Rockwell Automation Offers New Vibration Monitoring Solution

New Allen-Bradley XM-720 Machine Vibration Monitor combines versatility and easy-to-use features to deliver a complete monitoring and protection system

Milwaukee, WI — The new Allen-Bradley XM-720 Machine Vibration Monitor from Rockwell Automation delivers cost-effective monitoring and protection of critical plant-floor assets, while providing manufacturers with a scalable, packaged solution that can be easily integrated into a plant's control and information system. The new XM-720 monitor is the latest addition to the Allen-Bradley XM Series line of machinery protection and condition monitoring modules designed for machinery requiring continuous online monitoring, such as motors, fans, pumps and blowers.

"The XM-720 machine monitor was designed for OEMs, integrators, and end users who want an easy-to-order, complete packaged product for machinery monitoring and protection," said Ralph DeLisio, business manager, Integrated Condition Monitoring, Rockwell Automation. "Because the XM-720 is a packaged solution, it's easy to install, operate and maintain. It's also the perfect solution for those customers who are looking to replace their older system."

The XM-720 monitor includes a measurement module, three relays, a front panel display and power supply in a compact package. Configurable for operation as a stand-alone module or deployed on an open standard industrial bus, the XM-720 allows plant engineering and maintenance personnel to continuously and cost-efficiently monitor and protect critical plant-floor assets. The modular and open design of XM machine condition monitoring and protection technology allows users to expand the XM-720 system to include other modules or to link the device into a broader system easily.
