Monitor industrial plants easily with Industrial IoT sensors.

Knowledge is power - with our Industrial IoT sensors you can record important device data of your existing and new equipment with regard to mechanical and electrical variables. As a result you gain valuable information for important decisions regarding the operation and maintenance of your plants.

At Weidmüller we see data acquisition as part of an end-to-end system solution, from the sensor to the cloud. That is why the IoT sensors in the u-sense product family are part of our integrated and at the same time interoperable Industrial IoT solution portfolio.

u-sense vibration VIB1 - Wireless sensor for easy retrofitting

Wireless machine health monitoring through vibration analysis

The Industrial Internet of Things concept has great potential for retrofitting existing systems that have not yet been digitised in any way. The u-sense vibration VIB1 wireless radio vibration sensor is particularly advantageous for easy retrofitting in existing buildings. It is powered by a replaceable battery and communicates with Weidmüller's gateways and control units via Bluetooth. This makes it quick and easy to monitor the condition of existing and new machines without the need for extensive installation work on the machines. The sensor is suitable for use in production, in water management, and, thanks to its Ex certification for Zone 2, also for the process industry.

  • Wireless time and frequency domain vibration analysis in 3 axes
  • Easy installation thanks to battery operation with wireless communication
  • Interoperability in local automation, as well as on-premise and cloud platforms
  • Approved for harsh environments (IP66/67, Ex Zone 2)

u-sense vibration VIB2x/4x/6x - Robust wired sensors

Continuous real-time condition monitoring

In addition to the wireless sensor, Weidmüller's portfolio of vibration sensors also includes wired sensors. Although they require more effort to install, they offer the operational advantage of no battery changes. In addition, wired sensors measure continuously and are also suitable for machines that frequently change their operating states.

The wired vibration sensors of the VIB2x, VIB4x, and VIB6x series are powered and read via an analogue current interface (4...20mA). They also provide digital switching outputs to signal out-of-limit conditions. The VIB22 and VIB24 series have an IO-Link interface for configuration and communication of extended measured values. With Ex and SIL certification, Weidmüller's wired sensors are suitable for a wide range of industries and applications.

  • Continuous wired vibration analysis
  • Compact design with robust stainless steel housings (V2A, V4A)
  • Analog, IO-Link, switching output
  • Extensive approvals (Ex, SIL)

High-quality installation accessories

Cables, connectors, mounting adapters and magnets for professional installation

For proper and industrial-grade installation of vibration monitoring systems, Weidmüller offers high-quality cables, connectors, mounting adapters, and magnets for mobile use.

  • Mounting adapters (threaded and adhesive plate)
  • Magnet adapters (for flat and convex surfaces)
  • Sensor cables in different assemblies
  • Rubber protective covers and metal protective hoses

u-sense VIB1 Pilot-Kit - measuring system for simple field testing

A quick introduction to the monitoring of machines and systems

With our Pilot-Kit, you can test vibration analysis with u-sense vibration quickly and easily on your machine. The sensor records vibration and temperature data from your machine and sends it wirelessly to the gateway, where it is displayed in the easy-to-use, open-source Node-RED development environment. All you need is your browser.

The Pilot-Kit includes the hardware as well as the application software on the gateway for local visualisation, storage and monitoring of the measured values. The application software also offers the option of connecting to additional data services (multi-connectivity).

  • Quick and easy data collection on your machine
  • Local visualisation and monitoring
  • Multi-connectivity for local, on-premise, and cloud integration
