The advanced features now include; Vibration, position and speed parameter trending facilities, including log and view of up to 60 days of data, ‘look back’ at trends and alarms, plus download data for further analysis in Excel.

In addition, it is now possible to view proximity probe gap and vibration transducer bias voltages, to verify correct transducer operation and calibration. A single view page for all warning, danger and health alarms provides rapid feedback on the complete module alarm status.

The G3 system offers up to 24 measurement channels in a 3U format, each channel providing independent analogue outputs of current and voltage for DCS connection, in addition to an alarm relay. Further alarm relay expansion is possible through connection to digital outputs at the rear of the module.

The system is designed for mounting in a custom 19in rack assembly which also contains a dual redundant power supply option.
