Automatic monitoring of critical machinery
May 1st 2005 As seen at the Hanover Fair Pruftechnik has launched the Vibroweb, a new automated monitoring system for production-critical machines and systems. Vibroweb is autonomous, running without PC connection that makes it particularly suitable for applications in distributed and out of the way machine parks (pump stations etc). The modular and flexible system configuration keeps investment and installation costs low and also enables the economic integration of Vibroweb into existing monitoring infrastructures. Vibroweb designed to allow the logical connection of almost every type of sensor. The signal conditioning for each channel is carried out with the aid of plug-in cards.
Of the 32 analogue measurement channels, two can be measured simultaneously, with other channels available for RPM measurements and for digital inputs and outputs. As all the sensors are constantly supplied with power, the channel change over times and thus also the duration of a measurement cycle are minimal.
Vibroweb applications include all machines with rotating parts, especially aggregates that work with variable RPM or under varying load conditions. If the measured values are too high, Vibroweb carries out the necessary diagnostic measurement itself, where the system takes different operating states into account. If an alarm condition is detected, Vibroweb informs the technician via email or SMS and attaches the relevant data to an email. The evaluation and archiving of the data is carried out with the OMNITREND PC software. More articles from Pruftechnik Limited: |
