WIRELESS ASSET MONITORING WITH ANALYSIS AND DATABASE TRANSLATOR SOFTWARE WAM 661 WAM 761 WAM 32U (pending) Rev. 5/10
WAM WIRELESS ASSET MONITORING SYSTEM OVERVIEW: Spectrum Instruments Ltd s WAM product line is an advanced wireless asset monitoring system that supports a wide variety of analog inputs. It is capable of 6+ vibration channels of continuously acquired analog data containing frequencies from DC up to 20 KHz as well as J type & K type thermocouples and a tachometer. A remote wireless receiver directs raw machine data to monitoring / archiving / analysis software for user intervention as need. Spectrum Instruments Ltd s family of WAM products are an advanced wireless monitoring system that supports a wide variety of analog inputs inputs that are usually associated machinery condition. WAM s robust packaging allows the unit to be used in most plant environments to perform one of the following functions: As a permanently mounted solution for long term condition trending, WAM compliments existing condition monitoring programs by providing a higher level of monitoring capability for critical or complex machinery As a trouble shooting solution, WAM s field modules can be moved from one machine to another providing additional data as machine faults arise; transient data crucial to proper machine condition diagnostics can be easily missed by traditional monitoring and walk around predictive maintenance methods TYPICAL APPLICATIONS PAPER MACHINE ROLLS COMPRESSORS CRANES CRITICAL BLOWERS CRITICAL PUMPS CRITICAL MOTORS MOBILE EQUIPMENT DRAG LINES VARIABLE SPEED EQUIP Awkward or hazardous machine applications of any kind INPUTS The WAM field module is capable of 6 vibration channels of continuously acquired dynamic analog data containing frequencies from DC to 20 Khz. Low resolution sensors such as cold junction thermocouples are amplified with an internal temperature compensation board supporting both J and K type thermocouples. For vibration configured channels, a standard 20V/4ma current is provided for biasing accelerometers. This bias voltage can be disabled to allow direct AC inputs from other devices such as proximity probes.
COMMUNICATION Spectrum Instruments WAM wireless asset monitoring system communicates back to the base station via a long range spreadspectrum 900 MHz radio. An optional WLAN communication (802.11B or 802.11G) is available for higher speed, shorter range applications DATA MANAGEMENT Data that is continually gathered by the WAM Wireless Asset Monitoring System is wirelessly transferred to, and managed by MAARS Inc s field hardened Pathfinder Software Suite. The Pathfinder software resides in the customer s Maintenance Department PC. Pathfinder Software Suite includes: Online Operator Monitor DB Editor DB Convert Pathfinder Analysis Software SmaartMonitor Smaart Transient Smaart Balance Depending on the configuration, Pathfinder software receives and manages incoming data from a single, or in the case of a large facility, multiple Spectrum WAM modules performs an openarchitecture archiving function, generates operator interface bar graphs, and provides advanced analytical tools with operator windows for FFTs, waterfalls, orbits, trends, real time waveforms as well as Bode and Nyquist plots. Resolving Data Base Continuity Issues previously, a customer s primary objection to implementing third party data acquisition systems had been the inability to seamlessly share data with a plant s existing predictive maintenance system. Spectrum s optional Translator software allows vibration data captured by our WAM field module and stored in the Pathfinder Software Suite to be transferred to ANY brand name data collector for downloading/archiving into a plants existing vibration based PM software program. This allows the customer to analyze machine data captured by Spectrum s WAM system with his own PM software that he is familiar with (no new software training required) while at the same time, embedding new data supplementing existing historical data for improved condition trending.
