Contents of this ManualChapter 1 Introduction

In addition to an introduction and a list of AMS Machinery Managers hardware and soft-ware requirements, the Introduction describes the contents of this manual, and presents and overview of the AMS Machinery Manager architecture.

Chapter 2 Overview of AMS Machinery ManagerProvides a general overview and describes the various components, databases, and terms that make up AMS Machinery Manager.

Chapter 3 Database Setup/Management DBASEThe Database Setup/Management program (DBASE) is used to establish and maintain a comprehensive database that contains the information necessary to collect, organize, ana-lyze, and store RBM data on many different machines at one or more plant sites.

DBASE uses indexing methods to uniquely identify every data set collected for each mea-surement point defined for a machine. Analysis parameter sets and alarm/alert levels typify the conventions that DBASE uses to establish data collection and analysis techniques. These techniques assist you in detecting irregular machine operation.

Chapter 4 Stored Data Management - DATMGRThe Stored Data Management program (DATMGR) performs basic utility functions for the management of AMS Machinery Manager databases. You may use it to delete trend, spectral, and waveform data sets, print summaries of all stored data sets, modify spectral and waveform data set labels, and reset trend data statistics. DATMGR can also be used to transfer off-route data to measurement points that are defined in the database.

Chapter 5 Database Utility Functions - DBUTLYThe Database Utility Functions program (DBUTLY) provides functions designed to extract, merge and modify database information. The Copy/Move functions enable you to copy and move information from a source database to a target database. The Modify func-tions enable you to modify machine or measurement point definitions within the database.

Chapter 6 Manual Data Entry MANLOGThe Manual Data Logging program (MANLOG) allows trend data to be entered manually into the AMS Machinery Manager database. In addition, the trend data may be revised where it resides, or it may be specifically inserted into an appropriate location.1-5Contents of this Manual

Chapter 7 Route Management - ROUTEThe Route Management program (ROUTE) is used to create and manage a list of equip-ment and measurement points arranged to provide an efficient path (route) for the operator to follow when collecting data. The route also instructs the machinery analyzer how to col-lect and store data. The ROUTE program can also be used to group similar equipment for:

Analysis with Diagnostic Plotting (PLOTDATA) or Automated fault Diag-nostics (NSpectr)

Reporting with Exceptions Reporting (EXPORT)

Global data management with Database Utility Functions (DBUTLY)

Chapter 8 Previewer - CSIviewThe Previewer program (CSIview) is an easy-to-use word processor available from the main AMS Machinery Manager menu. CSIview allows you to create custom reports and other documents, and it imports many standard file and graphics formats. CSIview is a con-venient tool to display and print information generated by RBMview applications.1-6 Read This First

Optional AMS Machinery Manager ApplicationsThe following are optional Emerson products that can be used with AMS Machinery Man-ager. Although mentioned throughout this manual, full descriptions of functions for these products are provided in their associated users manuals.

Nspectr Automated Fault AnalysisNspectr is a knowledge-based program designed to automatically diagnose mechanical machinery problems. Nspectr makes it easier for analysts to make speedy and accurate diagnoses of your equipment problems by providing diagnostics and recommended actions.

Autostat Statistical Alarm SetupAutostat creates external envelopes and alarm limit levels by performing a statistical anal-ysis on data in the AMS Machinery Manager database. Machines which are similar in design and exhibit similar characteristics in their vibration signatures can be grouped together so that their spectral data can be used to statistically construct these envelope limits and alarm limit sets.

Infrared AnalysisInfrard Analysis provides hardware and software to set up and maintain a comprehensive thermography program. It lets you identify the equipment to be scanned, the monitoring schedule, specific temperature limits, and other information needed to construct a database that defines the monitoring procedures for your program. Infrared Analysis supports gen-erating and downloading routes, and retrieving and documenting images captured with the VDC. The software lets you generate reports in different formats, as well as perform anal-ysis using the annotations feature.

MotorViewTM

MotorView is the optional Induction Motor Analysis program that analyzes the frequency spectra of a motors electrical supply current to detect rotor-related electrical faults. These include broken rotor bars, high-resistance joints, voids in aluminum cast rotors, and cracked rotor end rings in squirrel-cage induction motors.

