Vi­bra­tion Mea­sure­ment with Argus Eyes

Siemens en­er­gy, Ber­lin, Clean En­er­gy Test Cen­ter

Prod­ucts in use: Ar­gusOMDS Sys­tem, DA8 out­put mod­ule, anal­y­sis soft­ware TrendView­er

Siemens En­er­gy op­er­ates an ultra-mod­ern test cen­ter, the Clean En­er­gy Cen­ter (CEC) near Ber­lin. There, gas-tur­bine com­bus­tors are run­ning under re­al­is­tic con­di­tions. In order to learn from these test mea­sure­ments the IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem is in place:

• Flex­i­bil­i­ty and ef­fi­cien­cy on the test-bench
• Con­sol­i­da­tion of all data streams from dif­fer­ent sources allow the anal­y­sis of
  com­plex re­la­tion­ships
• Up to 10 test en­gi­neers can mon­i­tor on­line data streams at the same time

Flex­i­ble in­puts/out­puts

• Flex­i­ble com­bi­na­tion of dif­fer­ent IFTA input and out­put mod­ules, ana­log or dig­i­tal
• Dy­nam­ic sig­nals can be record­ed with the AD4 fam­i­ly input mod­ules
• For the mea­sure­ment of op­er­at­ing data such as power, flow, ro­ta­tion speed, sup­ply volt­age the input mod­ule AD16 is avail­able
• For tor­sion­al vi­bra­tions the input mod­ule AT2 is avail­able
• For tem­per­a­ture mea­sure­ments the input mod­ule TI4 is avail­able
• Input mod­ules can be up­grad­ed at any time and thus en­able ac­qui­si­tion of a wide va­ri­ety of data
• Pro­tec­tion tasks can be han­dled with our out­put mod­ules RelOut16 and DA8. The DA8 out­put mod­ule can pro­vide sen­sor sig­nals as buffered out­puts for other sys­tems

Sim­pli­fied in­te­gra­tion

• The IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem is based upon a mod­u­lar hard- and soft­ware ar­chi­tec­ture. Such flex­i­bil­i­ty al­lows to adapt mea­sure­ment, anal­y­sis and mon­i­tor­ing to vary­ing ma­chine types and cus­tomer spe­cif­ic ap­pli­ca­tions
• Sim­ple com­mu­ni­ca­tion with con­trol sys­tems, whether ana­log or dig­i­tal. By trans­mit­ting all mon­i­tored pa­ram­e­ters, the con­trol sys­tem of the ma­chine pre­vents crit­i­cal op­er­at­ing states
• With the mod­ules Profibus and Profinet, the IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem can be eas­i­ly in­te­grat­ed into field­bus en­vi­ron­ments. Two re­dun­dant bus in­ter­faces en­sure high re­li­a­bil­i­ty
• Cur­rent sta­tus and mon­i­tor­ing vari­ables for con­trol rooms and other sys­tems are pro­vid­ed via OPC

Real-time Pro­tec­tion

• The heart of the IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem is the DSP (dig­i­tal sig­nal pro­ces­sor) pro­vid­ing a real-time sig­nal anal­y­sis and re­sponse. In con­trast to Win­dows-based so­lu­tions, this en­ables the pro­cess­ing of al­go­rithms/anal­y­sis/cal­cu­la­tions and sig­nal­ing, which is re­quired in in­dus­tri­al en­vi­ron­ments for real-time pro­tec­tion sys­tems
• Op­ti­mized al­go­rithms en­sure short anal­y­sis times and live vi­su­al­iza­tion with the in­te­grat­ed anal­y­sis soft­ware IFTA TrendView­er
• If you do not re­quire a real-time pro­tec­tion func­tion, we rec­om­mend the mea­sure­ment sys­tem IFTA Dy­naMaster

In­te­grat­ed data anal­y­sis

• The anal­y­sis soft­ware IFTA TrendView­er is an in­te­gral part of the IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem
• On- and off­line anal­y­sis in one pro­gram
• In­tu­itive op­er­a­tion
• Pow­er­ful vi­su­al­iza­tion
• High-per­for­mance large scale data pro­cess­ing
• The ad­van­tage of using IFTA Ar­gusOMDS sys­tem and IFTA TrendView­er in com­bi­na­tion is a va­ri­ety of pre-cal­cu­lat­ed data: Most im­por­tant ex­am­ple is the fre­quen­cy spec­tra cal­cu­lat­ed live per chan­nel with up to 6400 lines
