RF SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

ABSTRACT:
Vibration and temperature are one of the most critical parameters of a system. Detail
analysis of these parameters is a must to ensure smooth working and maintenance of
machines. Traditional methods of analyzing these parameters include methods like using
RTDs for temperature and use of piezoelectric crystals for the pickup of vibrations. The
outputs of these sensors are electrical in nature and as in most cases the control room is
located far away from the machines. Hence these requires cabling which introduce noise
increases cost and does not facilitate maintenance of the machines with ease.
The R! "mart #onitor allows the user to remotely collect vibration and temperature
data on a wide variety of machine components without cabling by using smart R!
transceivers which greatly reduces interference. $t has no restrictions such as line % of %
sight and can be used for long range communications. &n H'( or a full featured )*)+ is
used to collect data and for field analysis. The R,#ware is used for detailed analysis.
The smart R! sensors can withstand any severe industrial conditions. The R!
"mart"ensors is used to access tough and hazardous machines and equipment that have a
wide range of movement.
