Contents of this Manual
Chapter 1 Introduction
In addition to an introduction and a list of AMS Machinery Manager’s hardware
and software requirements, the Introduction describes the contents of this manual,
and presents and overview of the AMS Machinery Manager architecture.
Infrared Analysis
Infrard Analysis provides hardware and software to set up and maintain a compre-
hensive thermography program. It lets you identify the equipment to be scanned,
the monitoring schedule, specific temperature limits, and other information
needed to construct a database that defines the monitoring procedures for your
program. Infrared Analysis supports generating and downloading routes, and
retrieving and documenting images captured with the VDC. The software lets you
generate reports in different formats, as well as perform analysis using the annota-
tions feature.
MotorViewTM
MotorView is the optional Induction Motor Analysis program that analyzes the fre-
quency spectra of a motor’s electrical supply current to detect rotor-related elec-
trical faults. These include broken rotor bars, high-resistance joints, voids in
aluminum cast rotors, and cracked rotor end rings in squirrel-cage induction
motors.
OilView®
OilView is a multi-functional predictive maintenance tool for immediate, on-site
evaluation of in-service lubricating fluids. The OilView software is used in conjunc-
tion with an oil laboratory, a minilab, or both. OilView is available in three configu-
rations:
The Trivector Laboratory Data Import and Viewer configuration allows the
user to automatically access the CSI Trivector lab via modem, upload data,
and view the data in tabular and graphical reports.
The Laboratory Data Edit/Entry and Import configuration supports
importing data from CSI’s lab and from other leading industrial oil analysis
labs as well. It is fully integrated with AMS Machinery Manager, and
allows you to add, edit, or perform further analysis on the data.
The Wear Debris Analysis configuration performs detailed wear debris
analysis (WDA), and captures and stores images acquired with the OilView
Shop Microscope and other instruments.
Vibration Analysis
The Vibration Analysis tab enables you to track, display, analyze and report dual-
channel, cross-channel, and transient data collected with the CSI Model 2120-2
Machinery Analyzer equipped with special purpose programs: Advanced Two-
Channel and Advanced Transient.
The Advanced Two-Channel program allows for dual and cross-channel data to be
acquired and stored. The Advanced Transient program allows you to acquire time
waveform data for machinery with long cycle times or for machinery that runs
intermittently. This data may then be post-processed in Vibration Analysis.
RBMwizard™
RBMwizard is designed to assist you in building a Reliability Based Maintenance
(RBM) database quickly by automating many of the steps in the process. RBM-
wizard operates by leading you through typical Equipment choices and then cre-
ating the necessary database and configuration files based on your input.
RBMwizard is intended to complement the capabilities of AMS Machinery Man-
ager’s traditional tools: Database Setup (DBASE), Stored Database Manager
(DATMGR), and Database Utility Functions (DBUTLY).
RBMview
RBMview for AMS Machinery Manager is a tool which a provides high-level over-
view of a your entire plant Machinery Health Manager program. RBMview is
designed to provide efficient processing of information to achieve the following
goals:
• Provide a central location for current and historical Machinery Health
information about equipment.
• Provide a means to track and monitor Machinery Health events such as
alarms and problems.
• Establish a magnitude or rank of significance of information and events
relating to equipment.
• Present a high level view of the current status of equipment while allowing
you to “drill down” or navigate to specific records.
• Provide a means to generate and track work orders, reports, and graphs
related to equipment.
• Enable integration of information directly from Emerson’s AMS Machinery
Manager and also from other vendors’ databases via external information/
enterprise interfaces such as Machinery Information Management Open
Systems Alliance (MIMOSA) tools and functions.
With many new features and functions, RBMview is the successor to the Master-
Trend Case Histories Compilation (COMPIL) and the Automated Report Gener-
ation (REPORT) modules.

With a Network License, the Database Server may be installed on any Win32 net-
work server. It is recommended that there be multiple Database Servers in a WAN
environment, one per LAN. The TCP/IP network protocol must be running on
both the client and the server computers.
RBMview Database
The RBMview Database is created in addition to AMS Machinery Manager data-
bases. This RBMview Database is designed to be a central repository for informa-
tion about your RBM program. Emerson recommends having one .mdb file for
each .RBM file. You can import data into RBMview from AMS Machinery Manager
or other external information/enterprise databases.
Information typically enters RBMview from AMS Machinery Manager applications
(or other similar sources) such as Exception Analysis (EXPORT) or Automated
Diagnostic Analysis (Nspectr) which report Alarm and/or Problem “Events.”
Component Warehouses
Supplied with AMS Machinery Manager are read only libraries of existing compo-
nents such as electric motors. The items in the CSI Warehouse are stored in the
CSI_cmp.wh database file. Components from the CSI library are pre-configured
with known information such as horsepower, number of phases, and number of
rotor bars.You cannot change a Component in the read-only CSI Warehouse. How-
ever, you can copy the item to the User Warehouse and then edit the configuration.
This allows you to modify and then re-use the configuration. The items in the User
Warehouse are stored in the usr_cmp.wh database file.
Also contained within the database are analysis parameter sets, alarm limit sets, and
fault frequency sets which provide information concerning the collection, analysis,
display, and storage of the acquired data.

Areas are the top level of organization within an AMS Machinery Manager data-
base. Each Area contains a collection of Equipment that are logically grouped
together based on physical or functional relationships, location, etc., (for example,
a paper machine, a winder section, or a power station).
Equipment
Under Areas, Pieces of Equipment are the next level of organization within a data-
base. A piece of Equipment is usually a working unit that consists of a driver, a
driven unit, and associated components (for example, a pump, a motor, or a
gearbox).
Measurement Points
Measurement points are locations or positions on the Equipment where the sensor
is placed in order to take a measurement. All measurement points on a piece of
Equipment are grouped together under the piece of Equipment.

