New online approach to condition monitoring

摘要

Regular monitoring of machine health - or condition monitoring - has proven a valuable tool for providing operational continuity, regulatory compliance, safety and reliability of plant operations.rnThe emergence of integrated control technologies is promoting a shift towards integrated condition monitoring (ICM), where the control, protection and condition monitoring elements are merged into a single integrated architecture.rnIn many plants, data collection strategies are likely to follow two distinct paths - one from maintenance and the other from operations.
