Description

Brüel & Kjær Vibron VIBROCONTROL 1100 (VC-1100) is a 2-channel monitoring system for the continuous monitoring of the absolute frame vibration of rotating machinery and the condition of rolling bearings. It detects mechanical faults, such as imbalance, misalignment and the early stages of bearing failure, at a very early stage, thereby preventing serious equipment damage and production downtime.

The VC-1100 combines vibration and bearing condition (BCU, Bearing Condition Unit) measurements in a single compact device designed for industrial use.

Why choose the VIBROCONTROL 1100?

  • Dual-channel monitoring (2×2): Simultaneously monitors both the machine’s overall vibration level and the mechanical condition of the bearings via separate measurement channels.

  • Early detection of bearing damage: A separate bearing condition measurement (BCU) detects bearing impact and wear long before they become apparent in the overall vibration level.

  • Robust IP65 protection: The sturdy aluminium housing is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments without the need for a separate protective enclosure.

  • Easy operation via the control panel: Configuration and viewing of readings can be carried out directly on the unit’s own display and keypad, without the need for a computer or specialised tools.

  • Internal event log (Logbook): The device’s ring buffer stores up to the last 99 events, such as alarm limit exceedances and power failures.

Key features

  • Versatile sensor options: Supports both acceleration sensors (IEPE/CCS) and velocity sensors.

  • Flexible operating modes:

    • 1-channel mode: Continuous, uninterrupted monitoring without channel switching delay.

    • 2-channel mode: Cyclic (multiplexed) monitoring from two different sensors.

  • Versatile outputs: 3 relays for alarms (Warning / Danger) and 1 OK relay for equipment self-calibration and cable monitoring.

  • Analogue outputs: 2 programmable analogue outputs for connection to a higher-level automation system (PLC/DCS).

  • Self-Monitoring & Auto-Calibration: Continuous internal system testing and automatic calibration ensure trouble-free operation.

  • Serial interface: RS-232 interface for computer connection and remote configuration.

Most common applications

The VIBROCONTROL 1100 is ideally suited for monitoring general industrial rotating machinery and bearings:

  • Pumps and blowers

  • Compressors and fans

  • Decanters, separators and centrifuges

  • Mills, mixers and crushers

  • Gearboxes and industrial motors

Technical specifications
