VSE150 is a DIN-rail diagnostic controller for machine vibration monitoring. It provides four dynamic inputs for simultaneous vibration sensor connection. The unit supports analogue process inputs and configurable switching outputs. PROFINET communication enables direct integration into industrial automation networks. It is designed for condition-based maintenance of rotating machinery.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
VSE150 processes vibration information from up to four connected sensors. It can support monitoring of unbalance, bearing condition and gear condition. High-speed dynamic acquisition provides detailed vibration information. Process inputs allow additional machine variables to be monitored. This creates a central platform for machine condition assessment.
The four dynamic inputs accept 0…10 mA, IEPE and 4…20 mA signals. Dynamic processing provides 16-bit resolution and 100 kSamples/s sampling. Two additional process-value inputs provide pulse and 4…20 mA measurement capability. The controller can therefore combine dynamic and static machine data. This architecture supports comprehensive machine monitoring.
VSE150 communicates through Ethernet and PROFINET. The interface supports 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet communication. PROFINET provides industrial network integration with automation controllers. Parameterisation is performed through VES004 software. Internal history storage supports long-term condition monitoring.

Condition-based maintenance
Two switching outputs can be configured for machine alarms. Output functions can be configured as normally open or normally closed. The outputs can be used to interface with automation control systems. Analogue output provides continuous measurement transmission. This supports both alarm-based and continuous monitoring strategies.
VSE150 supports maintenance decisions based on actual machine condition. Historical records help identify changes in vibration behaviour. PROFINET allows diagnostic information to reach automation infrastructure. VES004 provides configuration and visualisation capabilities. This reduces dependence on manual inspection routines.
