ISMANING, August 27th 2014 – At the WINDENERGY tradeshow in Hamburg PRÜFTECHNIK

Condition Monitoring presents VIBGUARD XP, a new version of the proven Online Condition
Monitoring system VIBGUARD which is especially suited for the wind industry. VIBGUARD XP fits
perfectly for onshore and offshore applications, and is DNV GL certified (Det Norske Veritas –
Germanischer Lloyd). This certification brings lower insurance rates for wind park operators.

Fast, synchronous, reliable – these words describe the new Online Condition Monitoring system
for wind turbines. VIBGUARD XP collects signals simultaneously on 20 channels and processes
them, in parallel, to characteristic overall vibration values (e. g. according to ISO 10816-21/VDI
3834), spectra and time waveforms. This keeps reaction times short and enables diagnosis
measurements on every measurement point of the drive train if a fault is identified. With the
addition of PRÜFTECHNIK’s hybrid triaxial sensor, which measures down to 0 Hz, movement of
the tower and even ice on the blades can be detected. An event recording functionality allows the
capture of transient events with a pre- and post-trigger time. VIBGUARD XP provides an
advanced MODBUS TCP interface which allows a seamless integration between the WEA
controller and the Online CMS. This represents the ideal combination of integration and
modularity.

As the manufacturer of GL-certified Online Condition Monitoring systems like VIBROWEB XP and
operator of a GL-certified Monitoring Center for telediagnosis, PRÜFTECHNIK has over 15 years of
experience in the wind energy industry. With its various services, including wind turbine
troubleshooting and rotor blade field balancing, the company sets new standards in the industry.
