(4) Comprehensive Equipment Protection and Early Warning
Real-time status monitoring and evaluation: It continuously monitors the vibration status of equipment in real-time, and evaluates the operating status of the equipment in real-time according to preset thresholds and analysis models. Once the vibration parameters exceed the normal range, the system immediately sends an early warning signal, indicating that the equipment may have potential faults. For example, during the operation of a water pump, when the vibration amplitude exceeds the set safety threshold, the MPC4 module can send alarm information to the upper computer through the communication interface, reminding operators to check the equipment in time to prevent the fault from expanding.
Fault diagnosis and prediction function: With strong data processing and analysis capabilities, it conducts in-depth mining and analysis of the collected vibration data, and can identify various common equipment fault modes such as imbalance, misalignment, and bearing faults. It can also predict the development trend of equipment faults through trend analysis. In the monitoring of generators in the power industry, through the analysis of long-term vibration data, the remaining service life of bearings can be predicted, maintenance plans can be arranged in advance, the risk of sudden equipment failures can be reduced, and the reliability and availability of equipment can be improved.
