Industrial IoT Wireless Vibration And Temperature Sensor

Introducing NCD’s Long Range Industrial IoT wireless vibration and temperature sensor, boasting up to a 2 Mile range using a wireless mesh networking architecture. Incorporating a 16-bit Vibration and Temperature sensor, this sensor transmits highly accurate vibration data at user-defined intervals.

During Power-Up, this vibration sensor learns “normal” base-line vibration from the monitored device.  This base-line vibration is subtracted from regular sampled vibration readings to improve relevant vibration data.  Ideally, the monitored device should be off while the sensor is learning.  Once the sensor stabilizes and starts sending data, the device/machinery being monitored can be powered on.

This Industrial IoT wireless vibration sensor samples 3-axis of Vibration data for 900ms and then calculates RMS, Maximum, and Minimum vibration readings. This sensor combines these data with temperature data in a data packet, and transmits the result to modems and gateways within wireless range.  Once transmission is complete, the vibration sensor goes back to sleep, thus minimizing power consumption.

Powered by just 4 AA batteries and an operational lifetime of 500,000 wireless transmissions, a 10 years battery life can be expected depending on environmental conditions and the data transmission interval.  Optionally, this sensor may be externally powered, making it an ideal choice for wireless vibration monitoring system for industrial equipment.

With an open communication protocol, this sensor transmits hardware encrypted data that can be integrated with just about any control system or gateway.  Data can be transmitted to a PC, a Raspberry Pi, to Losant IoT cloud, Microsoft® Azure® IoT, and an embedded system all at the same time. Sensor parameters and wireless transmission settings can be changed using our free LabVIEW® monitoring software on a desktop PC.

The long range, price, accuracy, battery life and security features of Wireless Vibration Sensor makes it an affordable choice which exceeds the requirements for most of the industrial as well as consumer market applications.

General Vibration Guidelines

Here are some recommended Vibration standards, you can compare these readings with our Long Range IoT Wireless Vibration Temperature Sensor to determine if your device is operating properly or if it may require service (note that actual equipment and application may vary):

A. 0.01g or Less — Excellent condition, No action required

B. 0.35g or less — Good Condition, No action required unless the machine is noisy or running at abnormal temperature

C. 0.5g or less — Fair Condition, No action required unless the machine is noisy or running at abnormal temperature

D. 0.75g or More— Rough Condition, possible action required if machine is noisy and also check the bearing temperature

E. 1g or More  — Very Rough Conditions, further analysis and see if its doing this continuously. Also check for noise and temperature

F. 1.5g or More — Danger Level, there is definitely a problem in the machine or installation. Also check the temperature Log

G. 2.5g or More — Shut-down the Machine immediately and look for possible causes. Call a technician for immediate repair

For Heavy Machinery these readings could be 1.5 times to 2 times more than listed above.

Transmission Interval

This device sends data periodically, based on user-preset timing intervals.

IoT Sensor Data Transmission

NCD IoT Sensors send a lot more than just sensor data.  For instance, a unique serial number is sent so you can always identify a particular sensor on the network.  A Node ID is also included, which a single byte of data that you can use for anything, such as the floor of a building or to help identify which group a sensor belongs to.  Also included in the data packet is a firmware version, battery level, and sensor type.  This allows your software to positively identify and manage the health of NCD IoT wireless sensors.  While signal strength data is also available, it is handled in a different way, and is not included in the sensor data packet (but rest assured, signal strength data for each sensor is available).  Please see the Resources tab to see detailed information on the data structure of this device.  

NCD wireless sensors transmit data and require a receiver.  There are many options available for receiving data from NCD IoT devices, please see below for a in-depth description of destinations available for NCD sensors.  We highly recommend using our USB Modem (available during purchase) so you can monitor this device and use our LabVIEW® software for changing device settings.  Some sensors have advanced settings that can help send alerts when problems are detected while other settings can be used to adjust communication interval, which will directly affect battery life.

How Long will the Batteries Really Last?

