vbOnline Pro

Fact Sheet
The vbOnline Pro provides automated, user-scheduled monitoring of
an asset’s health. It is a flexible and scalable system fully supported
by the next evolution of BHGE’s System 1* condition monitoring and
diagnostics software. The system assists in the early detection of
machinery and process problems. The vbOnline Pro provides economic
vibration monitoring for mid- and low-level criticality assets. The device
is easy to install and configure.

Machinery Applications Hardware Key Features

• Wired Ethernet connection
and events
• Blowers • 24-bit A/D conversion
• Centrifuges • State based data storage and alarming
• Cooling tower fans and pumps
Software Key Features
• Motors
The vbOnline Pro and System 1 software complement your predictive maintenance program by
• Small Reciprocating Compressors performing cost effective data collection and condition monitoring analysis.
• Small hydro & steam turbines System 1 software is the core of GE’s Bently Nevada* condition monitoring solution.
It is an innovative approach to provide users with a single ecosystem for plant-wide
machinery management.

Capability User Experience

System 1 provides scale when it comes to Modern consumer software applications have
database management, diagnostics, and pushed the envelope when it comes to user
work prioritization. experience; we believe the same expectations
apply for industrial CM applications.
• High resolution trends and alarming
• Modern and intuitive interface
• Short-term “black box” flight recorder for
trend data • Continuous user involvement

• Anti-friction rolling element bearings • User-driven CM and diagnostic workflows

• Diagnostic reporting
