SHINKAWA VM-21P1 Signal Conditioner 0-50MM 24VDC



Small size signal converter that makes CBM (Condition Based Maintenanc) familiar.

The VM-21 receives signals from transducers mounted on rotating machines and converts them into isolated 4-20mA DC signals or 1-5V DC signals.

The latest technology for maintaining safety in large industrial complexes.

Up to now, plant maintenance was performed according to the TBM (Time Based Maintenance) system, that is, a preventive maintenance schedule was set up based on the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) obtained by analyzing the data of past failures.

However, examined from the aspect of cost, this method results in long maintenance cycles as well as reduced productivity and increased maintenance costs due to plant stoppages. And from the aspect of safety, the potential of an unforeseen breakdown touching off a major accident should be kept in mind.

The CBM (Condition Based Maintenance) system is a new maintenance system that satisfies the difference requirements for plant safety and efficiency and has rapidly been gaining popularity in recent years.

In this system, trouble is detected early by continuous monitoring of the condition of the equipment,

 i. e., maintenance can be performed before trouble actually occurs.

Other topical concepts aimed at unmanned maintenance and reduction of maintenance costs include centralized monitoring through continuous monitoring systems, DCS (Distributed Control System) and different means of data acquisition.

The VM‑21 series, still more compact and fully geared to satisfy the requirements of engineers making the move toward continuous monitoring systems. A new trendsetter in plant maintenance
