Sensonics AEGIS Machine Protection Unit - Multi-channel installed vibration monitoring and machine protection system

Sensonics AEGIS Machine Protection Unit - The Sensonics AEGIS vibration monitoring and machine protection system continuously and reliably supervises and protects rotating machinery. After installation and configuration, the Sensonics AEGIS continuously and automatically, thanks to its robust system, performs machine protection tasks flawlessly without maintenance. To ensure the faultless operation of the Sensonics AEGIS, it performs continuous self-checks on each channel and the connected measurement circuits.

• modular, configurable, flexible system structure
• applicable to all types and designs of rotating machinery
• display of vibration, temperature, and other parameters
• indication and alarm display with LEDs per channel
• two adjustable delay relays per channel
• independent (galvanically isolated) channels
• continuous module and sensor monitoring per channel
• remote controllable functions, such as external alarm acknowledgment
• analog outputs for analysis and archiving per channel

The Sensonics AEGIS system has a modular structure. Each channel module is completely independent from the others, galvanically isolated, equipped with its own power supply, preamplifier corresponding to the attached sensor or process parameter, sensor supply or signal conditioning, analog and relay outputs, as well as front panel indicator LEDs and control buttons. There are channel modules for receiving vibration, displacement, temperature, speed, and other process parameter signals, as well as 3 ½ or 4 ½ digit display modules for data visualization.
