Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the XM-160 Direct Vibration module,
the XM-161 Direct Vibration with 4-20mA module, and the XM-162 Direct
Vibration with Power module. It also discusses the components of the
modules.
Introducing the XM-160,
XM-161, and XM-162
Modules The XM-160, XM-161, and XM-162 modules are members of the
Allen-Bradley™ XM
®
Series, a family of distributed machine conditioning
monitoring and protection devices that operate both in stand-alone
applications or integrate with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and
control system networks.
The Direct Vibration modules are intelligent 6-channel monitors that are
designed for real time monitoring of overall (direct) vibration levels. Each
module measures and reports the overall vibration level between selected high
and low pass filters, as well as the gap or bias voltage for each channel. The
modules can power and accept input from Integrated Electronics Piezo
Electric (IEPE) accelerometers. They can also accept signals from standard
eddy current probe systems and most standard voltage output measurement
devices such as a velocity or pressure transducer making them well-suited for
general machine monitoring and protection.
The XM-160, XM-161, and XM-162 modules primarily offer the same
capabilities with a few exceptions, including:
• The XM-161 module includes a 4-20mA output for each channel.
• The XM-162 module offers a DC power supply for powering standard
-24V eddy current probe drivers.
