PROAC IVE Marine Condition Monitoring Machine condition monitoring can help your vessels stop unscheduled outages, optimize machine performance, and reduce repair time and maintenance costs. For machine diagnostics and online surveillance, our rugged condition monitoring systems can be implemented on a variety of turbines, compressors, generators, and other machineries.

Marine CM System PROAC IVE MCM can be used to collect data quickly and report faults for the majority of engine components on a vessel such as bearings, crankshafts, pistons, fuel injectors, turbo charger. Each Mariner system is tailored to an individual ship so that you can collect and analyse information with ease and without the need for specialist knowledge. The Software also enables quick and accurate data collection, easy data transfer and simple presentation of information to ship's staff. When it's time for Class Surveyors to inspect and survey vessels for evaluation of structural and mechanical integrity, remote monitoring and control capabilities, representation of historical data trends of the vessel gives the surveyors an advantage of avoiding frequent inspections from time to time. It provides intelligent alarm indication and

automatic fault diagnosis reporting together with easy to access trending logs and graphical analysis, making it the ideal marine condition monitoring solution.

The Fourier Transform is a signal processing tool used to identify repetitions in a data set. Since a machine rotates, its vibration signals repeat each rotation. The Fourier Transform identifies these repetitive signals and allows the maintenance team to monitor the repetitive vibration from individual mechanical components such as bearings and gears

Impacts from spalls or other defects in roller element bearings "The reconfigurable nature of CompactRIO and LabVIEW FPGA changes the rules for machine control and vibration monitoring. The end result is a rugged, lowcost, embedded system that can be deployed in a variety of applications and environments where traditional equipment would be unsuitable." - Barren Lingafeldt, Nexjen Systems

create “spikes” or transient impulse time series vibration measurement components in the time waveform. Envelope detection is a signal processing tool for extracting the impact time series measurement from the wide spectrum of vibration measurement data taken from the accelerometer sensor. It is a technique that is further applicable in identifying the growth in amplitude of wearing bearings, gears, and electrical motor components and in general for detecting additional impact style wear indications.

PROACT VE Power Quality Monitoring Our Power quality monitoring systems combine hardware for waveform measurements with flexible software capable of performing any power metering, power quality, or power monitoring analysis. Measurements such as RMS, power factor, frequency analysis (FFT) and harmonic analysis can be performed over multiple phases and reported via a variety of methods including Web, PDF, database connectivity, email, or cell communication.

System Overview A basic power quality system will monitor the voltages and currents from each phase. It may also monitor the voltages and currents on the neutral line if imbalanced loads or harmonics are suspected. A basic power metering system will monitor the RMS voltages and currents from each of the three phases and will monitor the power factor. Power quality monitoring and power metering will allow plants to perform predictive maintenance, energy management, cost management, and quality control.

• •

• •

Waveform harmonic power quality problems are usually caused by equipment with a nonlinear current draw. Pulling power in a nonlinear manner introduces harmonics in the electrical system and can overheat plant distribution transformers. These harmonics can cause current transmission over the neutral power conductor in a 3-phase system. This high current can overload circuits, breakers, and transformers.

2. Power Factor •

In a plant, the power factor, or difference in the phase of the voltage and current waves, is caused by inductive and capacitive loads.

•

Inductive load - Causes the current to lag behind the voltage.

•

Capacitive load - Causes the current to lead the voltage.

•

Increased presence of inductive loads results in lagging Power Factor, installing capacitor banks can help in correcting the power factor.

3. RMS Voltage fluctuation RMS, or the root mean squared, is the standard way to measure the level of a sinusoidal wave. There are three types of RMS voltage variations; a sag, a swell, and an interruption. (i) Sags are caused by load variations or improper wiring. One common cause of a sag is starting an electrical motor.

Measurement Software You can specify various averaging modes for your measurement, such as RMS averaging, vector averaging, or peak hold, as well as the number of averages. You can observe the influence of these averaging parameters, typically on the noise floor, and notice that vector averaging requires the use of a trigger in order to lower the noise floor without lowering the fundamental along with it.
