Smart Integrated Monitoring System

Condition Monitoring System

Continuous and high productivity require security: Unlimited machine availability is the primary factor to guarantee a trouble-free production process and predictable productivity.

SIMS stands for Smart Integrated Monitoring System and is the supreme concept for a new generation of measuring and diagnosis systems. "Smart” fits your understanding of the concept. Because all SIMS instruments are conceived to adapt easily and exactly to any special requirements in your production plant.

 

 

The Hardware

Some functions are best performed by hardware: Interfacing to sensors and supplying them with power Signal integration for accelerometers Linearization for velocity sensors Generation of DC output signals Activation and accommodation of relays Power supply functions, generation of the necessary voltages

Connectable Sensors
Accelerometer With Constant Current Supply With a –24 Volt sensor supply BCU with two channels	Velocity sensor For 8 Hz natural frequency, direction sensitive mounting For 15 Hz natural frequency, universal mount
Displacement sensor	DC signals

New Markets & Possibilities

• The firmware allows for adaptive monitoring - to cope with different machine operational modes and operating conditions like speed, load, etc.
• The available extensive filtering allows to monitor machines that due to their constructive nature generate a lot of different vibration signals that must be differentiated from each other
  

Fans and blowers

Gas turbines

Recip’s

New Possibilities

• The intelligence of the system allows for extensive monitoring techniques eventually leading to a diagnostic monitoring set-up
• Completely new power supplies allow for wide range AC and DC supply, even an external power supply will be available for redundancy
• From larger systems well known functions like trip override, trip multiply, etc. now become available also in compact systems

Innovations

The unit is always the same. By combining modules an infinite choice of monitoring concepts can be created

• Due to the modularity of the system it can easily be enhanced
• State of the art digital signal processing
• Two signal processing paths per input channel are available – for uninterrupted monitoring of the machines vibrations and for checking if the sensor is within its operating range

Signal Filtering

• You choose the filter that you need
• Standard ISO filtering, bearing condition filtering or variable filtering
• Only pay for the level of filtering that you need

Interfacing

• Open connectivity can be used to interface with other systems
• Interfacing to xms process visualisation (xms pv)
• SIMS is part of a product family
• Choose the application and the number of channels you want. SIMS does it.

Ready for The Future

• Connectivity and integration into plant management systems is easy
• xms pv provides a powerful software platform for asset management
• OPC protocol allows digital data exchange with a large number of networked I/O systems

Money Saving Potential

• SIMS can be installed directly on the machine skid allowing for the signal to be processed at the machine
• Reduced installation costs:
  • Less wiring
  • Fewer terminals
  • Less work
  • Reduced documentation
• Simplified parts management due to reduced number of components
  

Superiority over Transmitters

• The raw sensor signals are available for analyzing purposes
• Up to three channels are available in compact systems
• Can be equipped with all kind of interfaces by using gateways
• An OPC server provides open connectivity
