Applications
VIBROCONTROL 1803/1804 (VC-1803/-1804) enables communication between one or more
vibration monitors and one or more PCs or PLCs in a local network (LAN) or via the Internet.
Furthermore, the VIBROCONTROL 1804 includes data logging of measurement data and alarms
for off-line post analysis. Data logging is especially useful if there is no Internet connection and/or
no local PC available.
Permanent cable installation is simply via terminals. There are LAN and RS-232 connections on
the front.
Only port 1 of the device can be used for communication by means of a daisy chain of vibration
monitors using a proprietary RS-485 protocol.
