STMicroelectronics IIS3DWB vibration sensor and STEVAL-STWINKT1 multisensor evaluation kit

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics is powering the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications with a vibration-sensing solution optimised to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment.

ST’s IIS3DWB vibration sensor and supporting STEVAL-STWINKT1 multisensor evaluation kit are designed to accelerate development of condition-monitoring systems that boost productivity by inferring equipment maintenance needs. Analysing the sensed vibration data locally or in the cloud should help owners create strategies that maximise uptime, minimise servicing costs and avoid emergency repairs.

The IIS3DWB is a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer optimised for industrial vibration sensing. The STEVAL-STWINKT1 simplifies prototyping and testing by integrating the IIS3DWB with additional sensors, an ultralow-power microcontroller and algorithms for vibration processing, Bluetooth wireless module and USB connection. Housed in a plastic enclosure with a battery, the kit is ready to begin application development and presents a convenient reference design. High-speed data-logger and cloud-dashboard utilities are included to help collect, analyse and visualise the results.
