Vibration online monitoring systems are used for reading the vibration on machines continuously. We use devices we call online units. We have two types of them.

First type is online unit A3716.

This unit contains 4 measuring boards. Each of this board has 4 AC channels/4 DC channels and 1 tacho channel. It means that online unit A3716 has 16 AC/DC channels and 4 tacho channels overall. All of the channels allow you to measure and collect data simultaneously.

Second one is online unit A 3800.

The difference between these units is in number of measuring boards. This unit has only one board and by default it can measure 4AC channels/4 DC channels and 1 tacho channel. It can be extended to version where you can use also 16 AC/DC channels and 4 tacho channels. This is configured with a license. As there is used only one board, we use multiplexer for switching in between these channel groups. It means, that only four channels measure simultaneously.
