Condition monitoring device for monitoring the condition of a mechanical machine component

An input output link (IO-Link) condition monitoring device for monitoring a condition of a mechanical machine component, comprising:

• a vibration sensor configured to detect mechanical vibrations on the mechanical machine component;
• a first input configured to connect at least one external temperature sensor configured to record at least one temperature of the mechanical machine component, wherein the first input comprises a plurality of resistant temperature detection (RTD) lines configured to connect to at least one external resistance temperature sensor;
• a controller coupled to the vibration sensor and configured to determine the condition of the mechanical machine component based at least in part on measurement data generated by the vibration sensor, wherein the controller is configured to determine the condition of the mechanical machine component based at least in part on measurement data from the first input;
• a first analog-to-digital (A/D) converter configured to detect a voltage drop at the plurality of resistant temperature detection lines and relay a digital value of the voltage drop to the controller;
• and
• a wired IO-Link communication interface coupled to the controller and configured to communicate with an external control device, wherein:
• the controller is configured to operate as a slave in a master/slave operation and to be controlled via the wired IO-Link communication interface, and
• 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 IO-Link wired communication interface;
• wherein the condition of the mechanical component is classified as one of:
• no damage, slight predamage, or defective.
