2 Key Components of CMS & Essential Software for MBSE
Condition Monitoring Systems refer to technologies and processes that are implemented to monitor the performance and the health of machines and equipment in real-time. They consist of measuring parameters like vibration, temperature, pressure, and the state of lubrication to identify the initial indicators of possible failures. CMS also enables operators to conduct maintenance only when needed; this is through continuous monitoring of equipment so as to avoid the use of pre-scheduled or reactive maintenance strategies. 2 Key Components of Condition Monitoring Systems Hardware Components Sensors and Transducers The basis of condition monitoring systems is sensors. Examples of these are accelerometers, temperature probes, ultrasonic sensors, and pressure sensors. Data Acquisition Units They are units that retrieve raw data via sensors and turn it into digital signals that are to be analysed. Software Components Analytics Platforms Data is received, analysed on the...
