The sensor system is intended as a component for use e.g. in wind power plants to measure and evaluate vibrations in the mast head. Registration of dynamic accelerations by means of MEMS sensors (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) with subsequent digitisation by a controller.The device consists of an acceleration sensor, a controller unit and the output interface PROFIsafe over PROFINET for output of the acceleration values. Thanks to its high resistance to vibration and shock - more than the defined measuring range -, the sensor is suitable for use in areas with rough environmental conditions.Electrical connection is carried out using three connectors.
