Operation

3 Control software
Executable real time software for controlling inputs and outputs, sequence control and visualization is already pre-
installed on the VIBGUARD IIoT. The following software is required for further parameterization, data storage and
analysis. The software is installed on a powerful PC:
Email client
OMNITREND Center
3.1 Hardware and software philosophy
As open systems, the telediagnostic systems offered by PRUFTECHNIK provide a large number of programming and
parameterization possibilities. The following section will provide an overview of the software structure.
As the VIBGUARD IIoT systems are certified together with the OMNITREND Center PC software, they are supplied
with defined program sequence control to ensure the minimum scope of measurements required by the cer-
tification body.
The user is not permitted to change program sequences on the CMS. Three different user levels serve as a means
of protection. The user names and passwords for each level can be found in your password document which is
included in the scope of delivery.
Security level 1: Allows the user to view the overview page, the alarm states, and the display of the readings
on the CMS user interface.
Security level 2: Allows the user to additionally output the log files and to download data as well as query the
system status.
Security level 3: Allows the user to configure the system and to change passwords.
Note!
With Security level 3, system configuration files can be changed or deleted. This can result in the CMS no
longer functioning faultlessly. PRUFTECHNIK will support you should work need to be performed on the
system which requires a high security level.
VIBGUARD IIoT 13
Operation

3.2 Programming of the control software
A real time operating system is installed on the VIBGUARD IIoT system. This operating system contains all of the func-
tions for controlling the measuring components. A web server provides the HTML pages required for operation.
These pages feature a series of parameterization, control and visualization masks.
A measuring program runs in parallel in different sections on the CMS to control the measuring and analysis func-
tions as well as data handling. After the measuring program has been loaded and validated, the measurements start
immediately, in parallel and continuously, in accordance with the configuration. Four parallel data calculation paths
exist for each channel. These paths can be used. In addition, the monitoring of the sensors (SensorCheck) is done
independently of the other measurements that are configured. The recording of the RPM or the Keyphaser signal
(max. two independent RPM inputs) also takes place simultaneously.
Up to six overall readings (Characteristic Group), at least 1x per second for the ‘Always’ persistent setting, and two
spectra or time signals or an envelope (Trending Group), at least 1x per minute, can be generated and stored per
measuring channel. Adaptive storage is generally used to reduce the data volume with maximum benefit and mini-
mum information. If more than the aforementioned trending signals are configured on one channel, such signals
are processed successively and the minute interval may be exceeded under certain circumstances. A 1-minute
interval cannot be adhered to if, for example, a prolonged time signal measurement over 180 seconds is con-
figured.
The continuous storage of data in the minimum time units is only recommended for special cases when inves-
tigating a certain type of behavior over a limited period of time. Otherwise, the data volume becomes too large. It
should also be noted that the data is usually sent via the Internet and the bandwidth is limited in this regard. The
CMS offers intelligent mechanisms for data reduction, such as adaptive storage, in which data is only saved after a
set variable change. There is no data loss with this function.
The measurements and program steps are generally processed continuously. Exceptions may, for example, occur if
a special case for additional and longer diagnostic measurements is started from a 'Diagnostic Group' or is triggered
and processed by an event.
Note!
It is not permissible to make changes to the program sequence.
If, however, changes are to be made, such as the extension of additional operational measurement varia-
bles, this can only be performed by using OMNITREND Center programming software. This software is not
part of the scope of delivery for the CMS, which is why it is advisable for the programming to be done by
trained personnel or by PRUFTECHNIK experts. The software can be purchased from PRUFTECHNIK if
necessary.
The measurement configuration loaded upon delivery is monitored by means of a checksum. If changes have been
made by mistake or for other reasons, such changes are detected and the OMNITREND Center software reports
their occurrence immediately when processing the measurement data.
