  • Patent number: 12241806
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a condition monitoring device for monitoring a condition of a mechanical machine component. The condition monitoring device may include a vibration sensor configured to detect mechanical vibrations on the mechanical machine component; a controller coupled to the vibration sensor and configured to determine a condition of the mechanical machine component based at least in part on measurement data generated by the vibration sensor; and a wired communication interface coupled to the controller and configured to communicate with an external control device, wherein, based at least in part on a request to provide information about the condition of the mechanical machine component, the controller is configured to transmit the requested information via the wired communication interface.
    Type: Grant