An extended version of the program, MotorView II, is used to detect additional electrical problems such as faults in rotors and stators, as well as voltage imbalance. The analyses per-formed and recommendations provided are based on measurements acquired with flux, current, and temperature sensors.1-7Optional AMS Machinery Manager Applications

OilView

OilView is a multi-functional predictive maintenance tool for immediate, on-site evaluation of in-service lubricating fluids. The OilView software is used in conjunction with an oil lab-oratory, a minilab, or both. OilView is available in three configurations:

The Trivector Laboratory Data Import and Viewer configuration allows the user to automatically access the CSI Trivector lab via modem, upload data, and view the data in tabular and graphical reports.

The Laboratory Data Edit/Entry and Import configuration supports importing data from CSIs lab and from other leading industrial oil analysis labs as well. It is fully integrated with AMS Machinery Manager, and allows you to add, edit, or perform further analysis on the data.

The Wear Debris Analysis configuration performs detailed wear debris analysis (WDA), and captures and stores images acquired with the OilView Shop Microscope and other instruments.

Ultrasonic Data ManagerThe Ultrasonic Data Manager application performs two functions: communicate routes and data between AMS Machinery Manager and the ultrasonic data collector, and to report on the data. Ultrasonic Data Manager generates general and application-specific reports on the data. Different applications may be defined in the software such as leaks, steam traps, mechanical defects, valves, etc.

Vibration AnalysisThe Vibration Analysis tab enables you to track, display, analyze and report dual-channel, cross-channel, and transient data collected with the CSI Model 2120-2 Machinery Ana-lyzer equipped with special purpose programs: Advanced Two-Channel and Advanced Transient.

The Advanced Two-Channel program allows for dual and cross-channel data to be acquired and stored. The Advanced Transient program allows you to acquire time wave-form data for machinery with long cycle times or for machinery that runs intermittently. This data may then be post-processed in Vibration Analysis.

AMS Machinery Manager Client/Server ArchitectureDepending on your AMS Machinery Manager license, the software can be operated as a single-user application on a single computer, or as a networked application distributed across a Local Area network (LAN) or Wide area Network (WAN).

Single User and Network Configurations

AMS Machinery Manager Network Architecture1-14 Read This First

Single-user LicenseWith a single-user license, the Database Server resides on your local hard drive and oper-ates in the background when you are running AMS Machinery Manager. When you launch AMS Machinery Manager, the Database Server is also launched. When AMS Machinery Manager is shut down, the Database Server is also shut down. With a Single-user License, two users cannot access the same database simultaneously. However, two users can access the same Database at different times.

Network LicenseWith a Network License, the Database Server may be installed on any Win32 network server. It is recommended that there be multiple Database Servers in a WAN environment, one per LAN. The TCP/IP network protocol must be running on both the client and the server computers.1-15AMS Machinery Manager Client/Server Architecture

AMS Machinery Manager System ArchitectureAMS Machinery Manager uses a client/server architecture. Each AMS Machinery Man-ager application acts as a client communicating through servers to the various databases via the TCP/IP communications protocol. The location of the Servers depends on whether you have a Single User or Network license.

AMS Machinery Manager manages many programs and reads and writes many different kinds of data to several databases. Though all of this activity runs in the background while you work, it is helpful to understand the AMS Machinery Manager system architecture. The following sections describe the major components and their functions.

11-16 Read This First

Database ServerThe Database Server manages access to all AMS Machinery Manager Databases. If you have a Single-user License, the Database Server runs locally on your hard drive. If you have a Network License, the Database Server may run on another computer on your network.

The Database server is a multi-threaded, client-server application that runs on any Win32 platform. It requires the TCP/IP network protocol.

There is a limit of 250 simultaneous connections to the Database Server. This means that, at a given time, one user could have 250 connections or 250 different users could each have one connection to the Database Server. Each Database Server has a default database direc-tory. This default directory may be configured using the RBMadmin application. Emerson strongly recommends that users place all AMS Machinery Manager databases that are managed by a given server in this default database directory.

The Database Server also has a system data directory in which its log files and configura-tion files are written.

Network Administration ServerThe Network Administration Server performs several functions associated with the AMS Machinery Manager license. Functions of the Network Administration Server include monitoring the number of users; reporting on which programs are run by which users; defining the type of access, if any, the users have to programs; enforcing the limit on the number of users that may be logged on; and ensuring that the number of users who are simultaneously accessing a given resource is within the boundaries of the license.

