Vibration transmitter – iT301

Wilcoxon’s 4-20 mA configurable vibration transmitter module, the iT301, provides an easy means to connect a standard IEPE vibration sensor to a PLC, DCS or SCADA system. The transmitter's input provides power to and measures the signal from either an accelerometer, piezovelocity sensor or dual (vibration and temperature) output sensor.

The input circuitry has a wide frequency response, capable of measuring signals between 0.2 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

iT301 provides the user with field-configurable parameters and dual mappable 4-20 mA outputs. It is also MODBUS/RS485 enabled and contains a single NC/NO relay.

How it works

The iT301 vibration transmitter is field configurable to accept IEPE acceleration, velocity, or temperature measurements and convert to 4-20 mA outputs. A single-page internal web server allows the user to easily modify parameters and define the desired outputs via Ethernet. MODBUS communication, a programmable relay, and dynamic data is also accessible.

Configuration

The iT301 is field configurable through an internal single-page web server that can be accessed via Ethernet. A copy of the web configuration page is shown below illustrating parameters such as sensor sensitivity, frequency bandwidth and 4-20 mA full-scale can be entered. A single NC/NO relay is also available for mapping low/high alarm levels, and MODBUS protocol information is available.