Analysis Parameter Sets
An analysis parameter set (APS) includes a group of individual analysis parameters
that divide the frequency spectrum into bands that are individually measured and
analyzed. Each frequency band is designed to contain a segment of the spectrum
where specific machinery frequencies occur, such as the 1x turning speed
(1xRPM), turning speed harmonics, bearing frequencies, etc.
Analysis parameter sets may also contain other non-spectral data such as NxRPM
amplitude and phase, DC-Gap, etc. In addition, each analysis parameter set con-
tains instructions that tell the machinery analyzer how data are to be collected, ana-
lyzed, and stored during data collection for each measurement point.
Note
Analysis Parameter sets may be set up automatically using the RBM-
wizard application.
Analysis Parameter sets are independent of the database hierarchy and can be
assigned to many different measurement points on Equipment using one of the
following methods:
• Assign user-defined analysis parameter sets.
• Assign from the sixteen (16) default periodic analysis parameter sets, the
eleven (11) default ultrasonic parameter sets, and one default oil parameter
set that are included with AMS Machinery Manager.
Note
AMS Machinery Manager allows for the creation of up to 512 analysis
parameter sets per database. However, since many measurement
points can usually be analyzed in an identical manner, it is common
for only a few unique parameter sets to be required–even in a large
database.
Note
RBMwizard will create sets appropriate for equipment setup and
operational conditions.
Note
There is no “overall signal” for the Online, Oil, and Ultrasonic com-
ponents of AMS Machinery Manager.
Alarm limit sets are independent of the database hierarchy and can be assigned to
many different measurement points on Equipment using one of the following
methods:
• Assign user-defined alarm parameter sets.
Note
Alarm Limit sets may be set up automatically using the RBMwizard
application.
Note
RBMwizard will create sets appropriate for equipment setup and
operational conditions.
• Assign from the sixteen (16) default periodic alarm parameter sets, the
eleven (11) default ultrasonic parameter sets, and one default oil parameter
set that are included with AMS Machinery Manager.
Alarm Levels
The following text describes the various alarm levels used in many of AMS
Machinery Manager’s components.
Fault Level
This is the most severe alarm level and indicates Equipment failure. For vibration-
type signals, fault alarm values can usually be found in published standards for var-
ious types of equipment.
Alert Level
This alarm level indicates that the Equipment is approaching failure. The Equip-
ment should be evaluated in detail and monitored at shorter intervals.
Absolute Value
The first four alarm types of AMS Machinery Manager use an absolute value–the
alarm level always equals this fixed value. Absolute values are used when the vibra-
tion amplitude value (or other measured quantity) should remain relatively con-
stant, and equipment degradation is based on an increase or decrease from that
value.
Absolute Delta
The last three alarm types use absolute delta–the alarm level that is derived from
the baseline value plus or minus the absolute delta value. The baseline value is
established from the very first measurement; therefore, there will be no alarm
checking for the first measurement. The values taken from the first measurement
should be examined carefully to ensure that they are normal and suitable for estab-
lishing the alarm levels.
Absolute delta values are used when the vibration amplitude value (or other mea-
sured quantity such as phase readings or DC gap voltages) will be found within a
wide range of values, but will not normally change significantly from measurement
to measurement.
Note
When using absolute delta alarm types, it is especially important to
make sure the initial baseline value is correct.
Out-of-Window
This alarm type uses the same configuration as the Dual Upper Level alarm. The
Out-of-Window alarm type, however, provides an indication on the machinery ana-
lyzer for the Lo alarm as protection against collecting an abnormally low measure-
ment.
Although the Out-of-Window alarm type is the same as the Dual Upper Level alarm
in AMS Machinery Manager, they are treated differently in the Model 2100 series
machinery analyzer as shown below.
Note
The Dual Lower Level alarm requires that the Baseline Ratio be spec-
ified at a value less than one.
Note
When using the Dual Lower Delta alarm type, the baseline ratio must
be specified as a value less than one.
Note
The early warning alarm using the baseline ratio and the weak side
alarm are not used with the Dual Window Delta alarm type.
The “A” alarm code is the result of a trend analysis on each signal parameter in
order to detect developing faults that may occur before data are again collected.
AMS Machinery Manager uses linear extrapolation on the signal parameter values
collected during the three previous months. If the extrapolated value of a param-
eter exceeds the Fault Level within a projected three-measurement point interval,
a type A alarm code occurs.
AMS Machinery Manager first calculates the data trend slope and its Alarm Code.
It then projects Days To Alarm or when the Absolute Fault Level will probably
occur. AMS Machinery Manager reports any projection under 300 days. Question
marks appear for any projection over 300 days or in cases where insufficient histor-
ical data exist to establish a trend.
Note
This alarm status feature will only be enabled if you have purchased
RBMview Full.
There are two color schemes for displaying alarm status. One scheme has five cate-
gories and the other scheme has three. These schemes can be seen in tree views
and alarm/status reports.
Note
Not all tree views and alarm/status reports support alarm status col-
orization and icons at this time.
or Low Alert
or High Alert
or Low Fault
or High Fault
or Alert
or Fault
Note
Most AMS Machinery Manager programs set explicit alarms at the
Measurement Point level. An exception is Corrective, which sets
explicit alarms at the Equipment level.
Derived alarm severity: this alarm severity comes from looking at all the alarms
beneath a node and selecting the worst alarm as its rating. For example, at the
Equipment level, the derived alarm severity will be the worst alarm from all the
alarms at the Measurement Point level underneath it. At the Area level, the derived
alarm severity will be the worst alarm from all the Equipment levels beneath it. For
a visual representation of this hierarchy, see “The AMS Machinery Manager Data-
base” on page 2-1.
Not Set alarm severity: indicates an alarm status has not been set.
Each node has a set of alarm severity values. These are broken down by technology
and further by analysis type within each technology. For example, when an applica-
tion such as Export sets a node’s alarm severity, it will not be setting the overall
alarm status. Rather, it will be setting the status for a single technology and analysis
type. The overall status can be determined by looking across all of these values.
User Interaction
The following describes the alarm status display features of AMS Machinery Man-
ager tree views.
• When you right click on a given node in the tree, a context sensitive dialog
box appears from which you may select:
Alarm Details dialog box with “Show Analysis Types Per Technology” selected.
Note
If you do not see the “3-dot” button beside the Measurement Point
listing, it means an Equipment has not been selected and the box
beside Equipment is empty. To select a piece of Equipment to look at,
click on the “3-dot” button and select. Once you have selected, the “3-
dot” button will appear beside the Measurement Point box.
The View Alarm dialog box gives you details on the explicit alarm, which set the
alarm severity level. Details include the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point
of the alarm. This information may not have been in the Alarm Details box. For
example, you may have selected View Alarm for a Derived alarm. If so, the Area,
Equipment, and Measurement Point context for the View Alarm dialog will be dif-
ferent than it was on the Alarm Details dialog.
You have two methods for exiting the View Alarm dialog box. You may press the
Alarm Details button in this dialog box. This will take you back to the Alarm Details
dialog box. However, the Area, Equipment, and Measurement Point context of the
Alarm Details dialog box will be changed to match the context of this, the View
Alarm dialog box.
Note
An ignore alarm can be established even for an alarm that hasn’t
been set.
Clear Ignore — If you want to undo an alarm that has been set to be ignored, select
that alarm, and then click on the Clear Ignore button. The “i” disappears and the
status of that alarm appears.
Show Analysis Types Per Technology — Click in the check box beside this text in
order to show all the analysis types set for a technology. Unclicking the box shows
only the Technologies.
Note
When you show only the Technologies, the highest alarm for all anal-
ysis types for each technology is displayed. This will cause analysis type
alarms that have lower severities to be hidden. For example, if a Vibra-
tion-Parameter alarm has a severity of 60 and a Vibration-Envelope
alarm has a severity of 30, you would only see the Vibration-Parameter
alarm. It would not be obvious that a Vibration-Envelope alarm exists.
29
Note
The icons on the database tree are only available if you have pur-
chased RBMview Full.
30
This box displays the different technologies. Those technologies with check marks
in the boxes beside them will be the ones with active Alarm Tree Filters. You can
turn on the filters for an entire technology category by checking in the box beside
the category head of a technology. For example, you can check Periodic Vibration
and it will turn on all the analysis types under that Technology category. Or you can
check those individual analysis types you want filtered.
If this is checked, all AMS Machinery Manager programs will use the same filters
and the filters set here will apply to all AMS Machinery Manager programs. If this
is not checked, the filters set here will only apply to the current program.
31
Note
Fault Frequencies is an optional, advanced feature and is not essential
in order for the system to function properly.
Note
Fault Frequencies are automatically generated by Plotdata using con-
figuration information. It does not create fault frequency setups on
the measurement point.
Note
You can also access many of these options using the right-mouse func-
tion. The right-mouse functions are described in “Tools Menu Right-
Mouse Functions” on page 2-39 below.