Most NCD IoT Sensors are rated for 300,000 to 500,000 transmissions until the batteries become so weak they are unreliable.  You could spread these transmissions out over a 10 year period and send 50,000 transmissions per year.  This would allow up to 136 transmissions per day, or about 5 transmissions per hour (for a 500K sensor, or 3 per hour for 300K sensor).  If you only need the batteries to last 3 years, you could send 166,666 transmissions per year, or about 456 transmissions per day (about 19 transmissions per hour for a 500K sensor).  As you can see, battery life is really up to you.  By altering advanced settings in the NCD IoT sensor, you have control over longevity.  Please note the 500,000 transmission rating is for premium alkaline batteries.  NCD ships all sensors with premium Lithium batteries, which include a ultra-wide temperature range that typically lasts in excess of 600,000 transmissions for some sensor types.  These batteries weigh less than half of alkalines, and they work in the freezer!  A word of caution though, putting a sensor in configuration mode will drain the batteries very quickly.  It’s important to configure your sensors and exit configuration mode as soon as possible or use a external power supply during configuration (if supported by the sensor).  The table below indicates how many Transmissions Per Hour (TPH) your can expect from different sensors over a lifespan of up to 10 years.

Life in Years: 1 Year 2 Years 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
300K Sensor 34 TPH 17 TPH 11 TPH 6 TPH 3 TPH
400K Sensor 45 TPH 22 TPH 15 TPH 9 TPH 4 TPH
500K Sensor 57 TPH 28 TPH 19 TPH 11 TPH 5 TPH
600K Sensor 68 TPH 34 TPH 22 TPH 13 TPH 6 TPH
TPH = Transmissions per Hour

How Do I Change Settings and Examine Raw Sensor Data?

Using our long-range USB wireless modem, users can expect easy operation over a virtual COM port at 115.2K baud.  Simply open the virtual COM port of the USB modem and watch data stream in.  Optionally, we offer a Wireless receiver that operates over Ethernet.  Data from NCD sensors will appear over TCP/IP on port 2101.  Simply open a TCP/IP socket, port 2101, to the IP address of the Ethernet modem and see your data stream in to your local area network.  We have developed LabVIEW® software for each sensor to change advance sensor settings using both Ethernet and USB modems.  Alpha Station also allows display of sensor readings as well as limited configuration (this feature is still in development).  Of course gateways are also available for sending data to popular cloud platforms such as Amazon® AWS® IoT, Microsoft® Azure® IoT, and Losant (more information below).  We take software samples seriously, so be sure to to check out the “Resources” tab to see code samples for Raspberry Pi, Visual Studio, LabVIEW®, Arduino, Python, and more.

What Frequency Do I Need?

During purchase, you will see three frequency options.  Not all options are legal for use in all areas, so it’s important to make the right selection during purchase.  We will build your product and accessories based on the options chosen.  Here, we will explain these options in much greater detail, but please check your local laws BEFORE purchase.

 

900MHz for North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico)

  If you are located in North America, the 900MHz Option will provide the longest range currently supported with the best penetration through walls, buildings, industrial equipment, and trees.  This option is also the best choice for long range applications.  The official Line of Sight rating for this option is 2 Miles with included antennas or 28 Miles with high-gain antennas.  We suggest contacting Digi.com for a high-gain antenna recommendation if required.  Please check your local laws before choosing this option.
 

868MHz for Europe Only

  If you are located in Europe, the 868MHz Option is the only legal choice available at this time.  This option offers better penetration through walls, builds, trees, and industrial equipment that 2.4GHz.  The official line of site rating for this option is 14.5km using 2.1dBi antennas.  Please check your local laws before choosing this option.
 

2.4GHz for Worldwide Use (Except Europe)

  The 2.4GHz option should be chosen if 900MHz and 868MHz are not legal for use in your country.  Please note this particular module is NOT LEGAL for use in Europe, as it has a higher transmission power than is legally allowed at 2.4GHz.  This option is certified for use in the United States, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and South Korea.  Please check your local laws before choosing this option.

Where do I send my IoT Sensor Data?

IoT Sensor Data can be sent anywhere you need it.  Whether you need IoT sensor data on a desktop computer, an IoT cloud platform, or an embedded platform, we have you covered.  NCD IoT sensors broadcast data, so data handling is very easy, expandable, and versatile.  Send IoT sensor data to Gateways when you want to talk directly to IoT cloud platforms.  Send IoT Sensor data to Modems when you want to talk to local computers.  Of course you can always send data to both gateways and modems simultaneously, so you always have access to your sensor data locally and remotely.  Use multiple Gateways when you need data redundancy or if you need to send sensor data to multiple IoT cloud platforms.  

IoT Sensor Clusters are also possible.  You can build a cluster of IoT sensors on every floor of a high-rise building, sending data to gateways and modems on each floor.  Clustering makes it possible to keep your IoT sensor data separated for easier management.  Each Gateway and Modem can be configured to listen to a different cluster of IoT sensors.  Because NCD devices support thousands of clusters, expanding your IoT sensor network is virtually limitless.
