An Expandable Vibration Monitoring Solution for the Complete Range of Manufacturing Businesses

摘要

This paper will describe a prototype vibration monitoring system, which has been designed to aid expansion from a simple manual data collector/analyser system, monitoring the state of vibration of a single machine, up to an automatic multi site monitoring system with remote indication of abnormal machine conditions. Controlled by a central supervisory computer the system is capable of collecting time domain vibration data from TCP/IP and wireless LAN networked data acquisition units, storing and analysing the data in the frequency domain and indicating abnormalities to local annunciators and via SMTP and GSM to remote system administrators. It is envisaged that the development system therefore aids the viability of implementing vibration monitoring practices since it provides a method for staggered implementation of monitoring and subdivides the common maintenance benefit cost ratio judgment.
