The VCM-3 adds a new dimension of healthcare awareness to all of your balance of plant assets regardless of the industry. This compact, cost-effective unit includes cutting edge technology based on decades of successfully monitoring thousands of machines globally.
The VCM-3 uses specially defined measurements that not only automatically detect developing faults earlier, but also give a diagnostic indication on the type of fault and its severity.
The VCM-3 is one step ahead of all other field devices and is among the most powerful data acquisition and processing field units in the market, and it’s cyber secure.
Cyber-Secure: Secure one-way data flow solutions that do not expose your infrastructure to cyber-attack
Scalable: One hardware platform that can be upgraded as your expertise grows. It has been designed for scalability, so you can get started now with the basic model.
Actionable Insights: ISO “traffic-light” fault alarms show machine health
Easy to Deploy: No expertise required. Our Quick Start guide will get you up and running in no time
- Data management and installation made easy
- VCM-3 is highly flexible and easy to configure
Open Communications: The built-in OPC UA server enables the VCM-3 data to be seamlessly integrated to your DCS, SCADA, data historian and other systems. In fact, the VCM-3 is one of the easiest field devices on the market to install and commission.
