Connecting the VIBROCONTROL 18xx to a 
PLC/PC 

The VIBROCONTROL 18xx vibration monitor has an RS-485 and  
a USB 2.0 interface, which allows the user to change many of the setup parameters for the 
application using the corresponding Compact Setup software. Status information or measured 
values can also be read over the same interface. 
The VC-18xx vibration monitor comes with pre-configured settings.  
 

 

NOTE! 

The Compact Setup software overwrites these factory settings when the user transfers the 
changes to the monitor. Then the official factory setting will no longer be in effect. 

The factory settings can be loaded onto the device again under the "Default Setup" function in the 
Compact Setup software. 

9.1 

USB 2.0 Interface 

To use the USB-2.0 interface, a USB cable is needed to connect the VC-18xx vibration monitor to 
the computer. The maximum data transfer speed between a PC and a VC-18xx device is 3 MBaud. 
 

 

NOTE! 

Only one device (VC-1850/1860/1870) is accessed via the USB-2.0 interface. 

 

 
 

 

 

NOTE 

This method is used mainly for the temporary connection of a permanently mounted VC-18x0 
and a (Notebook) PC in the field, for example for an upgrade (new firmware) or an update 
(new setup parameters).
