VibTrend Software
VibTrend software is a powerful and user-friendly tool designed for asset management and fault diagnosis. It integrates seamlessly with TPI vibration meters, including models 9075, 9080, 9084, and 9085, to provide comprehensive vibration analysis.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Asset Management: Track assets by machine name and vibration points. Define pre-set ISO and user-defined alarm levels for notifications.
- Route Management: Create and manage routes for operatives to follow, ensuring efficient data collection.
- Data Transfer: Facilitates local data transfer to and from vibration meters via USB or Bluetooth for analysis.
- Data Visualization: View color-coded status warnings for machines and individual vibration points. Generate trend plots, waterfall graphs, and VA bands (Unbalance, Misalignment, Looseness) for detailed analysis.
- Advanced Analysis: Supports DEMOD analysis with fault frequency cursors from a bearing database, and allows adjustment of run speed to observe effects on VA bands.
- Reporting: Create reports ready for sharing or e-mailing. Features include data export/import and database management.
- Notifications: Set up e-mail notifications based on user-defined alarm levels.
- Database Integration: Supports remote databases such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server.
- Hierarchy Management: Enables creation of a 5-level hierarchy for plants, areas, sub-areas, machine trains, and vibration points for enhanced asset management.
- Inspection Points: Allows for visual checks and data recording during operative measurements.
- Compatibility: Integrates with TPI vibration meters 9034, 9038, 9043, 9075 (TPI Ultra app), 9080, 9084, and 9085.
C-Trend Software
C-Trend software extends these capabilities, offering enhanced asset management and high-level fault diagnosis, including DEMOD, Shaft Orbit, and Inspections. It allows for the creation of detailed asset structures (Plants, Areas, Machine Trains, Vibration Points) and utilizes pre-defined or user-defined alarm levels and fault frequencies from a bearing database for e-mail notifications and inspection alerts.
C-Trend also supports advanced analysis techniques such as Crest Factor, DEMOD, Waterfall FFT, and VA Bands, providing a comprehensive suite for machine condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
User Interface and Workflow:
The software features an intuitive interface with modules for Asset Manager, Route Manager, and Setup Tools. Users can easily add, edit, and manage machines, vibration points, and routes. The visual feedback, such as color-coded status warnings and graphical plots, aids in quick assessment and diagnosis of machine conditions.
The workflow typically involves:
- Setting up assets (Plants, Areas, Machines, Vibration Points).
- Defining alarm levels and inspection criteria.
- Creating and downloading routes to vibration meters.
- Collecting data using the meters.
- Transferring data back to the software for analysis.
- Performing detailed diagnosis using various plots and analysis tools.
- Generating reports for stakeholders.
Supported Devices:
- TPI Vibration Meters: 9075, 9080, 9084, 9085
