Abstract:
A predictive vibration monitoring system for a machine includes amicrocontroller (20) and a machine to be monitored (10). The machine to be monitored (10) includes at least one rotative element. At least one sensor (12) is operatively connected to the machine (10). The at least one sensor (12) is operable to convert mechanical motion generated by the at least one rotative element into a corresponding electrical signal. The at least one sensor (12) inputs the corresponding electrical signal to the microcontroller (20). A communication means (22) is disposed between the microcontroller (20) and the monitored machine (10). The communication means (22) enables the microcontroller (20) to correlate a predetermined operational state of the monitored machine (10) with a corresponding electrical signal generated by the at least one sensor (12). A memory means (38) communicates with the microcontroller (20) and stores a predetermined logic routine, at least one corresponding electrical signal and at least one predetermined key frequency of the at least one rotative element of the machine to be monitored (10). The microcontroller (20) utilizes the predetermined logic routine to process the corresponding electrical signal into corresponding vibration data of the monitored machine (10). The microcontroller (20) compares the corresponding vibration data with the at least one predetermined key frequency to predict the present and future condition of the at least one rotative element.
Abstract:
A manualy set electronic control for a fluid compression device includes a compressor (10) for pressurizing fluid and a controller (60) for indicating operating parameters and functions of the compressor. The controller graphically displays the parameters and functions, sets the limits of the parameters and controls the compressor (10) in response to any of the parameters reaching a preset level of the corresponding function. The controller (60) monitors which mode the compressor (10) is operating in, and changes the mode if the controller determines another mode would be more efficient. A computer (118) generates a signal. Communication systems are included whereby the signal from the computer (118) is communicated to the controller (60).

Abstract:
Une commande électronique à réglage manuel destinée à un dispositif de compression de fluide comprend un compresseur (8) destiné à mettre sous pression du fluide, ainsi qu'un contrôleur (60) destiné à indiquer les paramètres et les fonctions de commande du compresseur. Le contrôleur affiche graphiquement les paramètres et les fonctions, règle les limites des paramètres et commande le compresseur (10) lorsque n'importe lequel des paramètres atteint un niveau préétabli de la fonction correspondante. Le contrôleur (60) régule le mode de fonctionnement du compresseur (10), et change le mode si ledit contrôleur détermine qu'un autre mode est plus efficace. Un ordinateur (118) produit un signal. Des systèmes de communication sont prévus, lesquels permettent de transmettre le signal provenant de l'ordinateur (18) au contrôleur (60).