There must be one and only one Network Administration Server that administers a license to AMS Machinery Manager. For performance reasons, Emerson recommends that a sep-arate network license be purchased per Local Area Network instead of trying to use a single license across an entire Wide Area Network.1-17AMS Machinery Manager System Architecture

AMS Machinery Manager DatabaseThe AMS Machinery Manager database is organized around Areas (logical groups of Equipment) and Equipment (machines and other assets). See Overview of AMS Machinery Manager on page 2-1 for more information. An AMS Machinery Manager database provides storage for measurement point, trend, spectral, waveform, and notepad data plus image files from infrared and ultrasonic technologies. Also contained within the database are Analysis Parameter Sets, Alarm Limit Sets, and Fault Frequency Sets which provide information concerning the collection, analysis, display, and storage of the acquired data.

Equipment Configuration DatabaseThis database serves two main purposes. First it serves as a project file while you are building up Equipment Configurations with Emersons automated database builder, RBM-wizard. When you use RBMwizard to build a AMS Machinery Manager Database, RBM-wizard uses the information stored in this Project file to fill in or build the AMS Machinery Manager Database. Second, it serves as a reference for the Nspectr Automated Fault Analysis program. Nspectr looks at Equipment Configuration data stored in this data-bases while performing fault analysis. This file uses the filename extension .dbz.

RBMview DatabaseThe RBMview Database is created in addition to AMS Machinery Manager databases. This RBMview Database is designed to be a central repository for information about your RBM program. Emerson recommends having one .mdb file for each .RBM file. You can import data into RBMview from AMS Machinery Manager or other external information/enterprise databases.

Information typically enters RBMview from AMS Machinery Manager applications (or other similar sources) such as Exception Analysis (EXPORT) or Automated Diagnostic Analysis (Nspectr) which report Alarm and/or Problem Events.

Framework Knowledge DatabaseRBMview, Nspectr Automated Fault Analysis, and other AMS Machinery Manager pro-grams employ a special knowledge database (DBLookup.mdb) to store predefined descrip-tions for Faults, Observations, Actions, and Root Causes. 1-18 Read This First

The list of descriptions is comprehensive and covers many common events. For example, predefined Faults include Vibration/Periodic Antifriction bearing looseness or Oil Large particles present. Examples of predefined Actions include Corrective Collect tor-sional data or Motor Check for phase balance. To ensure a common framework, this Knowledge Database is shared by both RBMview and by other AMS Machinery Manager applications. Thus the codes for Faults, Observations, and Actions are also used by Nspectr, OilView, MotorView, etc.

Component WarehousesSupplied with AMS Machinery Manager are read only libraries of existing components such as electric motors. The items in the CSI Warehouse are stored in the CSI_cmp.wh data-base file. Components from the CSI library are pre-configured with known information such as horsepower, number of phases, and number of rotor bars.You cannot change a Component in the read-only CSI Warehouse. However, you can copy the item to the User Warehouse and then edit the configuration. This allows you to modify and then re-use the configuration. The items in the User Warehouse are stored in the usr_cmp.wh database file.

Application Specific Reference FilesCertain AMS Machinery Manager programs such as OilView use special files such as the Oil Reference database file to maintain reference and other information.

HTML Help FilesAMS Machinery Manager utilizes an HTML Help program to provide you with context sensitive Help as you navigate through the AMS Machinery Manager programs. Pressing F1 on the keyboard launches Microsoft Explorer. Explorer displays the same information as is found in the AMS Machinery Manager program users manuals in HTML format. These HTML (.chm) files are stored within their own directory.1-19AMS Machinery Manager System Architecture

Chapter 2

Also contained within the database are analysis parameter sets, alarm limit sets, and fault

frequency sets which provide information concerning the collection, analysis, display, and storage of the acquired data.Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

The AMS Machinery Manager DatabaseAn AMS Machinery Manager database provides functions to organize all of the informa-tion that is required to establish and maintain a reliability based maintenance system, and to acquire and store trend, spectral, waveform, and notepad data.

A database assembles Areas, Equipment, and their measurement points using the AMS Machinery Manager database hierarchy, as illustrated in the following chart.

12-1

NoteRemember to backup your databases frequently.

AreasAreas are the top level of organization within an AMS Machinery Manager database. Each Area contains a collection of Equipment that are logically grouped together based on phys-ical or functional relationships, location, etc., (for example, a paper machine, a winder sec-tion, or a power station).

