The VDS130 is a powerful new vibration data source that bridges industrial-grade IEPE sensors with modern IoT and cloud analytics platforms via MQTT, the industry-standard lightweight messaging protocol. It’s designed for IIoT, condition monitoring, and vibration analytics — and it brings high-resolution data from legacy sensors into digital ecosystems with ease.
What Is the VDS130?
The VDS130 is a 4-channel IEPE to MQTT converter that functions as a scalable vibration data source for digital monitoring systems. It accepts up to four industrial accelerometers and a tachometer input for RPM/rotational reference — all delivered over network protocols that integrate with analytics platforms, dashboards, enterprise systems, or cloud services.
Key Features & Benefits
MQTT-Ready for Digital Ecosystems
Unlike traditional analog vibration solutions, the VDS130 outputs data over MQTT — making it ideal for cloud-based condition monitoring, edge analytics, and IoT implementations.
High-Resolution Vibration Data – No Compromise
The device preserves the analog signal resolution from IEPE sensors, delivering rich time waveform and frequency spectrum data (FFT) up to 40 kHz — critical for detecting early-stage faults and advanced diagnostics.
Calculated Vibration Metrics
The VDS130 computes and publishes a suite of calculated vibration metrics — including acceleration, velocity, displacement, crest factor, true peak, and standard deviation — giving you actionable insights without extra processing.
Broad Sensor Compatibility
Supports a wide range of industrial sensors — from general-purpose accelerometers to high-frequency and harsh-environment models — enabling seamless integration with existing installations or new builds. Retrofit & New Deployment Ready
Whether you’re upgrading legacy analog systems or designing a new digital architecture, the VDS130 provides a robust bridge between trusted IEPE sensor technology and modern MQTT-based condition monitoring.
Built-In Configuration & Monitoring
The Device Center is a built-in, browser-based interface for configuration, commissioning, and health checking. With it you can:
- Set network and MQTT parameters
- Configure per-channel measurement settings
- View live sensor data and published MQTT topics
- Update firmware without external tools
This means no proprietary software required — everything you need to manage and validate device operation is right in your browser.
Where It Fits in Your System
The VDS130 isn’t just a sensor — it’s an integration point. Paired with IEPE accelerometers, it streams structured JSON data over MQTT directly into:
- Asset management systems
- Cloud analytics platforms
- Edge gateways / industrial PCs
- Dashboards and visualization tools
- AI models for predictive maintenance
This architecture unlocks advanced monitoring without heavy custom engineering.
Why IEPE + MQTT Matters
Analog IEPE sensors have decades of proven performance across industrial environments — from motors and pumps to gearboxes and turbines. But traditionally, their data was confined to local acquisition systems.
With the VDS130, you can preserve that rugged, high-bandwidth sensing and stream it into modern, MQTT-centric monitoring frameworks — unlocking remote access, cloud analytics, and automated insights.
