Intended use
The VCM-3 is intended for tapping and digitizing analog signals and to process these signals for
utilization by Brüel und Kjær Vibro and 3rd party software.
The VCM-3 is only intended to be used indoor or mounted in a field cabinet. The input terminals of
VCM-3 accept signals from a variety of sensors that can be supplied by a constant current source
(CCS) or -24 V.
Also buffered output signals from existing machine protection systems or external powered sensors
can be connected to the terminals. Data may also be acquired via RS485 Interface or LAN
connections.
This
functionality must be provided by the “Standard (Master) Monitoring Template” used for the
application. Processed data are provided for other applications via LAN or RS485 interface.
