Introduction
• Maintenance cost is a significant part of total expenses Importance of condition monitoring (CM)
• Up to1/3 of all maintenance cost ineffectively wasted– Unnecessary maintenance– Improperly carried out maintenance
• CM with diagnostics allow maintenance based on current condition
• 40% of failures of el. motors caused by bearings
Objectives
• Find feasible concept for bearing CM• Specify the requirements for the concept• Design reliable testing platform
Industrial Information Infrastructure
• Embedded sensor situated at field level
• Analysis including feature extraction and diagnosis done locally by embedded sensor
• Communication busses at all levels
• Possibility to monitor and control the plant globally through internet
Embedded Analysis Concept Requirements
• System must be easily incorporable into existing infrastructure
• Key issues: reliability and efficiency• Embedded sensor suppose to be a stand-
alone system• Whole CM algorithm has to fit into the
embedded sensor
Diagnostics Algorithm Requirements
• Detect departures from normal behavior– Single-point defects (characterized by unique
spectral components)– Generalized roughness (characterized by
broadband increase in bearing vibrations)• Alarm of future damage if no action is taken• Fault must be detected at time when the machine
can still be safely used
Diagnostic Algorithm Requirements (Ex. 1: Vibration Patterns of 9-ball Bearing)
Case b) might eventually be misclassified as one larger defect
a) One scratch in inner race b) Two scratches in inner race
Diagnostic Algorithm Requirements (Cont.)
• Stochastic nature of defect grow• Parameter changes – mech. damping, speed,
torque load, degree of unbalance, etc.• Flowing fluids (water, steam, etc.) can also induce
vibrations
Diagnostic Algorithm Requirements (Ex. 2: Effect of Lubrication)
a) Standart lubrication b) More grease applied
• Peak due to the inner race fault decreased by more than 70%
• Increase in bearing vibration may indicate malfunction of lubricating system
9-ball bearing with 1 scratch in outer race, and 2 scratches in inner race
Hardware Requirements
• High processing capacity • Minimal power dissipation• Sensitivity
– 12-bit A/D conversion– 32-bit floating-point number representation
• Memory– Sampled data and analysis (SRAM, SDRAM)– History recording (Non-volatile type)
Hardware Requirements
• Communication link• Environmental stresses immunity
– Electromagnetic interference– Mechanical stresses (vibrations)– Climatic stresses (high temperature, humidity)
Developed Pilot System (Cont.)
• Envelope spectrum analysis algorithm implemented
• Tests in laboratory environment approved suitability for CM tasks
• The pilot system is currently in testing run in Lappeenranta water plant, and is controlled remotely via GSM-modem connection
Future Objectives
• Install the developed DSP based platform to industrial plants
• Collect statistically significant number of measurements
• Develop reliable diagnostic algorithm• Implement the algorithm into the DSP platform• Test the embedded sensor in industrial
environment
