Analog Devices have a broad range of solutions within its advanced Industry 4.0 roadmap aimed at helping industrial equipment OEMs accelerate their path to Industry 4.0. These new solutions deliver next-generation flexibility, connectivity, and efficiency for today’s existing factory infrastructure. One of these products is the ADcmXL3021 module which is a complete sensing system based on ADI’s award-winning micromechanical (MEMS) sensor technology.
The ADcmXL3021 wide bandwidth, low noise vibration sensor module helps increase productivity and reduces equipment repair by monitoring early indicators of machine fatigue and failure across industrial equipment and transport vehicles. This triaxial vibration sensing module combines the MEMS sensor with several signal processing functions within a compact form factor to simplify development and provide significant bill of materials savings of smart sensor nodes in Condition based Monitoring (CbM) systems.
The ADcmXL3021 is a complete vibration sensing system that combines high performance vibration sensing using MEMS accelerometers with a variety of signal processing functions to simplify the development of smart sensor nodes in CbM systems. The typical ultralow noise density of 26 μg/√Hz in the MEMS accelerometers supports excellent resolution whilst the wide bandwidth, dc to 10 kHz within 3 dB flatness, enables tracking of key vibration signatures on many machine platforms.
ADcmXL3021 Functional Block Diagram
The ADcmXL3021 modules on-board signal processing includes high speed data sampling (220 kSPS), 4096 time sample record lengths, filtering, windowing, fast Fourier transform (FFT), user configurable spectral or time statistic alarms, and error flags. The module includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) providing access to a register structure that contains the vibration data and a wide range of user configurable functions.
The ADcmXL3021 is available in a 23.7 mm × 27.0 mm × 12.4 mm aluminium package with four mounting flanges to support installation with standard machine screws. This robust package provides consistent mechanical coupling to the core sensors over a broad frequency range. The electrical interface is provided by a 14-pin connector on a 36 mm flexible cable, which enables a wide range of location and orientation options for system mating connectors.
