BluVib Field Trial Kit

Issue R · June 2026. Specification subject to change without notice.

A field trial kit to enable a faster turnaround time for developing and evaluating condition-monitoring solutions. Configure and read data from sensors before having to write a line of custom code.

Overview

An industrial gateway running Linux, configured with the Sensor-Works ReST API, lets you set up sensors and read, view, store and export vibration and temperature data.

High performance

Outstanding measurement capability for verifying setups and sensor measurements.

Field trial starter

Configure and read data from sensors before writing custom code. Verify, test and control sensors during code development.

Rugged

Suitable for harsh industrial conditions; the sensor is corrosion resistant. Drop test 1.8 m (6 ft), water and dust resistant (IP65).

Cellular ready

Worldwide LTE modem for remote trials, plus low-power radio and power management for long sensor battery life.

What’s included

Item	Details
Gateway	Compulab IOTG (cellular ready) with power supply — pre-loaded with the Sensor-Works ReST API application
Sensors	2 × BluVib-M-A — MEMS triaxial, aluminium base
Sensor activation	Magnet “ON” fob, including magnetic mount
Required (not supplied)	Mouse, keyboard, HDMI cable & monitor

Simple start-up

Verify setups and sensor measurements.

Set up the sensor configuration via the API

Apply operating mode, sample rate and trace length.

Fix sensors to your machine or test rig

Use a magnet, or screw to a mount.

Wake the sensor using the "ON Key" magnet

Provided in the kit.

View sensor data

Vibration and temperature, via the built-in browser interface.

Power down sensors between development stages

Preserve battery life while not measuring.

ReST API web interface

A built-in interface accessed from a browser. Sensors appear in the Devices list and can be added to the whitelist.

Control	Function
Operating Mode	Sets the operating mode by selecting one of the available options.
Sample Rate	Selects the rate (in Hertz) at which the signal is sampled.
Trace Length	The number of data points to be sampled.
Wakeup Interval	Time (in seconds) the sensor sleeps. At the end of this period it wakes and performs a measurement using the Sample Rate and Trace Length.
Trigger Level	(Wakeup+ only) Trigger level (g) at which the sensor wakes and takes a measurement.
Trigger Delay	(Wakeup+ only) Number of data points to store before the trigger event.
Save	Saves the selected parameters to the sensor.
Connect / Disconnect	If autoconnect is disabled, connects or disconnects the gateway from the device (the device must be advertising to connect).
Start / Stop Capture	In Manual Mode, instructs the device to start or stop measuring.
Restart	Restarts the device software in the event of an issue.
Power Down	Turns the device off; it can then only be reactivated using the magnet.
Factory Reset	Restores the factory settings.
Clear All Captures	Removes all stored data on the gateway for this device.
Previous / Next	Displays the previous or next measurement stored on the gateway.
Export	Exports the time-series data for the current measurement as a CSV file.
