Part 02 · The motor · Sensor Watch

Hear the bearing before it gets loud.

Wireless vibration and temperature sensors, plus PLC tags and energy meters, report every 10 minutes. Sensor Watch draws the trend for each machine and raises an alarm when it leaves its band.

What it does

Sensor Watch, part by part

Wireless vibration and temperature sensors, plus readings from PLCs and energy meters, with trends, bands and alarms per machine.

SW-02.01

Wireless sensors

Triaxial vibration and temperature sensors with a battery life of up to 5 years at 10-minute readings.

SW-02.02

PLC and SCADA tags

Read motor current, pressure, flow and run-hours over Modbus TCP or OPC UA, without touching control logic.

SW-02.03

Alarm bands

Alert and trip levels per machine class, following ISO 10816 vibration severity guidance as a starting point.

SW-02.04

Spectrum on demand

Capture a high-resolution spectrum when a trend rises, so engineers can see the defect frequency.

SW-02.05

Run-hour counters

Count actual running hours from current or PLC status to drive run-hour based PM.

SW-02.06

Gateway buffering

If the network drops, the gateway stores up to 7 days of readings and uploads them later.

Sequence of operation

How it runs in your plant

  1. 1

    Mount

    Fix sensors with a magnet or a stud on bearing housings. No wiring on the machine.

  2. 2

    Pair

    Scan the sensor and the asset QR to link them.

  3. 3

    Baseline

    Sensor Watch learns normal levels for each machine over about 14 days.

  4. 4

    Alarm

    Readings outside the band notify the right engineer on phone and email.
