Product Details

OVERVIEW

VM-25 is a compact condition monitoring system with standard Modbus/TCP digital communication, making it IoT-ready for integration with plant control and monitoring networks.

The system is expandable and configurable with 2 to 8 vibration measurement channels, isolated recorder outputs, and relay outputs in a modular slot-based architecture. Its small footprint (approx. 158 × 99 × 113 mm) requires minimal panel space.

Field-configurable input sensors, monitor ranges, alarm settings and other parameters can be changed via the VM-25S01 Device Config PC software, allowing adaptation to changing monitoring needs without factory modification.

VM-25 Series

Compact DIN-rail mount vibration condition monitor with Modbus/TCP communication. IoT-ready, field-configurable, and expandable up to 8 input channels for general-purpose rotating machinery.

Digital communication (Modbus/TCP)

Standard Ethernet-based Modbus/TCP communication enables integration with PLC, DCS, SCADA and IoT platforms for remote monitoring.

Configurable channel count
