Petasense, a producer of IIoT sensors and asset reliability and optimization, launched the first industrial wired sensor that combines vibration, temperature and speed detection into a single sensor. The Vibration Sensor (VSx) plugs into the Petasense Transmitter (Tx) to detect common failures in variable speed, batch or spared assets. Until now, these assets have been […]

Sensors Provide Temperature Signals without an RTD Input Card
Integration that reduces system complexity is always a highly desirable goal. Turck’s TTM series are integrated miniature temperature transmitters. The units have analog output that eliminates the need for specialized RTD PLC input cards. This saves both space and cost associated with these cards. Stainless steel connections make the transmitters well-suited for food and beverage […]
4-20 mA Transmitter Targets Accelerometer to Vibration Signal Conversion
Another recently introduced signal conditioning circuit for 4-20 mA output, specifically for vibration signals, comes from IMI Sensors – a division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. Operating from loop-power supplied by a PLC, DCS or SCADA system, the stainless steel housed 682A09 converts the 100 mV/g output from an accelerometer to a 4-20 mA vibration monitoring […]