DBASE Overview
The Database Setup/Management (DBASE) program enables you to establish
and maintain an AMS Machinery Manager database. It provides options for cre-
ating a new database and adding, deleting, modifying, or printing database infor-
mation.
From the Setup/Communications tab of the AMS Machinery Manager main
menu, select Database Setup. The Database Management Functions menu will
then be displayed.
3-1
Before getting started with the DBASE program, we need to discuss options that are
available from the top (main) menu. The pulldown menus on this screen provide
some important functions that are discussed in the following
sections.
These functions allow you to select a database for use by AMS Machinery Manager.
Current Group - Shows the group that is currently active.
DB Name - Lists the names of the databases that are listed in the active group, which
is shown as the Current Group at the top of this window.
Select Database As Read Only - Allows you to read from (and not write to) the
selected database.
Sort by Most Recently Used Order- Displays the databases with the most recently
accessed database at the top of the list.
Show Database Server - Select this option to display the name of the Database
Server associated with each database.
Select Group - You can use this button to select a database group. Database groups
are comprised of specific databases found in the Default Group. (The Default
Group contains all databases in your personal Database list.) Each user can specify
their own unique database groups, and only the groups applicable to the current
user are displayed.
3-3
Grouping databases provides a convenient way to create reports or analyze data
using multiple databases, and it makes it easier to search for a specific database. A
password and group name can only be assigned to database groups that have been created
in this way, since the Default Group does not support a password or a group name.
Note
When connected to a machinery analyzer, if a Database Group is defined and
currently active, and CSICOM’s Password Setup is set to “ON”, you will be
prompted to type in the Database Group’s password and group name.
Clicking Select Group causes the dialog box shown below to appear.
To back out of the Group Selection dialog box, click on the Cancel button.
Other Buttons. The other buttons discussed below allow you to manage your per-
sonal database groups.

By selecting the Gather Pnts - > Grps option, DBASE attempts to pair the measure-
ment points. You must have used one of the measurement point ID characters to
denote the component for this function to work. All (up to 3) measurement points
with the same component character, sensor type, sensor position, and sensor orien-
tation are paired.
If the equipment is highlighted, then the measurement points for that equipment
are paired. If an area is highlighted, then DBASE goes through all the equipment
in that area. If the database is highlighted, DBASE goes through all the equipment
in all areas of the database.

Note
These examples are for an English database. If the database data is
Metric, you must use meters for D.
Reference Speed: — the normal operating speed of the machine (entered in revo-
lutions per minute). If the data is corrupted, DBASE will use Reference Speed as
the normalizing frequency for order-type spectral plots.
Reference Load: — specified in percent, this is the normal operating load of the
machine.
Fixed Tach Location? — this option can be used if a tachometer will be connected
to measure RPM on a variable-speed machine with measurement points that run
at different speeds. If only one location is accessible for placement of the tachom-
eter, answer “Yes” to enable this feature.
When using Fixed Tach Location, the program will automatically calculate the run-
ning speed for every measurement point based on the ratio of the reference RPM
of the machine to the reference RPM of each measurement point. For more informa-
tion about Fixed Tach Location, see “When and How to Use the Fixed Tach Location”

NOTE: The following Units Type Codes are used primarily by MotorView
Current Used for electric current measurements in Amps
Flux/Low Freq For use with the flux coil. This should be used for low
frequency, high resolution (3200 lines) flux analysis. Low
frequency is defined in this instance as no more than the
maximum of (2xLF)+5Hz or LF+(2xRPM)+5Hz.
Flux/Slot Pass For use with the flux coil. This type should be used for high
frequency flux analysis. High frequency is defined in this
instance as the larger of stator slot pass or rotor slot pass plus
400 Hz.
Shaft Voltage Used for shaft voltage measurements using the 348SP shaft
probe in volts.
Shaft Current Used for shaft current measurements using the 348SP shaft
probe in Amps.
Alarm Limit Set ID: — designates the alarm limit set that will be applied to the anal-
ysis parameter set specified for this measurement point. Enter the number (0
through 512) that corresponds to the desired alarm limit set. Enter a 0 to bypass the
alarm checking feature.
Note
For measurement points that have been specified as DC-type signals
in a database with few similar type signals, the recommended proce-
dure is to enter the alarm limits on the second page of the measure-
ment point window (enter a 0 for Alarm Limit Set ID). However, if
there are many such DC-type signals within the same database, it is
preferable to define an alarm limit set for these signals even though
only the overall value will be used (this procedure is recommended
for keypad and temperature readings as well).
Note
For dynamic measurement point types, if 0 is entered for alarm limit
set, then no alarming will be performed. Please note that in the
routes, if these points are set to store spectra or waveform on high
status, then these points will never store spectra and/or waveform.
27
28
For example, if a 1 to 5 volt span on the input signal corresponds with values of 100
to 900 psi, the DC Offset should be entered as 0.5 volts and the sensor sensitivity as
5 mV/psi (0.005 V/psi).
Note
The Tools/Calc. Sens and Tools/DC Off. selections provide simpli-
fied calculators to determine both sensitivity and DC offset.
Caution!
Exercise care when using this option since an inappropriate value can seriously
affect the quality of your data.
HFD Full Scale Range: — not used with CSI’s present family of 1010 and 21xx
meters but retained for compatibility with some very early data collector models.
Lowest/Highest Valid Signal Level: — specifies limits (in engineering units) for
the lowest and highest readings that are expected for this measurement point.
Readings below or above these limits may indicate an equipment malfunction or
incorrect measurement procedure. If you want to disable one or both of these
limits, enter a 0 for that parameter.
Integration Mode Override: — select from None, Analog, or Digital.
Overall Mode Override: — select from None, Analog, Digital RMS, Digital True
Peak and Digital Average Peak..

Add Set
To add a new analysis parameter set, click the Add Set command, and the program
will advance to the Define Periodic Parameter Set window. Enter the new set
number and click OK to advance to the three-tab Periodic Analysis Parameter Set
window (see note). After accepting this dialog box, the Analysis Parameter Set (#)
- (Name) dialog box is displayed. Make any desired changes and click OK to com-
plete the process of adding a new set.
Note
Since the new set will be identical to the set highlighted, highlight the
set closest to the desired set before executing the “Add Set”. You can
then modify the fields as desired.
Edit Set
To modify an existing set, highlight the Parameter Set Description with the cursor,
click the OK button, and the program will advance to the Periodic Analysis Param-
eter Set dialog box.
Set Description: — can contain up to 32 characters that describe the analysis param-
eter set.
Spectral Frequency Setup: — Select a frequency-based (Hz) analysis parameter set
or an order-based analysis parameter set.
Low Frequency Signal Conditioning Limit (Hz): — defines the lowest frequency (in
default frequency units) that will be used in overall signal and analysis parameter
calculations; all frequencies less than this value are excluded from these calcula-
tions. Enter the low frequency limit in Hertz or CPM, depending on the Default
Frequency Units specified for this database.
Note
When using an order-based parameter set, the analyzer multiplies the
order value (specified for Upper/Lower Frequency For FFT Analysis)
times the RPM that is entered during data collection. If this results in
an upper frequency value that falls between available frequency selec-
tions, the analyzer will default to the next higher selection for this
value.
Lower Freq (Hz/Order): — For CSI analyzers such as the Model 2117/2120, this
option is ignored.
Note
The number of averages affects the total amount of time that will be
required to take a measurement with the equipment analyzer–the
greater the number of averages, the more time will be required.

