Allen-Bradley 1440-VDRS06-06RH XM Vibration Monitoring Module

Allen-Bradley 1440-VDRS06-06RH XM Vibration Monitoring Module

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1440-VDRS06-06RH is an XM-161 Overall Vibration Monitoring Module from Rockwell Automation’s XM Condition Monitoring product family. It is designed for continuous vibration monitoring of rotating machinery, collecting vibration signals from IEPE accelerometers and providing machine health data for predictive maintenance applications.

This module provides 6 vibration input channels, supports DeviceNet communication, and includes isolated 4–20 mA output channels for integration with PLC, DCS, and monitoring systems.
