Analog Devices just simplified the lives of industrial equipment designers who are tasked with implementing a vibration analysis system. Building on their MEMS accelerometer expertise, ADI has introduced the ADIS16227 iSensor, a tri-axial, digital vibration monitor that combines its iMEMS sensor, data conversion and sensor processing technologies with data capture and a serial peripheral interface (SPI).
The vibration monitoring aspects are quite unique for a system housed in a 15-–mm3 package. The unit boasts embedded frequency domain processing, 512-point real value Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT), and the ability to identify and classify individual sources of vibration, monitor their changes over time and react to programmable threshold levels. The system has configurable spectral alarm bands and windowing options that allow the analysis of the full frequency spectrum with the configuration of 6 bands, a warning threshold (Alarm1) and a fault threshold (Alarm2 ) for earlier and more accurate detection of problems.
