Description
⚙️ GEISLINGER GMS-MARK4 is a fourth-generation Geislinger Monitoring System designed for continuous monitoring of torsional vibration in marine and other powertrain applications. The system measures torsional vibration amplitudes, provides alarm indications when configured limits are reached, and also displays engine speed and operating hours.
The GMS Mark4 is built around three main components: digital sensors, a junction box, and a system unit. It can monitor parameters such as free-end torsional vibration, filtered vibration orders, and damper twist, making it suitable for condition monitoring of crankshafts, shafts, dampers, and couplings.

🔗 System Integration
The GMS-MARK4 can operate as part of a marine engine condition-monitoring architecture. Digital sensors collect torsional-vibration information from the monitored drivetrain and transmit the signals through the junction box to the system unit, where measurements are processed and displayed.
The system unit provides four relay outputs for warning, alarm, spare functions, and GMS system failure. A 4–20 mA output can transmit a measured value for remote indication, while the RS232 interface can be used for PC-based measurement recording and system setup.
For replacement applications, verify the system-unit type, works number, programmed monitoring configuration, sensor arrangement, junction-box wiring, and installation-specific settings before commissioning. Geislinger also confirms that its newer analytics platform can accept manually uploaded data from previous GMS generations including GMS Mk4.
