Carbon brush monitoring platform for multiple generators and motors
i-BRUSH® 2.0 Multiple is designed to monitor carbon brushes inside up to six industrial generators and motors. The system helps operators follow key brush and machine conditions in real time, including brush wear, temperature, current and vibrations.
Built for demanding industrial environments, i-BRUSH 2.0® Multiple gives maintenance teams better insight into brush performance, helping support planned maintenance, reduce unplanned stops and improve operational reliability.
Monitor up to 6 generators or motors
The i-BRUSH 2.0 Multiple Base Unit is designed to monitor multiple machines from a single system. As standard, the system supports monitoring of 3 generators or motors and can be expanded to a maximum of 6 machines.
In addition to brush monitoring, the system also measures enclosure temperature and humidity, providing valuable information about the local installation environment.
Monitored parameters
- Carbon brush wear
- Temperature
- Current
- Vibration
- Enclosure temperature
- Humidity
Local operation & secure connectivity
Designed for reliable operation in industrial environments, i-BRUSH® 2.0 Multiple includes local data storage and a locally hosted HMI server. The system can continue operating independently while maintaining access to monitoring data and alarms.
Features
- Internal data storage for offline operation
- Locally hosted HMI server
- Pre-installed software and alarm settings
- Optional secure internet connectivity for remote monitoring
Benefits & Features
Multi-Machine Monitoring
Monitor up to 6 generators or motors from a single system. The i-BRUSH 2.0 Multiple System continuously monitors carbon brush wear, temperature, current and vibration, providing a centralized overview of brush condition across multiple assets.
Improved Maintenance Planning
Continuous condition monitoring helps maintenance teams plan service activities based on actual operating conditions. Pre-configured alarms and historical data support early detection of brush wear and developing machine issues.
Reliable Local Operation
Internal data storage and a locally hosted HMI server ensure continued operation even without internet access. Monitoring data remains available locally, supporting reliable supervision in all operating conditions.
Secure Connectivity & Integration
Secure WAN/LAN communication enables system access and software updates. Optional 4G connectivity and PLC integration via Modbus TCP/IP and HTTPS allow seamless integration into existing plant infrastructure.
Designed for Industrial Environments
Developed for industrial generators and motors, the system also measures enclosure temperature and humidity, providing additional insight into environmental conditions that may affect brush performance and machine reliability.
Flexible system architecture
The system can be configured with several accessories depending on the application, machine layout and installation distances.
