MX5000 Sensor Interface Module (SIM)

The MX5000-SIM Signal Interface Module is a next generation DIN rail mounted Smart Vibration Signal
Conditioner and Monitoring System. It has been designed to accept signals from machine casing mounted velocity sensors, accelerometers, 4-20 mA process data sensors, or shaft observing proximity probe systems, and produce a 4-20 mA output proportional to the measured variable as well as the dynamic signal. It provides the user with a configurable signal input type for one to four independent channels.

It also has the ability to stack MX5000-SIM modules to add additional channels, up to 6 modules or 24 channels. For each channel, a green LED indicates sensor and cable integrity. In the event of sensor failure, the LED changes to red and the output current is driven below 3.6 mA, thereby signaling a malfunction. The alarm status of each channel is indicated by the LED flashing yellow for Alert and flashing red for Danger. A BNC connector gives access to the dynamic input signal prior to any processing for local analysis. Isolation is provided between input, outputs and supply. In the MX5000-SIM, there are four Solid-State relays which can be configured with AND/OR logic from any channel’s Alert or Danger status. There is a dedicated LED for each relay to indicate status. The alarm levels and relays can be configured using the free Metrix MX5000 software downloaded from the website.
