Main tab: in the upper area are the sensor Name and the Leaf node selection,
noting that the node type cannot be changed once the sensor is commissioned.
Name can usefully be used to indicate the sensor’s physical location using standard,
vibration measurement point, taxonomy.
Also provided is a read back of the gateway allocation – Enlight Collect Gateway.
For sensors, this gateway allocation process is indirect, in that measurement sensors
are associated with a machine and in the machine’s properties, it and all its sensors
have a gateway allocated, Figure 20.
Note:
• It is recommended to use the default mesh mode unless it is known that the
sensor location is subject to movement or its ‘wireless environment’ is subject
to temporary interruption by vehicle/machinery movements. In these cases,
leaf mode can be selected.
• Relay nodes, which make no measurements but are there to support/extend
the mesh infrastructure, are created and configured in the Enlight Collect
IMx-1 System View.
• Mesh networks auto-adapt but have a rebuild time, therefore:
o Do not activate sensors until they are at their mounting position
On the lower part of the main tab is the possibility to add an associated
measurement. This can only be a software speed point used to associate a machine
speed with the data.
The four measurements each have their own sub-tab in the sensor configuration
dialog:
Sub-tabs for each measurement type typically have three zones where aspects of
that measurement can be configured or are available for review:
General: an area to report the measurement name, engineering units and
detection.
Acquisition: for the vibration measurements, an area to configure the
number of lines and to view the measurement configuration. By default, the
“No. of lines” is set to 800.
Alarms: for all measurements an area to configure, set or disable alarms
associated with each. Note that low warning and low alarm are available only
for temperature measurements. All alarms are disabled by default, with
thresholds set to zero.
