  • Page 8: Product Description

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Product Description Product Description Function The following vibration sensor versions are described in this manual: Device version Vibration variable Bearing status Pre-alarm and Window parameter main alarm function VIM8***-**B**-***-******* Vibration acceleration – VIM8***-**C**-***-******* Vibration speed –...
  • Page 9 Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Product Description Device with Pre-Alarm and Main Alarm The device evaluates the vibration amplitude in two independent channels. If the vibration variable is exceeded, this is signaled at the switching contacts. The switching contacts can be used to generate a pre-alarm and a main alarm. Figure 2.1 Vibration sensor with pre-alarm and main alarm Relay contact output R1...

  • Page 11: Planning

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Planning Planning Assumptions The following assumptions have been made during the FMEDA: • The vibration sensor was developed as High Demand System. • The device corresponds to a 1oo1 architecture with a diagnostic coverage of > 90 %. The diagnostics are permanent and automatic during operation and the start-up phase of monitoring.
  • Page 12: Safety Function And Safe State

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Planning Safety Function and Safe State Safe State In the event of a fault that cannot be corrected (e. g. hardware defect, or vibration in resonance with the sensor), the sensor will switch to the safe state. This state can only be exited by power cycling.

  • Page 14: Mounting, Installation And Commissioning

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Mounting, Installation and Commissioning Mounting, Installation and Commissioning Mounting and Installing the Device with Pre-Alarm and Main Alarm Observe the safety instructions in the instruction manual. Observe the information in the manual. Observe the requirements for the safety loop. Connect the device only to devices that are suitable for this safety application.
  • Page 15: Parameterization

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Mounting, Installation and Commissioning Parameterization Parameterizing the Device The device is parameterized via HEX switches LIM1, LIM2 and TIME. The HEX switches are on the front of the device. The safety function is disabled during the parameterization. Take measures to maintain the safety function while the device is being parameterized.

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Operation Operation Danger! Danger to life from missing safety function If the safety loop is put out of service, the safety function is no longer guaranteed. • Do not deactivate the device. • Do not bypass the safety function. •...
  • Page 17: Proof Test And Self-Diagnostics

    Functional Safety Vibration Sensor VIM8* Operation Proof Test and Self-Diagnostics The sensor has a set of self-diagnostic measures. These are divided into 2 categories: Start-up Diagnostics These tests are only run in the sensor’s initial start-up phase. Among other things, hardware-critical pathways are tested here that cannot be switched off once the device is in operation.
  • Page 18: Maintenance And Repair

    Report all failures in the safety function that are due to functional limitations or a loss of device function – especially in the case of possible dangerous failures. In these cases, contact your local sales partner or the Pepperl+Fuchs technical sales support (service line).
