ST's newly launched IIS3DWB vibration sensor and supporting circuit board STEVAL-STWINKT1 multi-sensor evaluation kit can speed up the development cycle of the machine operating condition monitoring system. The condition monitoring system can infer equipment maintenance needs and improve industrial production efficiency. Analyzing the monitored vibration data locally or in the cloud can help companies formulate reasonable operating strategies to maximize machine uptime, minimize maintenance costs, and avoid emergency repairs.

IIS3DWB is a 3-axis MEMS [1] accelerometer optimized for industrial vibration monitoring. STEVAL-STWINKT1 evaluation board integrates IIS3DWB and other sensors, ultra-low power microcontroller and vibration processing algorithm, Bluetooth? Wireless module and USB interface can simplify prototype design and product testing. The kit uses a plastic case with a battery inside, which can be used immediately for application development and provides a simple and easy-to-use reference design. The kit comes with software tools such as high-speed data loggers and cloud dashboards to help collect, analyze, and display measurement results.

Alessandro Cremonesi, vice president of research and application at STMicroelectronics, said: "Machine condition monitoring is essential for industrial digital transformation. It can not only help factories improve manufacturing performance and production safety, but also enable new services and business models. We The vibration sensor and IIoT multi-sensor development kit and reference design are the best performing and most affordable solutions on the market today, helping customers achieve high performance and cost-effective plug-and-play industrial sensor systems.

STMicroelectronics is already delivering IIS3DWB to the industrial Internet of Things technology innovator SPM Instruments in Sweden for its battery-powered AIRIUS wireless vibration sensor. Rikard Svard, Global Sales Director of SPM Instruments, commented: "We chose IIS3DWB because it can integrate unique features in a low-power digital device, including 3-axis sensors, wide bandwidth and low noise, which helps We achieve the performance, development cycle and cost targets set for AIRIUS. "

The IIS3DWB vibration monitoring system-level package is now in production, using a 14-lead plastic land grid array (LGA) package.