Fullband The overall of the measurement taken from 0 to 20 kHz at 3200
lines resolution.
Note
If the Upper Frequency is 0.0 and the Lower Frequency is greater
than 0.0, this band will be interpreted as the energy from the Lower
Frequency to the maximum frequency of the spectrum (whatever
that is).

Fault “D”: — For absolute alarm type codes, this specifies the measured value indi-
cating that the piece of equipment has failed. Fault alarm values can usually be
found in published standards for various types of equipment. For delta alarm type
codes (positive numbers only), these are the changes from the baseline levels that
represent equipment failure.
Note
If the value entered here is 0.0, no alarm testing will be performed for
this parameter, even if other entries (i.e., “C”...) are non-zero.
Alert “C”: — For absolute alarm type codes, this specifies the measured value indi-
cating an approaching equipment failure. For delta alarm type codes (positive
numbers only), these are the changes from baseline levels that indicate
approaching failure. Alert values should be chosen so that once reached, there is
sufficient time to plan for orderly repair of the equipment.
Weak Side “Lo/Hi”: — The weak side alarm provides protection against improper
collection of data. For dual upper alarm type, this is the lowest level an equipment
in good condition should exhibit. For dual lower alarm type, this is the highest level
equipment in good condition should exhibit. The weak side value should corre-
spond to a level where sensor readings are high/low enough to be valid, but not
high/low enough to be a meaningful reading.
Add Set
To add a new alarm limit set, click the Add Set command, and the program will
advance to the Define Periodic Alarm Limit Set dialog box.
Note
The new set will be identical to the set highlighted. Therefore, high-
light the set closest to the desired set before executing the “Add Set”.
You can then modify the fields as desired.
Accepting the Define Periodic Alarm Limit Set dialog box will display the Periodic

CSI/User — CSI refers to the CSI component warehouse (for previous CSI users,
this is the old BEARING, GEAR, BELT, MOTOR files). All these files are now com-
bined into what is called the component warehouse. One CSI component ware-
house and one user defined warehouse is associated with each AMS Machinery
Manager database (there is only one CSI supplied warehouse). You can define as many
user defined warehouses as you want but, only one can be associated with a partic-
ular AMS Machinery Manager database. The association of the warehouses to the
database is done while performing the GLOBAL setup in DBASE.
Number of Harmonics — specifies the number of harmonics (up to 12) of the fault
frequency that will be represented on the spectral display and also listed on print-
outs. (For BRG type, use a negative number of harmonics to indicate the inner race
is fixed and the outer race is rotating.)

Note
If your data collectors have Database Name Support turned on, this
will not cause a problem.
Bearing Frequencies (BRG): — Four basic bearing frequencies are available: the
fundamental train frequency (FTF), the ball spin frequency (BSF), the ball pass
outer race frequency (BPFO), and the ball pass inner race frequency (BPFI).
When you select the BRG Input Type, all four of these frequencies are extracted
from the bearing data set. To obtain additional harmonics at these frequencies
(except the FTF), input the highest desired harmonic in the Second Modifier. Har-
monics of the FTF are not calculated, because bearing faults are rarely (if ever) cor-
rectly observed at multiples of this frequency. Bearing faults generally manifest as
difference frequencies.
The BRG Input Type requires the definition of the following items on the Fault Fre-
quency Definition menu:
• a Reference Frequency, which is a zero (0) to designate the current speed as
the reference (when viewing a spectra, the current speed is the located
RPM) or enter a fault frequency entry number (1 through 6) that has been
a previously defined Fault Frequency Description on the same definition
menu(reference entry number must be less than the current entry
number).
• the Component or Set ID specifies the entry number from the bearing file
to get the bearing frequencies
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM): — Defines the Driver RPM, a specific point RPM,
or the RPM of all other points on the piece of equipment which are different from
the current point displayed.
Gearing Frequencies (GEAR): — The gearmesh frequency and the output shaft
speed are the two basic gearing frequencies available. The gear data file has many
more calculated frequencies available to the analyst, but the two mentioned here
are the only ones retained for fault frequency sets. Specify up to 12 additional har-
monics in GEAR by using the Second Modifier. Unlike BRG, GEAR requires that
you specify a First Modifier, which refers to the shaft number.
In the above example, line two is using the frequency established in line one, Equip-
ment speed (RPM type frequency using -1 as the Set ID) as its reference speed. Each
remaining gearbox point will use the same Fault Frequency setup, regardless of the
point speed.
In the example above, the first six harmonics of the equipment running speed
define the fault frequencies. The program does not accept any higher harmonic
than 12. If the running speed is 10 Hz, then the fault frequencies generated by this
example are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 Hz.
Modulated Frequencies (MOD): — This Input Type requires entries in all four cat-
egories of the fault frequency set. The entry under Reference Frequency refers to
the frequency you want to have modulated by another frequency. Enter a number
(1 to 6) for Reference Frequency which refers to a fault frequency already defined
on the current menu. Or use zero if the equipment turning speed is the desired ref-
erence frequency from the spectra or waveform under consideration. The number
(1 to 6) under Component or Set ID also refers to a fault frequency already defined
on the current menu. This frequency is multiplied by the First Modifier to yield the
modulating frequency. The default value is 1.0. The Second Modifier defines the
number of sidebands reported on each side of the Reference Frequency.
Modulated Frequency = 40 Hz
Sideband Frequencies = 30, 35, 45, and 50 Hz
Fixed Frequencies (FIX): — This fault frequency Input Type proves the easiest to
use. You only need to specify one parameter–the First Modifier–after you select
FIX for the Input Type. You may also reference this entry with other input types.
Use the Second Modifier, if desired, to define the number of harmonics of the
fixed frequency that is displayed. The Reference Frequency and the Component
or Set ID fields are not used for the FIX Input Type.
The example shown above specifies the frequency of interest in the First Modifier.
Use units of Hz or CPM, depending on how the measurement point units are
established in the database.
Belt Frequencies (BELT): — The belt fault frequencies are extracted from the belt
file that you have created and stored using the FRQCAL program of AMS
Machinery Manager. Although there are many belt-related frequencies stored in a
belt file, only two frequencies (and their harmonics) are extracted for the fault fre-
quency set: the belt traveling frequency and the other pulley (or sheave) frequency.
You may enter the FRQCAL program and use the RECALL function key to obtain
the values stored in the belt data set. The values listed are multiplied by the refer-
ence frequency (the reference pulley or sheave speed) in order to obtain the actual
fault frequencies. For example, to obtain the first three harmonics of the belt fre-
quencies stored in file number 91 for the belt type SKF 1276, you would enter the
following information:
The number of times the additive factor will be added to the Reference Frequency
is as follows:
1st frequency = Ref. Freq + 1 x (Component/Set ID x 1st Modifier)
2nd frequency = Ref. Freq + 2 x (Component/Set ID x 1st Modifier)
nth frequency = Ref. Freq + nth x (Component/Set ID x 1st Modifier)
With a turning speed of 10 (based on a Reference Frequency of “0” and an RPM at
the measurement point and equipment speed of 10 Hz), fault frequency lines will
be displayed at 220, 430, and 640 Hz. Calculations are as follows:
1st Frequency: (1.5 x 140) + 10 = 220
2nd Frequency: 2 x (1.5 x 140) + 10 = 430
3rd Frequency: 3 x (1.5 x 140) + 10 = 640
Simple Mode (***): — The Simple Mode method cannot construct all of the fault
frequency types that are available when using the Detail Set method. If *** is spec-
ified as the Input Type, it means that there is a detailed fault frequency set assigned
that cannot be represented in the Reference Frequency, Component or Set ID, or
First/Second Modifier fields.
Type Output
Example 1:
You have a variable speed motor turning a fan. The motor is connected to the fan
through a gear. The only place you can place the tach is on one of the fan blades.
Assume that the gear is a step down gear so that the fan turns at a tenth of the motor
running speed.
In the Equipment Definition Screen, set up the following:
Equipment Type Code: It must be a Variable Speed Equipment.
Load can be either fixed or variable.
Enter Speed Only Once: Select this option if equipment speed does
not change during the time it takes to acquire
data for all the measurement points on that
piece of equipment. Do not select if equip-
ment speed changes during this time.
Reference RPM: 200.0 (This number is arbitrary. The only
important values are the ratios of the equip-
ment speeds to measurement point speeds.)
Fixed Tach Location: Select this option.
In the Measurement Point Definition Screen, set up the following:
Reference RPM of Fan Points: 200.0 (Remember, we are taching the
fan, therefore, the “Equipment Speed”
will be the speed measured at the fan
points. The ratio of the Equipment
Speed to Measurement Point Speed
should be 1:1).
Reference RPM of Motor Points: 2000.0 (Remember, we are taching the fan,
therefore, the “Equipment Speed” will be 10
times slower than the motor point speeds.
The ratio of the Equipment Speed to Mea-
surement Point Speed should be 1:10).

