Many condition monitoring systems and toots for vibration monitoring and analysis are restricted purely to vibration data. Integrating these tools into the iba process data acquisition creates unique possibilities for reliably monitoring and analyzing processes and states. Condition Monitoring Industrial machines and systems must feature high availability to reach maximum productivity. Downtimes - in particular unplanned ones - are therefore to be avoided as far as possible. This is possible even in complex production systems with ibaCMC and ibaCMU. The combination of vibration measurement with...

Condition Monitoring Reducing plant downtimes, avoiding false alarms

The Condition Monitoring solution by iba, with the Condition Monitoring Center ibaCMC and the Condition Monitoring Unit ibaCMU-S, offers powerful functions for monitoring wear on machines and process-induced vibrations as well as the possibility to correlate the data with each other. In the Condition Monitoring Unit, so called snapshots of the vibration data and the simultaneously acquired process data are recorded. The damage indicators, calculated from the snapshots are displayed in ibaCMC as longterm trend and are monitored for exceeded limit values. The derived values are called “virtual...

Condition Monitoring Center The Condition Monitoring Center ibaCMC is a high end web-based desktop application for trending, alarming and reporting tasks. The only software needed on the client side is a web browser. Role-based user management Different user roles (e.g. Administrator, signal analyst, electrical maintenance personnel, responsible plant engineer, etc.) demand different functionalities and views of different data. The detailed user configuration module provides an extensive toolbox for this task. Easy configuration ibaCMC provides a built in component library, which can be used...

Hierarchical system configuration with status indication Long-term trends of calculated characteristic values Display of raw data and detailed analysis results When the vibration signals are correlated to process signals, the quality of trending and alarming will increase significantly. False alarm Exa mple of "virtua l trending:" The fault indicators for bearings or gearing derived exclusively from the frequency spectrum or envelope spectrum are, in part, strongly influenced by environmental conditions. This leads to false alarms, see here.

Acquiring, pre-evaluating, storing measurement data ibaCMU-S With the modular hardware concept, the Condition Monitoring solution can be adapted optimally to different requirements. A web-based operating concept allows simple and user-friendly configuration and visualization. Modular concept ibaCMU-S forms the measurement technology heart of the system. The modular concept is based on ibaCMU-S as central unit, which has 8 digital inputs, and can be extended by up to 4 input/output modules. I/O modules are available for vibration measurements according to IEPE standard as well as analog inputs...

Success story Monitoring gears the intelligent way with ibaCMU-S and ibaCMC “Damages on machine parts in complex production facilities can be detected reliably only with the simultaneous monitoring of all machine, process, material and quality data.” Eugen Graz, Application & Consulting, iba AG Significant savings can be made with preventive maintenance using sensor-based Condition Monitoring. This is why Condition Monitoring is getting more and more importance in major industrial plants over the last few years.

First indications of upcoming damages can be detected by acquiring and analyzing vibrations of mechanical components, before these damages might lead to unscheduled plant downtimes and related production losses. Detecting damages on bearings in a rotting mitt early on in the process, was the main objective of this project, as in case of an unplanned failure of a powertrain, the whole production unit would be down. The implemented system can perform detailed analyses of complex plants in order to create reliable information about the state of wear and tear. The technology Due to the implemented...

Real Time Vibration Monitoring Online monitoring: Optimizing processes, increasing product quality

ibalnSpectra is an integrated technology module of the ibaPDA process data acquisition system and processes vibration signals continuously and in real-time. With spectrum and orbit analyses, vibrations can be monitored online and set into relation to other process parameters. When vibrations become critical, the plant operator is informed via alarm message or email. In addition, a feedback in the plant control can be implemented to automatically adjust the corresponding parameters. Online monitoring ibaInSpectra offers different modules for analyzing vibrations online. Also users with little...

ibaPDA add-on With ibalnSpectra, any vibrations are monitored continuously and possible error sources can be detected in an early stage. As ibaInSpectra is integrated ibaPDA, not only mere vibration analyses can be performed, but also possible relations between vibrational effects and process behavior can immediately be detected. At a glance > Technology module for ibaPDA and ibaAnalyzer > Real-time analysis of vibrations > Wide connectivity > Comprehensive configuration options > Calculation profiles for multiple usage > Customized visualization > Alarming in case of exceeded limit values >...

The ibalnSpectra auto-adapting module automatically learns spectra for different process conditions and uses this as a reference to detect changes in the spectrum over time. ^ Detailed information about the auto-adapting module can be found at page 18 The fan module is used to monitor fans and calculates special indicators for the state of fans. The orbit module is used to monitor and analyze the shaft motion, for example of plain bearings. ^ Detailed information about the Orbit module can be found at page 20 Operation and visualization ibaInSpectra modules have an own branch in the ibaPDA signal...
