What is Bearing monitor?
Your machines contain rotating rolling bearings that create shock pulses during operation. These pulses indicate the condition of your machine. By using the bearing monitor, we measure and trend this data. Ultimately, this makes it possible to predict machine failures and avoid breakdowns.
NOTE: Your machines are not equipped with Bearing monitors by default. Contact your local service provider for more information on the hardware.
Go to Uptime in the menu and proceed to BEARING MONITOR. Here, you can view the total number of bearing monitor machines and bearing monitor components.
Meaning of the icons
 | UNKNOWN | There is no data being send |
 | ERROR | It is not possible to read the bearing status due to an error. This could be caused by insufficient data. |
 | LEARNING | The system is still learning how to interpret incoming SPM values. It takes 14 days or min. 2000 measurement values to set the baseline for bearing monitoring. This is the 'Learning Phase'. |
 | WARNING | Your equipment needs to be monitored more closely |
 | ALARM | Your equipment needs to be followed up for further analysis by a specialist. An intervention might be necessary. |
 | GOOD | The bearing component is in good condition (the measured values are within an acceptable range). |
If you click on the magnifying glass on the right side of each row, your scope will be set to that customer, allowing you to see more details.
If you set the scope you will also be able to make a TREND GRAPH . Click on create trend graph and select the categories and measurements.
On the top right of the page, you can click on thresholds. This will redirect you to SPM thresholds, which is located in the tools menu.
If you click on details, you can modify the thresholds by clicking on the pencil icon on the left side of each row.
