The EtherNet/IP ports are used for communication between the diagnostic
electronics and an EtherNet/IP controller (e�g� PLC)�
Functions of the EtherNet/IP interface
– transferring the current measured values, limits and alarm states of the
diagnostic electronics to the PLC
– reading the counter readings of the diagnostic electronics
– writing rotational speeds and other values from the PLC to the diagnostic
electronics
– writing teach values from the PLC to the diagnostic electronics
The device is not approved for safety-related tasks in the field of operator
protection�
5.1 Firmware
► Recommendation: Install the firmware to use all device functions�
The firmware can only be updated via the VES004 PC software� Only the firmware
of the entire device can be updated�
Firmware and operating software → download area www.ifm.com
A description of all firmware parameters and their meaning → VES004 PC
software manual�
5.2 Description of functions
With the device
– vibration monitoring (total vibration to ISO)
– condition monitoring (condition-based monitoring on the basis of vibration
characteristics)
– machine protection/process monitoring (monitoring vibration characteristics
in real time with a very fast reaction time up to 1 ms)
can be implemented�
Monitoring of up to 24 objects (indicators for different machine parts, vibration
characteristics or process values)
– dynamic values within the time range (e�g� v-RMS to ISO)
– dynamic values within the frequency range FFT or HFFT (e�g� imbalance or
rolling element bearing)
– process values (analogue signals) for current value above or below the limit
The device has an internal history memory (600,000 values) with real-time clock
and flexible memory interval per object� The memory is a ring memory (FIFO)�
