Machine Condition Monitoring

Machinery health and machine vibration are critical to predictive maintenance and reliability programs. Whether you are in-plant or factory-test focused, the LabVIEW Industrial Control Platform has the monitoring and diagnostic tools -- online and off-line analysis capabilities, high-speed time waveform logging, Ethernet connectivity with client/server architectures, 24-bit data acquisition, and flexible data presentation options -- to evaluate machinery health and performance.

The LabVIEW Sound and Vibration and LabVIEW Order Analysis toolkits complement general-purpose LabVIEW measurement analysis and determinism functions with analysis and displays for applications involving vibration analysis and rotating machinery. With these toolkits, you can calculate overall vibration level (RMS, peak, crest factor); integrate from acceleration to velocity or displacement; operate online order analysis such as order tracking, order extraction, and order spectra computation; process digital and analog tachometer signals; apply limit testing on time data or power spectra; and draw spectral maps, color maps, waterfall plots, cascade plots, bode plots, polar plots, orbit plots, timebase plots, shaft centerline plots, and Campbell (intensity) plots.