Note
Emerson strongly recommends using the “CSI Default Oil AP Set” if
at all possible. This set includes parameters which are intended to
cover all minilab and lab parameters (OilView software has filters to
limit the actual number of parameters viewed). A major advantage in
using the “CSI Default Oil AP Set” is that it supports many predefined
alarm limit sets for many different equipment types.
Note
Since the new set will be identical to the set highlighted, highlight the
set closest to the desired set before executing the “Add Set”. You can
then modify the fields as desired.
Delete Set
The Delete Set command can be used to delete a highlighted Analysis Parameter

eter set.
Number of Analysis Parameters: — enter the number of individual oil parameters
(up to 96) that are to be tested and trended in this analysis parameter set.
Caution!
It is not good practice to change the analysis parameter set that has been assigned
to a measurement point after data have been collected and stored for that
point–trend data plots will exhibit unusual changes around the date that the
alteration occurred. If the analysis parameter must be changed, Emerson rec-
ommends that the collected trend data be deleted from the database, and the asso-
ciated statistical values be reset to zero, before making the change.
61
Description: — 12-character field that is used to describe and identify each indi-
vidual analysis parameter.

Overview
The Stored Data Management program, DATMGR, performs basic utility func-
tions on the spectral, waveform, and trend data sets stored in the database.
DATMGR program functions include printed summaries of all stored data sets,
deletion of data sets and notepad entries, modification of spectral and waveform
data set labels, assignment of local spectra and waveforms, and the capability to
change trend data statistics.
Getting Started
From the Setup/Communications tab of the AMS Machinery Manager Main
Menu, select Stored Data Management. The options on the Data Management
Functions menu will then be displayed.

Data Management Options
Selecting Data Management Options brings up the Data Mgt Functions dialog box,
which displays the organization of the current database in tree form.
Clicking on the + symbol to the left of an area allows you to expand it to piece(s) of
Equipment. Clicking on the + symbol to the left of a piece of Equipment allows you
to expand it to the Measurement Point(s) level. Highlighting any item on the tree
(from Database, Area, Equipment, or Point) enables you to use any of the four
Function Bar options: Print, Delete, AsgnOfR-Spec, or AsgnOfR-Wave.
Note
You can use the File pulldown menu or the Open Database icon to
change databases.
Note
Depending on the options that have been selected, the Tools pull-
down in the Menu Bar provides the option to “Show Routes on Tree”
or “Show MeasPnt (Measurement Points) on Tree” (Ctrl-S).
This Menu Bar option toggles between two options: Show Routes on a database
tree or Show Measurement Points on a database tree.
When Show Routes on Tree is selected, the Data Mgt Functions screen displays a
list of routes under each area like the one shown below.
When Show MeasPnt on Tree is selected, the Data Mgt Functions screen displays a

by ID’s.
Equipment ID Filter: — if the previous field (Filter by Equipment IDs) is checked,
you can use up to 10 characters to define a filter. An asterisk (*) can be used in any
position as a wild card. For instance, if the filter is ST********, any ID whose first
character is S and second character is T will pass the filter because the remaining
characters are wild cards (which means any character will match).
Filter by Measurement Point IDs? — add a checkmark if you want to filter by Mea-
surement Point IDs.
Measurement Point ID Filter: — see Equipment ID Filter for a general description.
Adding a checkmark in front of any of the following options allows you to print the

no “Extent of Spectra to Print” and “Extent of Waveform to Print” will
appear if an oil (Tribology) measurement point is selected. Also,
there be no spectra or waveform information under Available Data.
Conversely, “Extent of Gr. (Gross) Scan to Print” will be added to an
online measurement point, as well as gross scan information under
the Available Data heading.
Available Data: — this section lists the measurement point data that is available for
printing including the number of trend, spectra, and waveforms and the time
spans during which they were taken.

Clear Baslin
In the early stages of a vibration analysis program, there may be data sets collected
and stored that contain errors or erratic values, because the analyst is learning how
to use the device. AMS Machinery Manager automatically assigns the first set of
vibration data stored for a particular measurement point as its baseline data set.
If you do not wish to establish this first set as baseline data, select this option to reset
the baseline values to zero. The data sets previously stored are not destroyed how-
ever, the next vibration data set stored in the database for the location(s) of interest
will automatically become the new baseline.
Clr Ave/Sigm
Enables you to reset to zero any averages or standard deviations calculated for a
measurement location. These values are calculated from a sample of data sets as
defined by the Measurement Point Information window. After this option is acti-
vated, the average and standard deviation is calculated from the data sets subse-
quently stored in the database. Any previously-stored data sets are ignored for this
calculation.
Manual Edit
Enables you to manually enter the statistical values used for determining the alarm
conditions for the acquired data. You are required to define the baseline, average,
and standard deviation for each analysis parameter associated with each measure-
ment point. With this option, you are never required to collect and store data sets
for a complete statistical sample.
Caution!
Modifying trend data statistics is a powerful tool for the analyst. If improperly
used, however, RBMview alarm reporting features can be made misleading and
ineffective. Exercise extreme caution when performing any of these baseline and
statistical value changes.
14
Filter by Area IDs? — add a check mark if you want to filter by Area IDs.
Area ID Filter: — if the previous field (Filter by Area IDs) is checked, you can use
up to four characters to define a filter. An asterisk (*) can be used in any position as
a wild card. For instance, if the filter is ST**, any ID whose first character is S and
second character is T will pass the filter because the third and fourth characters are
wild cards (which means any character will match).
Filter by Equipment IDs? — add a check mark if you want to filter by Equipment
IDs.
Equipment ID Filter: — use up to 10 characters to define this field. See Area ID
Filter for a general description.
Filter by Measurement Point IDs? — add a check mark if you want to filter by Mea-
surement Point IDs.

