API 670 machinery protection system
A rack-mounted system that monitors rotating machines continuously and raises alert and danger alarms before a fault becomes a failure. It is built to API 670 for vibration measurement and machinery protection.
Used on: Turbines, generators, compressors, pumps, fans and gearboxes
- 4 to 32 vibration or multifunction channels (RTD or 4–20 mA), plus up to 4 phase-reference channels
- Inputs from accelerometers, velocity sensors, proximity probes, tachometers and RTDs
- Radial vibration, axial displacement, case expansion, speed and reverse-rotation detection
- Alert and danger relays with a user-set delay of 1 to 60 seconds
- RS-485 Modbus RTU to the HMI, Ethernet to the monitoring software
- 19-inch rack mounting