EquipmentUnder Areas, Pieces of Equipment are the next level of organization within a database. A piece of Equipment is usually a working unit that consists of a driver, a driven unit, and associated components (for example, a pump, a motor, or a gearbox).

Measurement PointsMeasurement points are locations or positions on the Equipment where the sensor is placed in order to take a measurement. All measurement points on a piece of Equipment are grouped together under the piece of Equipment.2-2 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

Database CapacitiesThe following table describes the maximum number of each type of information allowed in one database.

DATABASE CATEGORY AMS Machinery Manager Capacity

Maximum database size 2 gigabytes

# of Analysis Parameter Sets 512 per Technology

# of Alarm Limit Sets 512 per Technology

Fault Frequency Sets 128

Routes per Area 50

Points per Route 1040

Measurement points per piece of Equipment

1442-3

Analysis Parameter SetsAn analysis parameter set (APS) includes a group of individual analysis parameters that divide the frequency spectrum into bands that are individually measured and analyzed. Each frequency band is designed to contain a segment of the spectrum where specific machinery frequencies occur, such as the 1x turning speed (1xRPM), turning speed har-monics, bearing frequencies, etc.

2

Analysis parameter sets may also contain other non-spectral data such as NxRPM ampli-tude and phase, DC-Gap, etc. In addition, each analysis parameter set contains instructions that tell the machinery analyzer how data are to be collected, analyzed, and stored during data collection for each measurement point.

NoteAnalysis Parameter sets may be set up automatically using the RBMwizard application.2-4 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

NoteFor Periodic technology, you can have up to 12 individual Analysis Param-eter bands per set. For Online technology, you can have up to 24. For Oil technology, you can have up to 96, and for Ultrasonic you can have up to 12 individual Analysis Parameter bands per set.

Analysis Parameter sets are independent of the database hierarchy and can be assigned to many different measurement points on Equipment using one of the following methods:

Assign user-defined analysis parameter sets. Assign from the sixteen (16) default periodic analysis parameter sets, the eleven

(11) default ultrasonic parameter sets, and one default oil parameter set that are included with AMS Machinery Manager.

NoteAMS Machinery Manager allows for the creation of up to 512 analysis parameter sets per database. However, since many measurement points can usually be analyzed in an identical manner, it is common for only a few unique parameter sets to be requiredeven in a large database.

NoteRBMwizard will create sets appropriate for equipment setup and opera-tional conditions.2-5Analysis Parameter Sets

Alarm LimitsAlarm limits are levels of amplitude that indicate a deteriorating condition on the piece of Equipment being monitored. An alarm limit set consists of an alarm level for the overall signal and separate alarm levels for each individual analysis parameter. Any overall or parameter level that causes an alarm will be listed in the Measurement Exception Analysis Report generated by the EXPORT program module.

NoteThere is no overall signal for the Online, Oil, and Ultrasonic components of AMS Machinery Manager.

Alarm limit sets are independent of the database hierarchy and can be assigned to many dif-ferent measurement points on Equipment using one of the following methods:

Assign user-defined alarm parameter sets.

NoteAlarm Limit sets may be set up automatically using the RBMwizard appli-cation.

NoteRBMwizard will create sets appropriate for equipment setup and opera-tional conditions.

Assign from the sixteen (16) default periodic alarm parameter sets, the eleven (11) default ultrasonic parameter sets, and one default oil parameter set that are included with AMS Machinery Manager.

Alarm LevelsThe following text describes the various alarm levels used in many of AMS Machinery Managers components. 2-6 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

NoteOnline and Oil have different alarm level types. Please consult them for spe-cific information.

Fault Level This is the most severe alarm level and indicates Equipment failure. For vibration-type sig-nals, fault alarm values can usually be found in published standards for various types of equipment.

Alert Level This alarm level indicates that the Equipment is approaching failure. The Equipment should be evaluated in detail and monitored at shorter intervals.

Weak Side Level The weak side alarm is set at a level below the normal operating amplitude (or above depending on the type of alarm). This alarm level provides protection against improper data collection, or it can be used to test variables where both an increase or a decrease in the amplitude indicates a problem.

Early Warning Alarms Early warning alarm values are statistical in nature and indicate that a measured value has significantly deviated from its typical measurement (but not necessarily exceeded an alarm limit). An early warning alarm usually occurs before the alert level; however, there may be unique instances where these levels are reversed from normal.