Limit Point IDs - This option may be used to select and/or limit the points to be
transferred based on the three-character measurement point IDs. The available
values in this drop-down list are as follows:
Value Description
First Point ID and Second Point ID - These fields are available only if the “Limit
Point IDs” option is not “Off.”
If the “Limit Point IDs” option is “Include,” a measurement point ID must match
the filter of either the “First Point ID” field or the “Second Point ID” field before
being transferred. If the “Limit Point IDs” option is “Exclude,” a measurement
point ID that matches the filter of either the “First Point ID” field or the “Second
Point ID” field will not be transferred. In both cases, if the “Second Point ID” field is
blank, only the “First Point ID” field will be used to determine which measurement
points will be transferred.
Actual characters from the measurement point IDs can be used in these two fields
as well as the question mark (“?”) wildcard character. The question mark wildcard
character indicates that any character will be accepted for the position it represents.

Note
At least one of the toggle buttons must be selected. Both toggle but-
tons may be selected at the same time to allow for all parameters (gen-
eral information and periodic vibration) to be included in the drop-
down lists.
Delete Row - This button removes the contents of the currently active row. This
delete affects either the filter or the action pane, depending on which is active at
the time the button is clicked.
Delete All Rows - This button removes the contents of all of the rows in either the
filter or the action pane, depending on which is active at the time the button is
clicked.

The filter pane of the Filter/Actions Window has three columns.
Filter Field - This column is a drop-down list of possible parameters that may be
used as a filter. Select the parameter from the drop-down list for which the filter is
to be created. The parameters that make up this list are determined by the Toggle
General and Toggle Periodic Vibration buttons.
Note
The question mark (“?”) wildcard may be used when building a filter.
It is valid only in the Value column and only when a drop-down list is
not available. The question mark wildcard represents any single char-
acter. Examples are as follows:
Action Pane
The action pane of the Filter/Actions Window has two columns.
Note
More than one filter and action may be specified for any one modifi-
cation. The combined rows of filters and the combined rows of
actions will act as a Boolean “and” to create a filter set and an action
set. In other words, all of the filter rows must be true in order for the
modifications in all of the action rows to be made to the selected
equipment.
Note
The order in which a database is opened, the filter set is built, and the
action set is built does not matter. However, all three steps must occur
prior to executing the actions.

