Monitoring Modules

The monitoring modules are the core part of the system, responsible for processing and analyzing the data collected by the sensors. They can quickly and accurately determine the operating status of the equipment and promptly issue alerts in the event of abnormalities.

For example, when the monitored vibration exceeds the set threshold, the monitoring module will immediately trigger an alarm, alerting the operators to take appropriate measures.

Communication Modules

The communication modules ensure efficient data transmission between the system and other control devices or host computers. It supports multiple communication protocols, such as Ethernet and Modbus, facilitating integration with different systems.

Software

The accompanying software provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface, facilitating users to configure, monitor, and analyze data of the system. Through the software, users can view real-time data, historical trends, alarm records, and other information, providing strong support for the maintenance and management of the equipment.

For example, users can analyze historical trends to understand the changing trend of the equipment’s operating status and thereby formulate a reasonable maintenance plan.