One method of calculation establishes this level as equal to the Baseline Ratio (specified in the alarm limit set) times the actual baseline value. For example, if a measured signal is not normally expected to increase by 20% from the baseline value, then setting the Baseline Ratio to1.2 will trigger the early warning alarm should this value exceed 1.2 times the base-line.

The other method establishes a level equal to the calculated mean plus (or minus) the number of Maximum Deviations (specified in the alarm limit set) times the standard devi-ation. These two levels are then compared, and the more restrictive level is used for the early warning.2-7Alarm Limits

Baseline OverrideIf the actual baseline or the calculated mean is less than one-tenth of the specified fault level value, the program assigns a temporary baseline in an effort to reduce false early warning alarms. This temporary baseline is established at a level equal to one-tenth of the fault value as an initial default value.

This initial percentage of the fault value can be modified or deleted by using the Database Global Information option in DBASE, if desired.

Absolute ValueThe first four alarm types of AMS Machinery Manager use an absolute valuethe alarm level always equals this fixed value. Absolute values are used when the vibration amplitude value (or other measured quantity) should remain relatively constant, and equipment deg-radation is based on an increase or decrease from that value.

Absolute DeltaThe last three alarm types use absolute deltathe alarm level that is derived from the base-line value plus or minus the absolute delta value. The baseline value is established from the very first measurement; therefore, there will be no alarm checking for the first measure-ment. The values taken from the first measurement should be examined carefully to ensure that they are normal and suitable for establishing the alarm levels.

Absolute delta values are used when the vibration amplitude value (or other measured quantity such as phase readings or DC gap voltages) will be found within a wide range of values, but will not normally change significantly from measurement to measurement.

NoteWhen using absolute delta alarm types, it is especially important to make sure the initial baseline value is correct.2-8 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

Alarm TypesThere are seven types of alarms available for use in the AMS Machinery Manager data-base.

Dual Upper LevelThe Dual Upper Level alarm type is used when the symptom of approaching failure is an increasing amplitude of the measured signal. This is the most common alarm type used for vibration analysis.

32-9Alarm Limits

In-WindowThe In-Window alarm type provides an alarm when the measured signal enters a specified amplitude range (or window) established by the alert and weak side levels. Amplitude values below or above these two levels are considered normal.

4

Out-of-WindowThis alarm type uses the same configuration as the Dual Upper Level alarm. The Out-of-Window alarm type, however, provides an indication on the machinery analyzer for the Lo alarm as protection against collecting an abnormally low measurement.

Although the Out-of-Window alarm type is the same as the Dual Upper Level alarm in AMS Machinery Manager, they are treated differently in the Model 2100 series machinery analyzer as shown below.

Dual Upper Out of Window

Fault Level = High Alarm 2 Alert Level = High Alarm 1

Alert Level = High Alarm 1 Weak Side Level = Low2-10 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

Dual Lower LevelThe Dual Lower Level alarm type can be used when the symptom of approaching failure is a decreasing amplitude, such as pipe wall thickness.

5

NoteThe Dual Lower Level alarm requires that the Baseline Ratio be specified at a value less than one.

Dual Upper DeltaThis alarm type is similar to the Dual Upper Level alarm except that the alarm levels are specified in absolute delta values, i.e., baseline delta values.

62-11Alarm Limits

NoteThe Dual Upper Delta, Dual Window Delta, and Dual Lower Delta alarm types cannot be used with the Model 2100 machinery analyzer.

Dual Lower DeltaThis alarm type is similar to the Dual Lower Level alarm except that the alarm levels are specified in absolute delta values.

7

NoteWhen using the Dual Lower Delta alarm type, the baseline ratio must be specified as a value less than one.2-12 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

Dual Window DeltaThe Dual Window Delta alarm type provides alert and fault limits above and below the normal amplitude window. This alarm type is recommended for phase and DC gap mea-surements. Alarm levels are specified in absolute delta values, i.e., baseline values delta values.

8

NoteThe early warning alarm using the baseline ratio and the weak side alarm are not used with the Dual Window Delta alarm type.2-13Alarm Limits

Alarm Codes in EXPORTThe following alarm codes are generated by the EXPORT program when indicating the above alarm types on the various reports:

The A alarm code is the result of a trend analysis on each signal parameter in order to detect developing faults that may occur before data are again collected. AMS Machinery Manager uses linear extrapolation on the signal parameter values collected during the three previous months. If the extrapolated value of a parameter exceeds the Fault Level within a projected three-measurement point interval, a type A alarm code occurs.

