Taking machinery protection to a new level

Condition monitoring specialists Sensonics have introduced advanced display options for its Sentry G3 machinery protection monitor. The latest Sentry G3 system offers an intuitive colour LCD display in each module to enable plant engineers to identify abnormal conditions and better manage the dynamic behaviour of their rotating plant.

The advanced features now include; Vibration, position and speed parameter trending facilities, including log and view of up to 60 days of data, ‘look back’ at trends and alarms, plus download data for further analysis in Excel.

In addition, it is now possible to view proximity probe gap and vibration transducer bias voltages, to verify correct transducer operation and calibration. A single view page for all warning, danger and health alarms provides rapid feedback on the complete module alarm status.

The G3 system offers up to 24 measurement channels in a 3U format, with each channel providing independent analogue outputs of current and voltage for DCS connection, in addition to an alarm relay.

The Sentry G3 also includes a set of tools to assist plant engineers to optimise the control and management of their rotating plant.