the “File” menu to open a database. The Database Selection Window will be dis-
played with a list of available databases. Select the desired database from the list and
then click the “OK” button. The structure tree of the opened database will be dis-
played in a window. Navigating through the tree in the Database Window, select the
measurement points that are to be modified. The measurement points selection
must be made on the right pane of the Database Window. More than one measure-
ment point may be selected for modification.
Database Window
Filter/Actions Window
The left side of the Filter/Actions Window is the filter pane, and the right side is the
action pane. The filter pane is used to determine which of the selected measure-
ment points are to be modified based on matching values. The action pane is used to
specify the new values for the fields to be modified.
Filter/Actions Window
Toggle Fault Frequency - This button determines whether or not the fault fre-
quency set parameters are included in the drop-down lists for both the Filter Field
and Action Field. If this button is on, the parameters that will be included in the
drop-down lists are as follows:
Toggle Oil General - This button determines whether or not the general oil param-
eters are included in the drop-down lists for both the Filter Field and Action Field.
If this button is on, the parameters that will be included in the drop-down lists are
as follows:
Note
At least one of the toggle buttons must be selected. More than one of
the “Toggle Pvb General”, “Toggle Pvb Sensor/Signal”, “Toggle Fault
Frequency”, and “Toggle Pvb Alarm” buttons may be selected at the
same time to allow for more parameters to be included in the drop-
down lists. The “Toggle Oil General” and the “Toggle Thermography
General” buttons may only be selected by themselves.
Delete Row - This button removes the contents of the currently active row. This
delete affects either the filter or the action pane, depending on which is active at
the time the button is clicked.
Delete All Rows - This button removes the contents of all of the rows in either the
filter or the action pane, depending on which is active at the time the button is
clicked.
Filter Pane
The filter pane of the Filter/Actions Window has three columns.
Note
The question mark (“?”) wildcard may be used when building a filter.
It is valid only in the Value column and only when a drop-down list is
not available. The question mark wildcard represents any single char-
acter. Examples are as follows:
Action Pane
The action pane of the Filter/Actions Window has two columns.
Action Field - This column is a drop-down list of possible parameters that may be
selected for modification. Select the parameter from the drop-down list for which
the modification is to be made. The parameters that make up this list are deter-
mined by the toggle buttons.
Value - This column is the actual value to which the corresponding Action Field is
to be modified. A drop-down list may be available depending upon which Action
Field was selected. Otherwise, type in the value to which the corresponding Action
Field is to be modified. See the description for the “Value” column in the filter pane
for a table of available drop-down lists.
The MANLOG program allows keyboard entry of trend data into the AMS
Machinery Manager database. This allows data collected by means other than the
Model CSI 2130, CSI 2120 or CSI 2117 and Model 21xx series machinery analyzers
to be used for trend analysis. Also, MANLOG can be used to correct erroneous
data, after is has been stored in the database.
The trend data within the database may be manipulated in one of the following
four ways:
Append - Trend data may be appended to the chronological end of the
database. Date and time checks are performed to maintain the consis-
tency of the database before data are allowed to be appended to the
database file.
Insert - Trend data may be inserted into the database between existing
trend measurements.
Revise - Existing trend data may be updated by an actual value and/or
by date and time. If the date or time is changed, the measurements will
be reordered where necessary.
Delete - Existing trend measurements may be removed from the data-
base. This is not a reversible option.
Caution!
The MANLOG program provides a great deal of power and freedom to alter the
database. Changes in the data will affect reliability maintenance predictions.
Therefore, Emerson strongly recommends that you backup your database before
attempting to alter any data with the functions of MANLOG. This backup pro-
vides a reference point to return to in case of undesired results.
6-1
Note
Within Manlog, references are made to process variables in several
places. The term process variable refers to measurement points
whose unit type code is defined as either Static/DC, temperature, or
keypad. These measurement points always store at most a single
overall trend value, since they cannot reference an analysis parameter
set. Thus, altering trend data for process variables only for a given
machine will generate a list that contains only the points whose unit
type code is static/DC, temperature, or keypad. In this mode, you
may only alter trend data associated with these points.
A route is a list of equipment and measurement points that have been selected
from all of the equipment in an area. This list is arranged in such a manner as to
provide an efficient path (route) for the operator to follow when collecting data.
The route also instructs the machinery analyzer how to collect and store data. All
information transferred to the machinery analyzer from AMS Machinery Manager
must be in the form of a route.
A single route or a number of routes (depending on the analyzer’s memory
capacity) can be downloaded into the machinery analyzer.
The Route Management Program (ROUTE) is used to create and manage routes.
All equipment and measurement points of a route must be from the same area;
however, routes may group equipment in any logical manner such as equipment
located on the same floor, equipment classified with a particular system, etc.
This capability to group equipment may also be used with other AMS Machinery
Manager program modules. For example, the ROUTE program can group similar
equipment for:
Analysis with Diagnostic Plotting (PLOTDATA) or Automated fault Diag-
nostics (NSpectr)
Reporting with Exceptions Reporting (EXPORT)
Global data management with Database Utility Functions (DBUTLY)
Routes can also be generated while using the EXPORT program, and ROUTE can
be used to edit and modify these routes, if necessary.
7-1
Routes can also facilitate data management, i.e., deleting spectra for all measure-
ment points in a route or plotting spectra for all measurement points in a route.
Creating (and deleting) routes will not affect database structure or stored data.
Note
Routes do not affect the definitions of equipment and measurement
points in the other AMS Machinery Manager programs. Routes can
be created, modified, and/or deleted without causing changes in the
definitions within the database.
7-3
Creating A New Route
To create a new route, select Create A New Route from the Route Management
commands Available menu.
Select the desired area from the Area List menu and click the OK button to
advance to the next menu.
Route Definition
Survey Collection Schedule - Represents how often data on the route should be
collected (in days).
Set Next Spectra as Reference — select from the following:
• If Point is Armed — the reference spectra should be spectra taken when the
equipment is in good condition. Normally, the next spectra are only set as
the reference spectra if the points are armed (points can be armed in Stored
Data management program, DATMGR).
• If Point has no Reference — Select this option to set the next spectra as a ref-
erence (if a point has no reference). Choosing this option effectively elimi-
nates the need to arm these points in the Stored Data Management
program (DATMGR).
Caution!
The If Point has no Reference option must be used with care to avoid estab-
lishing bad reference data which mask unreliable equipment conditions.
• Regardless of Point Condition — Select this option to use the next spectra as
reference regardless of the point condition. Choosing this option effectively
eliminates the need to arm these points in the Stored Data Management
program (DATMGR).
Default Data Storage Parameters: - instructs the analyzer to store spectral and
waveform data in one of three ways:
• No Data Stored — The analyzer will not automatically store spectral and/or
waveform data.
Note
Even when the No Data Stored option is selected, you can still acquire
spectral and waveform data for a point by using the Analyzer’s Ana-
lyze/Store Data function immediately after acquiring data for the
point.
• Store Data on High Status — The analyzer will automatically store spectral
and/or waveform data for each measurement point only when a Hi alarm
status is indicated.“Hi Status” is defined in CSICOM, under Route Load
Setup. Here the user specifies which alarm level (defined in Database Setup
Management - DBASE) causes the analyzer to display the Hi-Alarm 1 status
(see the VibView Technical Reference, Chapter 1 Analyzer Communications -
CSICOM for more information).
• Store All Data — The analyzer will automatically store spectral and/or wave-
form data for each measurement point.
Note
Oil, Online, and thermographic points are not downloaded to the
machinery analyzer. Oil, Online, and thermographic routes are used
primarily for reporting and diagnostics. For more information on oil
route and thermographic route data, see the OilView and Infranal-
ysis® on-line help and documentation.
This option (available on the Main Options menu) automatically builds a route for
every area in your database. These routes will contain all of the points on all of the
equipment defined in each area.
After making the desired modifications, click the OK button to store the new
names, or click the Cancel command to disregard all changes and return to the
Route Management Functions menu.
Route Info - Click this button on the function bar to see a summary listing of
parameters for the selected route.
This menu contains five sub-functions that can be used to modify the selected
route.
Note
Accessing and changing these options will not affect data that has pre-
viously been stored on the measurement points in the AMS
Machinery Manager database.
Selecting any of the first four items displays an equipment list for the selected route.
As equipment is added or deleted from a route, running totals are displayed at the
top of the list to track the number of pieces of equipment and measurement points
assigned to the route.
Note
For sub-functions that require equipment selection, highlight the
desired equipment description using the up/down arrow keys and
then click the OK button.
Note
Deleting a piece of equipment from a route will not cause data for
that equipment and its associated measurement points to be lost or
deleted from the AMS Machinery Manager database.
Insert Equipment Into Route — Equipment may be selected from the displayed list
of equipment that are not presently assigned to the route and then placed into the
route at any desired location.
An existing piece of equipment is first selected from the route in order to specify
the desired location. The new equipment is then automatically inserted into the
route ahead of the existing equipment.
Use the Update Route function to permanently save these changes.
Note
This option is an effective method of updating a route that contains
specific equipment on which measurement points have been added
or deleted because it allows you to see all defined points, and whether
or not they are enabled.
Edit Route Parameters — This option enables you to edit the route parameters.
Route Definition tab - Allows you to globally change the Route Creator and the
Route Purpose for an entire route.
Route Parameters tab - Allows you to globally change the Survey Collection
Schedule and Skipped Grace Period for the entire route.
Data Storage tab - Allows you to change the default data storage option for the
route. This will be applied only to pieces of equipment that are added to the route.
Update Route, Ignore Change - Click the Update Route command to write the
edited route into the database. Click the Ignore Change command to ignore the
changes made to this menu.
Note
Deleting routes will not affect database structure or stored data.
Route Info - Click this button on the function bar to see a summary listing of
parameters for the selected route.
Note
When initial measurements are made, it is desirable to store all data
on all equipment. However, as a good history on a piece of equip-
ment is developed, it may be more efficient to store spectral and time
waveform data only when alarm levels are exceeded.
Select a route from the list of routes and click the OK button. You will then advance
to the Route Storage commands Available menu.
10
Caution!
You should feel confident in the alarm levels defined in DBASE before using this
option. Important data could possibly be ignored if alarm levels are improperly
set.
Eliminate Storage Of All Spectra — The analyzer will not automatically store spec-
tral data. No spectral data will be collected when this option is selected.
Save Waveforms On All Measurement Points — The analyzer will automatically
store waveform data for each measurement point in the route.
Save Waveforms On Alarm Status Only — The analyzer will automatically store
waveform data for each measurement point in the route only when an Alarm con-
dition is present. “Alarm” is defined in CSICOM, under Route Load Setup. Here
the user specifies which alarm level (defined in DBASE) causes the analyzer to dis-
play the Hi-Alarm or VIB alarm status (see VibView Technical Reference, Chapter 1 Ana-
lyzer Communications - CSICOM for more information). Spectra will now be stored
only if an alarm is displayed in the analyzer.
Caution!
You should feel confident in the alarm levels defined in DBASE before using this
option. Important data could possibly be ignored if alarm levels are improperly
set.

Note
One instance where this feature might be used is when only wave-
form data was desired on the first point of each inboard/outboard
bearing. This would give the user vital waveform data while con-
serving disk space.