AMS Machinery Manager first calculates the data trend slope and its Alarm Code. It then projects Days To Alarm or when the Absolute Fault Level will probably occur. AMS Machinery Manager reports any projection under 300 days. Question marks appear for any projection over 300 days or in cases where insufficient historical data exist to establish a trend.

Alarm Code

Alarm Limit

A The projected measured value will exceed the absolute fault level within three measurement intervals.

Br Early warning alarm produced by the Baseline Ratio.

Bs Early warning alarm produced by the Maximum Deviations.

C Alert Level alarm.

D Fault Level alarm.

V A measured parameter is above the maximum or below the minimum sensor validity alarm.

W A measured parameter is within the range established by the In-Window alarm.

L A measured parameter is below the weak side value with a dual upper alarm type.

Hi A measured parameter is above the weak side value with a dual lower alarm type.2-14 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

For example, Alarm Code D means the vibration level has already reached or exceeded the Absolute Fault Level. Days To Alarm, therefore, shows 0.0 days. When AMS Machinery Manager calculates a negative slope (decreasing vibration levels), three question marks (???) appear for dual upper alarms. AMS Machinery Manager also shows the question marks for a flat slope (no change in vibration levels).2-15Alarm Limits

Alarm StatusMany AMS Machinery Manager applications can optionally display the alarm status of the areas, equipment, and measurement points in the RBM database. The alarm status is based on the most recent data collected or analyzed.

NoteThis alarm status feature will only be enabled if you have purchased RBM-view Full.

There are two color schemes for displaying alarm status. One scheme has five categories and the other scheme has three. These schemes can be seen in tree views and alarm/status reports.

NoteNot all tree views and alarm/status reports support alarm status colorization and icons at this time.

Applications can assign alarm severities to the following node types: database, area, equip-ment, component (on-line vibration only), and measurement point. Assignment will typi-cally occur at the measurement point level.

After one or more alarms have been reported, a roll up process updates the hierarchy. The roll up process looks at all of the severities for the given node and all related nodes or points underneath it. The highest severity is rolled up to the next upper level node as its derived severity. The process is then repeated at this level and rolled up to the next. For example, Measurement Point readings are rolled up the Equipment level, and the Equipment level to the Area level. This continues until the status of the Database level node has been updated.

Explicit alarm severity: an alarm that is specifically set at a given node. Analysis programs, such as Nspectr, MotorView, and Export, set explicit alarms. Communication programs can also set explicit alarms when data is downloaded from an analyzer, such as a 2120, to a database.

NoteMost AMS Machinery Manager programs set explicit alarms at the Mea-surement Point level. An exception is Corrective, which sets explicit alarms at the Equipment level.

Derived alarm severity: this alarm severity comes from looking at all the alarms beneath a node and selecting the worst alarm as its rating. For example, at the Equipment level, the derived alarm severity will be the worst alarm from all the alarms at the Measurement Point level underneath it. At the Area level, the derived alarm severity will be the worst alarm from all the Equipment levels beneath it. For a visual representation of this hierarchy, see The AMS Machinery Manager Database on page 2-1.

Not Set alarm severity: indicates an alarm status has not been set.

Each node has a set of alarm severity values. These are broken down by technology and further by analysis type within each technology. For example, when an application such as Export sets a nodes alarm severity, it will not be setting the overall alarm status. Rather, it will be setting the status for a single technology and analysis type. The overall status can be determined by looking across all of these values.2-18 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

Expiration of Alarm StatusWhen an alarm status is set, an expiration date may also be set. This date will typically be calculated based on the monitoring schedule. If a new alarm status is not set prior to the expiration date, the original status expires. The main visual indication of this is that the expired icon is used. The expired icons are identical to the normal icons minus color. There-fore, you can still see the severity level by looking at the icon, but it does not stand out visu-ally.

Ignore Alarm StatusAn additional state that may be applied to a Technology or Analysis Type at a node is ignore. Setting the ignore state will prevent a given nodes status from influencing the derived status of other nodes. A nodes status is not overwritten when it is ignored.

Indeterminate Alarm StatusIf for any reason alarm status cannot be determined (e.g., read fails from DB, etc.), the inde-terminate icon is displayed.

