VDS130 Vibration Data Source (MQTT)

4-channel IEPE-to-MQTT vibration data source


Key features

  • Compatible with IEPE accelerometers
  • MQTT digital output
  • Frequency bands align with ISO 10816-3, 20816-3 and 17243 guidelines
  • Multi functionality LED status indicators for VDS and sensors

About the VDS130 Vibration Data Source (MQTT)

The VDS130 is a 4-channel IEPE-to-MQTT vibration data source that converts analog vibration signals from IEPE accelerometers into digitally usable condition-monitoring data for IIoT, cloud, and enterprise systems. It also provides a dedicated tachometer/RPM input to correlate vibration data with speed reference—ideal for rotating machinery and applications where speed-related analysis is required.

Advantages & Added Value

  • Ideal for retrofit: Keep existing analog IEPE sensors while enabling modern MQTT-based integration into digital monitoring platforms.
  • Engineering-grade data: In addition to overall values, the VDS130 can provide time waveforms and FFT spectra up into high-frequency ranges.
  • Easy integration: RJ45 Ethernet plus MQTT for standardized connectivity to brokers, edge gateways, or cloud backends.

Typical applications

  • Condition monitoring for factory automation and system integrators
  • Connecting IEPE sensors to digital vibration monitoring platforms (cloud or on-prem)
  • Rotating equipment with speed reference (e.g., motors, pumps, gearboxes, spindles)

Key specs

  • Inputs: 4× IEPE vibration + 1× RPM input (screw terminals)
  • Measurement / data output:
    - Frequency response up to 40 kHz (±5%), max sampling rate 102.4 kHz
    - Calculated metrics: acceleration / velocity / displacement in selectable bands, true peak, crest
      factor, standard deviation
    - FFT spectra: selectable up to 40 kHz, 6400 lines, windows: rectangular / hanning / flat top
  • Communication: MQTT, RJ45 Ethernet; minimum publish intervals (overall / waveform / spectrum) from 1 minute
  • Power & mechanics: 24 VDC, max 10 W, aluminum housing, DIN-rail mounting (optional back/side panel), −10 to +80 °C, 120×155×34 mm, 420 g
  • Service & operation: status LEDs, reset/restore buttons, USB 3.0 Type-A
