Functional Features

  • Multi-Channel Monitoring: Simultaneous monitoring of multiple vibration points

  • Real-Time Analysis: Performs Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for frequency spectrum analysis

  • Trend Storage: Historical data storage for predictive maintenance analysis

  • Keyphasor Processing: Phase reference processing for synchronous vibration analysis

  • Orbit Plot Generation: Constructs shaft centerline orbit plots for rotor dynamics analysis

  • Bode Plot Capability: Frequency response analysis for rotor balancing

Structural Characteristics

  • High-performance digital signal processor for real-time analysis
  • Precision analog front-end with anti-aliasing filters
  • Isolated input channels to prevent ground loop issues
  • High-speed A/D converters with simultaneous sampling
  • Memory expansion for trend data storage

Working Principle The card receives analog vibration signals from field sensors through the terminal board. Each channel includes programmable gain amplification, anti-aliasing filtering, and high-speed analog-to-digital conversion. The digital signal processor performs real-time analysis including:

  • Overall Vibration: Root-mean-square (RMS) or peak-to-peak amplitude measurement

  • Spectral Analysis: FFT to identify vibration frequency components

  • Order Tracking: Analysis synchronized with machine rotational speed

  • Phase Analysis: Determination of vibration phase relative to Keyphasor reference

Alarm logic continuously compares measured values against programmed setpoints, initiating protective actions when necessary.

Installation Requirements

  • Install in VME rack slot designated for vibration monitoring
  • Connect to TVBA terminal board for sensor interface
  • Configure sensor type and scaling factors in control software
  • Set appropriate alarm and danger setpoints for each channel
  • Verify proper grounding of sensor cable shields

Application Scenarios