User InteractionThe following describes the alarm status display features of AMS Machinery Manager tree views. 2-19Alarm Status

View Alarm... Click on a Technology with an alarm, and then click on the View Alarm button and a second dialog box appears.

View Alarm dialog box. Note the information in the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point text areas.

The View Alarm dialog box gives you details on the explicit alarm, which set the alarm severity level. Details include the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point of the alarm. This information may not have been in the Alarm Details box. For example, you may have selected View Alarm for a Derived alarm. If so, the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point context for the View Alarm dialog will be different than it was on the Alarm Details dialog.

You have two methods for exiting the View Alarm dialog box. You may press the Alarm Details button in this dialog box. This will take you back to the Alarm Details dialog box. However, the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point context of the Alarm Details dialog box will be changed to match the context of this, the View Alarm dialog box. 2-22 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

The second method of exiting is to press the Close button. This will take you back to the Alarm Details dialogue box, but the context of the Alarm Details dialog will not be changed.

Changing the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point context will allow you to see any other alarms associated with this measurement point because the Alarm Details dialog box will display all the alarms associated with this point. For example, these could be an online alarm and a vibration alarm associated with a measurement point, or there could be two types of vibration analysis alarms associated with a measurement point.

Set Ignore If you wish to ignore an alarm for a technology or analysis type, first click on an alarm, and then click on this button. An i appears in the Severity column and the alarm is ignored when compiling the alarm status.

NoteAn ignore alarm can be established even for an alarm that hasnt been set.

Clear Ignore If you want to undo an alarm that has been set to be ignored, select that alarm, and then click on the Clear Ignore button. The i disappears and the status of that alarm appears.

Show Analysis Types Per Technology Click in the check box beside this text in order to show all the analysis types set for a technology. Unclicking the box shows only the Tech-nologies.

NoteWhen you show only the Technologies, the highest alarm for all analysis types for each technology is displayed. This will cause analysis type alarms that have lower severities to be hidden. For example, if a Vibration-Param-eter alarm has a severity of 60 and a Vibration-Envelope alarm has a severity of 30, you would only see the Vibration-Parameter alarm. It would not be obvious that a Vibration-Envelope alarm exists.

Use Alarm Tree Technology Filters Click on the check box beside this text in order to use the filters established for the technologies selected. Filters are established under each technology and can be turned off and on by clicking on Alarm Tree Filters and selecting the filters you want to turn on or off.

This box displays the different technologies. Those technologies with check marks in the boxes beside them will be the ones with active Alarm Tree Filters. You can turn on the fil-ters for an entire technology category by checking in the box beside the category head of a technology. For example, you can check Periodic Vibration and it will turn on all the anal-ysis types under that Technology category. Or you can check those individual analysis types you want filtered.

By default, the tree will show the status for all technologies that the user has purchased. However, applications may set a filter to limit the number of technologies for which status is displayed. For example, OilView may choose to set a filter to only display Oil Tech-nology statuses.2-25Alarm Status

You can also click on the box beside Use these filters for all programs to turn on the filters for all the technologies. Doing so changes the dialog box heading to Global Alarm Tree Filters.

If this is checked, all AMS Machinery Manager programs will use the same filters and the filters set here will apply to all AMS Machinery Manager programs. If this is not checked, the filters set here will only apply to the current program.2-26 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager

Fault FrequenciesFault frequencies identify specific frequencies within the vibration spectra of a piece of Equipment whose amplitude patterns may indicate potential failure; for example, bearings, gears, belts, etc. Fault frequencies are represented as dotted lines that are superimposed on a displayed spectral plot and indicate the location on the plot where peaks would occur if Equipment faults develop.

Fault frequencies can be defined in the measurement point setup menus and/or fault fre-quency sets can be assigned to individual measurement points.

The following is an example spectral plot generated with the Plotdata Diagnostic Plotting module, illustrating the application of a fault frequency set. Each fault frequency is identi-fied with a letter at the top of the associated dotted line and listed on the right side of the plot.

31

NoteFault Frequencies is an optional, advanced feature and is not essential in order for the system to function properly.2-27Fault Frequencies

NoteIf an equipment is configured using RBMwizard, then fault frequencies can be automatically generated in Plotdata using this configuration information.

NoteFault Frequencies are automatically generated by Plotdata using configura-tion information. It does not create fault frequency setups on the measure-ment point.2-28 Overview of AMS Machinery Manager
