923-Slip Ring Sensor

The Model 923 slip ring sensor is a miniature, ruggedized, health monitoring and data logging system for Focal rotary products.

When installed as an option in Focal’s slip rings, such as the Model 176 or larger units, the Model 923 Slip Ring Sensor provides real-time access to diagnostic information as well as data storage for offloading at a later time. The diagnostic information obtained can be used to determine the overall health of the slip ring. Typically mounted inside the slip ring, the Model 923 Slip Ring Sensor logs measurements from a number of on-board sensors for parameters such as: temperature, slip ring rotations, speed, relative humidity, acceleration (3-axis), and ambient light. Additional sensors can be added through expansion interfaces available on the cards.

Diagnostic readings may be accessed via an RS485 serial link in real time by using Focal™ Graphical User Interface (GUI) software, based on the Microsoft®.NET Framework, or by using a customer’s own software configured to read Modbus RTU format.
