Vibration Sensor

The Urban.io Vibration Sensor measures relative movement (acceleration) in three (XYZ) axis, giving the user the maximum amplitude of movement in each dimension. In addition the sensor will process the time wave form of each sample, to identify the frequencies at which peak values occur.

Used in conjunction with an Urban.io Gateway the Vibration Sensor will read and transmit XYZ movement amplitude and frequency peak values to the Urban.io Cloud Platform on a near real-time basis.

Measured data is securely displayed within the Urban.io Cloud Platform for reporting purposes. Through the use of dynamic profiles, thresholds can be set for each sensor which can trigger alarms that can be sent via email or SMS.

All recorded sensor data, historical summaries and alarms are made available for use within external software platforms via the IoT Data API

The Urban.io Vibration Sensor samples acceleration every 10 minutes. Time domain samples are converted to speed, then converted to frequency domain. The sensor reports the frequency and amplitude values for the top ten points in each of the X, Y and Z dimensions. Aditionally the total amplitude for each dimension is also reported.
