Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements This chapter describes setting up the measurement definitions in the Emonitor software, how alarms are handled, lists, and inspection codes. Measurement definitions define how to collect and store measurements. You can create several different types of measurement definitions at each location. The Emonitor software can then take advantage of the abilities of your data collector by combining some of the measurement definitions when you load them into the data collector.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements Measurement Definition Options From the Tools menu, choose Set Active Collectors to determine the definitions for measuring in the Emonitor software. Figure 11 - Set Active Collectors When using the Dynamix 2500 data collector, select the Enpac 2500 (EP25) driver.
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 Measurement Types The Emonitor software and the Dynamix 2500 data collector support the following measurement definition types. Table 15 - Measurement Types Item Description Magnitude This measurement type is a single value representing the total energy of a measurement. For example, a vibration magnitude represents the total energy in a vibration spectrum.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements 1. From the Setup menu, choose Band Filters. 2. Choose a Band Filter and click New. 3. Type a name and click OK. Filters in the Emonitor software are referred to as software filters. Filters in data collectors are referred to as hardware filters. Hardware filters alter the signal in the data collector. The Emonitor software filters alter the signal (data representing the signal) after you unload the data into the software.
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 frequency cutoff point decrease ranging time the most. Try to set your maximum frequency and lines of resolution such that the formula results in the highest value that would be practical in your application. TIP These are two other ways you can reduce ranging time: • Only use filters that are built into the data collector. • Change the Autoranging in the Instrument Configuration menu to either Fixed or Aggressive.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements ESP Filters Use an Envelope Spectrum Processing (ESP) filter to detect bearing and other component defects. The ESP filters apply a band pass filter, envelope the time domain signal, and then perform a frequency analysis on the result. ESP filters are built into the Dynamix 2500 data collector, and you cannot change them in the Emonitor software. You can use ESP filters with the magnitude and spectrum measurement definitions.
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 The Emonitor software uses a high pass filter with one of the low frequency cutoffs shown in this table. It uses the filter whose cutoff is greater than or equal to the result of the formula. Table 17 - Low Frequency Cutoffs Integrated (A to V, A to D, V to D) Non-integrated (A, V, and D) 0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) 0.18 Hz (10.8 CPM) 5.30 Hz (318 CPM) 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM) 23.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements Default Filters There are also four default filters in the Emonitor software that map to specific filters in the Dynamix 2500 data collector. The filters are High Frequency, Envelope, Smart HP, and Overall. Table 18 - Default Filter Descriptions Default Filters Description High Frequency Typically this filter maps to a high frequency filter in the data collector and is available only for magnitude acceleration measurements.
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 the Emonitor software uses an overall filter with one of the low frequency cutoffs shown in the table below. It uses the filter whose cutoff is greater than or equal to the result of the formula. Integrated (A to V, A to D, V to D) Non-integrated (A, V, and D) 0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) 0.18 Hz (10.8 CPM) 5.30 Hz (318 CPM) 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM) 23.80 Hz (1428 CPM) EXAMPLE The Emonitor software uses the 5.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements Figure 12 - RSS filter Click to use the RSS filter IMPORTANT Using the 0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) low cutoff filter for integrated measurements or the 0.18 Hz (10.8 CPM) low cutoff filter for non-integrated measurements will always cause the Dynamix 2500 data collector to go into a long autorange mode. Only use these filter settings when very low frequency data is required.
Setting Up Measurements Setting Up Collection Specifications Chapter 3 Measurement definitions are controlled in part by the collection specification (Setup > Collection). You select the collection specification when you set up the measurement definition. You can create new collection specifications based on your specific measurement by choosing Setup > Collection.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements The table for the transducer specification in the STD (Hz) 2000 collection specification would look like this. Table 20 - Transducer specification in STD (Hz) 2000 collection specification Name Base Unit Input Type Units DC Offset Accelerometer Acceleration ICP Accel g’s 0 Measurement Input Types The input type is part of the transducer specification (Setup > Calibration). The transducer is part of the collection specification (Setup > Collection).
