complex motion on<br />
EtherNet/IP. The series offers the same processing speed<br />
upgrades as the ControlLogix 5570 series, but with more<br />
than twice the processing speeds.<br />
