Chapter 7: System description

The system comprises three main components:
 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor – for wireless collection of vibration
measurements and temperature
 3503 Wireless Gateway – for transmitting measurenment data
 Accelix™ Data Platform – for analysis and storage of measurement data

3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor

The sensor is a battery-operated triaxial sensor that uses two MEMS sensors and a
piezoelectric sensor. Measurements are made in three orthogonal directions (X, Y,
and Z-axis). The two MEMS sensors are used to measure low frequency vibrations
in the X and Y orthogonal axes. The piezoelectric sensor measures both low and
high frequency vibrations in the Z-axis which is the main sensing axis. The sensor
measures also temperature data.
Types of measurement
The sensor makes the following measurements:
 Vibration measurements that include RMS and zero-to-peak (supported
measurement quantities are velocity and acceleration)
 Time waveform
 Temperature
The measurements are then sent to the gateway using a low energy wireless
protocol.
