ACCOMMODATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENSORS IN VIBRATION MONITORING SYSTEM USING EXTERNAL INPUT OR DAUGHTER BOARD WITH INTERCHANGEABLE OPERATING HARDWARE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate sensor change of a controller of a monitoring system.SOLUTION: In the monitoring system, a first printed circuit board includes an electrical circuit and signal processing hardware. A first sensor has first operating parameters and is in electrical communication with a second printed circuit board, and the second printed circuit board includes signal processing hardware configured to process a signal. The second printed circuit board is in electrical communication with the first printed circuit board through a connector. The connector is configured to permit insertion and removal of a third printed circuit board to operate a second sensor having second operating parameters that differ from the first operating parameters of the first sensor.
