VCM-3 adds a new dimension of system health awareness to your assets, whether it be balance-of-plant, non-critical machines and even isolated, critical machines. Compact, cost-effective, cutting-edge technology based on decades of expertise and a customer base of thousands of monitoring systems that are successfully watching over machines worldwide. As an optimal condition monitoring solution, it helps turn vibration data into real business value.
VCM-3 is one step ahead of all other field devices. It 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. We packed over 20 years of condition monitoring experience into that little box to make your life easier.
VCM-3 is among the most powerful secure data acquisition and processing field units in the market. It has been designed for scalability, so you can started now with the standard model and upgrade as your monitoring experience and requirements grow.
The VCM-3 system is designed to cost-effectively optimize machinery asset health.. It integrates seamlessly with the OSIsoft® PI System®, as well as other historians and plant-wide databases. It also connects to our cloud-based solution, for applications where client expertise is limited, or no data monitoring infrastructure exists.
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, VCM-3 is one of the easiest field devices on the market to install and commission.
VCM-3 can add a new dimension of health awareness on your assets, turning vibration monitoring data into real business value.
VCM-3 data can be fully integrated with VC-8000 data and fed directly into SETPOINT® CMS for a plant-wide solution encompassing machine protection and condition monitoring for both critical and Balance of Plant machinery assets.

The VCM-3 is available in different options, depending on the type of installation required
The 2 main options are: Standard Template & Custom Template
Standard Template is included with all VCM-3 purchases and covers simple, fixed speed machines such as Fans, Pumps Motors and Blowers, offering basic monitoring functionality. This does not require customization and is ready to use out of the box.
A Custom Template service is available when the STANDARD template doesn’t meet your needs. There are three versions of Custom Template serving a customized Asset Health Monitoring Strategy: CORE, COMPONENT and CHANGE
The third custom template CHANGE allows for minor edits and fine-tuning to existing templates.
In addition, the above versions can be specified as ATEX certified for hazardous installations, or with an IP66 rated field housing when requiring protection from the elements.
