Sensor Recommendation for Vibration and Motion Detection

Jayk

Hi,

 

We are developing a product/device that is mounted on a machine/vehicle that generates vibrations when in the ON state. We need a sensor that can

 

1.. Detect vibration start and stop while the device is stationary, with good accuracy, to determine when the machine is ON and for how long.

2. Differentiate between vibration and actual motion, meaning it should detect when the device is no longer stationary and has started moving in any direction in on condition with vibration.

3. Detect motion in the OFF state, where the machine is off (no vibration), but the device itself has started moving and trigger an interrupt to alert the MCU.

 

Note: We can measure and predefine the acceleration threshold that should be considered as vibration.

 

Is there a sensor with an internal mechanism that can directly provide output to differentiate between vibration and motion?

 

Thanks,

 

Jay
