New online condition monitoring equipment
September 1st 2004

The new Pulsar online condition monitoring system from Controlstar Systems carries out vibrational analysis of equipment locally or remotely.

Pulsar is a DIN-rail-mounting, modular system comprising a base module that houses the communications and DSP functionality together with up to eight additional modules. Providing 24/7 sentinel operation, the system continuously checks up to 64 different FFT profiles, each of which can be configured with up to four warning/alarm limits in four different frequency bands.

Flexible communication options enable data to be sent from remote sites back to a central point using a dial-up connection, intranet or the internet.

In the event of an alarm, Pulsar alerts the user via dial-up connection or SMS message, in accordance with a configurable rota. Any problems with the operation of the machinery can then be analysed remotely.

The system is supplied complete with a free-issue browser-based software that can support thousands of units.