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 Measurement Window Types The measurement window type is part of the collection specification (Setup > Collection). Select the collection specification when you set up the measurement definition. The Emonitor software and the Dynamix 2500 data collector support the following measurement window types. In general, the Hanning measurement window provides the best compromise of frequency and amplitude accuracy for most predictive maintenance measurements.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements Table 21 - Signal Detection Types Signal Detection Type Description Peak Use for detection of acceleration, velocity, and high frequency energy. This is the peak (0 to maximum) amplitude of a sine wave at the frequency of interest and is calculated from the RMS value. True Peak Use to detect impacts and random transients. The dynamic time signal contains the absolute value of the largest peak (positive or negative) within a specified time window.
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 You can either select a value from the drop down list, or you can enter a value in Maximum frequency in the Collection Specification dialog box. If you enter a value that does not match one of the values above, the Emonitor software uses the next higher maximum frequency. Measurement Resolution The measurement resolution is part of the collection specification (Setup > Collection). See Collection Specification Dialog Box on page 75.
Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements If your Maximum frequency is specified in CPM, convert CPM to Hertz using the following formula. Fmax (CPM) Fmax (Hz) = ------------------------------60 Next, find the total collection time for the time waveform measurement using this formula. spectral lines collection time = ------------------------------Fmax (Hz) EXAMPLE If you had a Maximum frequency value of 7200 CPM and a Number of lines value of 400, you would: 1. Convert CPM to Hz.
Setting Up Measurements Chapter 3 Order Normalization for Orders Track Spectrum There are two requirements for implementing Orders Track measurements. The Fmax value must fall within the range of 10 to 5000 Hz, and the machine speed may not vary by more than 10% during the measurement collection. For example, if you set up a machine that runs at 3500 rpm for an Fmax of 100 Orders, the measurement will not work because the required Fmax is 15,000 Hz.

Chapter 6 Multi-channel Measurements This chapter describes setting up, collecting, and reviewing orbit, cross channel phase, dual channel, and other multi-channel measurements.
Chapter 6 Multi-channel Measurements One key parameter is the measure of relative phase between two points on a machine, which is easily calculated as a cross channel measurement. Phase measurements across a coupling can easily show misalignment. Phase measurements can also be used around a bearing to determine if it is cocked. It is even possible for a significant loss of mass, such as a thrown blade, to result in little or no change in vibration amplitude, but a very clear shift in phase.
Multi-channel Measurements Chapter 6 Figure 2 - 1X Orbit Plot If the machine has unbalance only, the displayed orbit will be dominated by a once-per-revolution signal and have a circular or elliptical shape. To get a better impression of the actual shaft motion and to identify other common machine anomalies, such as misalignment, shaft whirls, rubs, and looseness, all signal frequencies are required up to several orders of shaft speed.
Chapter 6 Multi-channel Measurements position of the shaft. There is a mark on the orbit to show the location of the shaft at the time of the trigger event. Assuming pickups are located 90 degrees apart and there is a phase reference pickup providing a once-per-revolution pulse to trigger the data collection, you can use orbits to distinguish common faults in machines equipped with plain bearings.
Multi-channel Measurements Chapter 6 Figure 5 - Complex Orbit As a rub becomes more severe or continuous, then the orbit becomes more complex and possibly erratic, with bearing structural resonances being excited and multiples of subsynchronous frequencies showing up. Mechanical looseness caused by excessive wear tends to produce an orbit similar to that of a rub. Subsynchronous effects show up as secondary loops.
Chapter 6 Multi-channel Measurements The measurement definitions must be the same for both locations. The time measurement definition must be the first measurement definition in the spreadsheet. Make sure the numeric measurement definition has the same units, collection specification, and storage as the time measurement definition. • Make sure to set Data collector filter type to Analog when you define the order filters. See Measurement Filters on page 67 for more information.
