SM-610-118 Brüel & Kjær Vibro Monitoring Module

Overview

The Brüel & Kjær Vibro SM-610-118 Monitoring Module is a condition monitoring and evaluation module designed for integration into the VIBROCONTROL 6000 machine monitoring and protection platform. It is intended for industrial environments where uninterrupted supervision of rotating machinery is required to detect abnormal operating behavior, reduce unplanned downtime, and support long-term maintenance strategies.

As a member of the SM-610 module family, the SM-610-118 is installed as a plug-in unit inside a VIBROCONTROL 6000 rack. It continuously processes incoming sensor signals and evaluates machine condition parameters against configurable alarm and trip limits. This enables early identification of developing mechanical issues and supports timely intervention before equipment damage occurs.

Monitoring Function and System Role

The SM-610-118 acquires and analyzes signals from condition monitoring sensors commonly installed on industrial rotating assets. These signals are processed internally to determine machine health status and operational stability. When monitored values exceed predefined thresholds, the module supports alarm indication and protective actions through the VIBROCONTROL 6000 system architecture.

Each SM-610 monitoring module operates independently within the rack, ensuring deterministic performance and high system availability. This modular design is critical in industrial installations where machine protection and continuous monitoring must remain dependable under all operating conditions.

Industrial Applications

The Brüel & Kjær Vibro SM-610-118 Monitoring Module is widely used in industries such as power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical processing, and heavy industrial manufacturing. Typical monitored equipment includes pumps, compressors, motors, turbines, fans, and gearboxes, where vibration-related faults can directly impact safety, productivity, and asset lifespan.

Within a VIBROCONTROL 6000 installation, the SM-610-118 contributes to a scalable monitoring architecture that supports both machine protection and predictive maintenance programs across critical assets.

Integration and Scalability

The SM-610-118 integrates with other VIBROCONTROL 6000 components, including PS-610 power supply modules and CI-series communication interfaces. Multiple SM-610 modules can be installed within a single rack, each assigned to specific machines or measurement points. This modular approach allows monitoring systems to expand gradually as plant requirements evolve, without complex redesign or downtime.

Why Use SM-610-118

The SM-610-118 is suitable for industrial users implementing structured machine condition monitoring systems focused on improving equipment reliability and operational efficiency. Its role within the VIBROCONTROL 6000 platform makes it a dependable building block for facilities aiming to reduce maintenance costs and enhance overall plant availability through continuous monitoring.
