  • Page 15: System Description

    Vigilant is a smart solution for protection, condition monitoring and failure mode identification of critical machinery. It can work as a standalone system, it does not require a permanent connection to a computer or software, while still measuring and protecting the equipment, storing data or even communicating scalar measurements to other systems via Modbus-TCP protocol.

  • Page 16: Design

    All these terminals are to be connected only to SELV-LPS (safety low-voltage) lines. Vigilant also has an RJ45 jack port on the left part of the case’s front for Ethernet communications (100Base-TX). The Ethernet port is to be connected only to indoor routed networks.

  • Page 23: Ground Connection

    9.3 Ground connection All the connectors for the main analog inputs of the Vigilant, and the power input connector, have a terminal for chassis ground connection. All those terminals are connected in between and, in turn, both to the Vigilant case and the DIN rail clip.

  • Page 24: Main Inputs

    The DIN rail can be grounded connecting it directly to the ground bus (as shown above), or by using a rail grounding terminal (shown below). 9.4 Main inputs The main inputs or high-speed inputs of the Vigilant share the following configuration: 23/210...

  • Page 25: Iepe Transducer

    Vigilant User Manual These inputs admit voltage signals in the range of ±24 V (24 Vpp in AC mode). They have been designed to accommodate fast signals coming from sensors like accelerometers, tachometers or displacement probes. Of course, they can also read slower signals like temperature probes or others.

  • Page 26: Periodic Pulse Signal (Tachometer)

    Vigilant User Manual It is recommended to use a shielded cable to avoid noise in the signal, as shown above. Ensure this shield is grounded. To avoid loops and noise, make sure just one of the cable's sides connects to ground. Typically, grounding is done in the cabinet side.

  • Page 27: Ma Input Signal

    Many sensors in the market can use the current loop for powering themselves, without needing any other power source (passive loop). However, the terminals of the Vigilant do not have the possibility of powering the sensors in that way. Thus in between the sensor and Vigilant must add an external power source: It is recommended to use a shielded cable to avoid noise in the signals.

  • Page 28: Conmonsense Sensor 0-10V

    CONMONSense Sensor 0-10v 9.5 Auxiliary inputs The connectors for the auxiliary analog inputs available in the Vigilant-P has the following configuration: The auxiliary inputs admit voltage signals in the range of ±24 V and design to read analog signals at slow rates.

  • Page 29: Periodic Pulse Signal (Tachometer)

    Vigilant User Manual As it is shown in the image, all the auxiliary inputs connectors include a signal ground (0V reference) terminal. All those terminals, labeled as “-”, are connected internally to the circuit 0V reference, and they are also in electrical contact with the negative terminal of the power input.

  • Page 30: Ma Signal

    Vigilant User Manual In case the sensor has a PNP output, the connection would look like this: 9.5.2 4-20 mA Signal Dynamic inputs can be configured to measure 4-20 mA current loop signals. This kind of current loop is an industry-standard used in many applications. They have the advantages of simplicity and noise immunity and have a large international user and equipment supplier base.

  • Page 31: User Interface

    • Connect the Vigilant to your device or network using an Ethernet cable. • Find out the IP address of the unit. By default, the Vigilant is supplied with the following IP address: 192.168.0.150. • Change the IP address of your device, so both are in the same logical Ethernet network (netmask).