A-1
Using DBZIP
DBZIP operates slightly differently depending on which mode you are operating
in. For the typical user who uses AMS Machinery Manager in a single plant environ-
ment, DBZIP is designed simply to make an archived backup file of a database with
its supporting global files. In the regular user mode, you would only need to restore
this database in the event of severe damage to your system.
For the more advanced user who is operating in Power User Mode, DBZIP oper-
ates slightly differently. In Power User Mode, more options become available to
provide complete control of the archival process. For more information on Power
User, see Chapter 3 of the AMS Machinery Manager Installation manual.
Warning!
Before using DBZIP, make sure you are completely familiar with how
it manipulates the various files associated with your database.
Improper use of DBZIP could result in permanent damage to or loss
of your data.

Using AutoZip
AutoZip is a command line-based utility that provides access to most of the features
of DBZip. AutoZip was developed specifically to permit experienced Windows
system administrators to develop scripts that perform automatic archival of RBM
databases and all their associated files.
A-18 -
AUTOZIP [@file] [/A=a_path] [/L=l_path] [/I=i_path] [/D] [/-D] [/O] [/-O]
[/S] [/-S] [/V] [/-V]
file Name (or full path) of a file containing AutoZip commands of the
form above. (Each command must be on a separate line, followed by
a carriage return.)
/A=a_path Sets the default path for all archive files. “a_path” must specify a
complete path of an existing directory.
/L=l_path Sets the default path for all log files. “l_path” must specify a complete
path of an existing directory.
/I=i_path Sets the default path for all command input files. “i_path” must
specify a complete path of an existing directory.
/P Display an informational popup window during archive creation.
/-P Do not display the popup window during archive creation.
The remaining switches have the same meaning as they did above. However, when
used with this command form, they specify the default settings to be used for all sub-
sequent archives.
When installed, the default AutoZip settings are /D /O /-S /V. No default paths
are initially defined.
If zipping from a data locker the command MUST have the form:
AUTOZIP server;data locker;database [switches]
If the command does not have this form it will fail.
If you are zipping from multiple database servers but do NOT have multiple data
lockers, data locker may be omitted. The default will be to zip from the public data
locker of the specified server.
While the command syntax for AutoZip looks complicated, its use is actually quite
straightforward. Some examples should help.
The second form of the AutoZip command allows you to set up the program so you don’t have to enter
complete paths for the file specifications needed to perform a backup. Thus, if you always want to save your
archives on the “zips” share of a computer named “Backup,” you simply issue the command:
Note
For this example, online.RBM is assumed to be an online database
that is actively collecting data. The “/D” switch causes it to be dupli-
cated so that an archive can be created.
The remaining AutoZip switches offer options to tailor your archival operations to
best suit the needs of your installation.

Glossary
Acceleration
A measure of the rate of change of velocity of an object, usually measured in g’s (1
g represents the acceleration due to gravity). The sensor used to measure accelera-
tion is the accelerometer.
Acoustics
The study of the characteristics of sound.
Alarm
An indication that the vibration or other parameters of a machine have changed in
a significant manner.
Alarm Limits
Amplitude levels which define an alarm condition on the machine being moni-
tored.
Alert
An alarm limit calculated by the software which indicates that amachine is
approaching failure. Designated as a “C” alarm in reports.
Aliasing
An effect that results in erroneous frequency spectra when the frequency of the
signal being sampled is more than 0.5 times the sampling rate. CSI analyzers
include anti-aliasing filters that eliminate these errors.
Amplification
Increasing signal amplitude by a desired amount in order to facilitate further pro-
cessing of the signal.
Amplitude
Indicates the strength (magnitude in RMS, peak, peak-to-peak, average, or D.C.) of
a measured signal.
G-1
Analog Integration
A method for converting a signal proportional to acceleration to the equivalent
velocity signal, or converting a signal proportional to velocity to the equivalent dis-
placement signal. Analog integration is superior to the equivalent digital method
because it produces a better estimate of low-frequency components in the vibration
spectrum, and improves dynamic range.
Analysis Parameters
Divides the frequency spectrum into bands that are individually measured and ana-
lyzed.
Area
A grouping of Equipment within a company or plant for the purpose of predictive
maintenance; may include the entire facility or a logical division thereof; can then
be subdivided into routes of machines for data collection.
Autorange
The process of automatically adjusting the input instrumentation amplifier of the
analyzer to match the amplitude of the vibration signal. This process results in
increased dynamic range.
Averaging
A method of collecting data in which the mean levels over a number of spectral
measurements minimize the influence of random noise fluctuations.
A-Weighting
A frequency shaping method that can be applied to a spectrum based upon the fre-
quency response of the human ear. The resulting spectrum represents the loud-
ness of the various levels as they would appear to the human ear.
Bandwidth
The analysis frequency range, from lowest to highest, over which data will be col-
lected. Bandwidth is specified with a minimum and maximum frequency.
G-2
Baseline
A reference spectrum, usually the first spectrum collected on a measurement
point.
Baud Rate
Unit of speed for data transmission over a serial communications link.
Block
Database size is specified in blocks. One block = 0.5 Kilobytes.
BPFI
For rolling element bearings, the ball pass frequency (inner), a defect in the inner
race of a bearing.
BPFO
For rolling element bearings, the ball pass frequency (outer), a defect in the outer
race of a bearing.
BSF
Bearing spin frequency for rolling element bearings.
Calibration
The procedure by which instruments and transducers are checked and adjusted in
order to obtain accurate readings.
CPM
The unit of frequency in cycles per minute. Equal to Hz x 60.
Crest Factor
The ratio of peak to RMS levels of a signal. A single-frequency signal has a crest
factor of 1.414; random noise has a crest factor of approximately 3; signals with
impulsive content have higher crest factor values. The crest factor can be used to
check for impacting, such as caused by rolling bearing defects.
Cursor
A manually controlled marker that can be moved across a spectrum or waveform
plot display indicating time or frequency and amplitude at the cursor location.
G-3
Data Units
The units that are used to display the measured data. The analyzer can display data
in the sensor’s units (no conversion), or vibration sensor units can be converted to
acceleration, velocity, or displacement.
dB
(decibels) a relative, logarithmic unit which can be used when measuring signal
amplitude, defined as follows:
27
Diagnostics
The techniques by which machine problems are identified and analyzed.
Digital Integration
A method of converting acceleration to velocity or velocity to displacement by first
collecting the spectral data and then digitally converting the spectra at each fre-
quency.
Displacement
Refers to the distance that an object moves, usually considered to be the overall
range of movement; measured in mils or microns. Displacement is often measured
from eddy current probes and represents the physical movement of a rotating shaft
relative to its supporting bearing.
Sometimes accelerometers or velocity probes are used, and the data is integrated
into displacement. In this case, movement represents the displacement of the
machine casing where the probe is mounted.
Drivers
System software that enables the operation of the AMS Machinery Manager pro-
gram modules. A diskette containing the drivers is provided with all CSI software.
G-4
Envelope Windows
Used in envelope detection to divide a spectrum into multiple bands to establish
alarm levels.
FFT
Fast Fourier Transform; an efficient computational process which allows the con-
version of a signal’s time waveform into a frequency spectrum.
Fault
An alarm level which indicates that a machine or component has failed. Desig-
nated as a “D” alarm in reports.
Filter
A device which removes certain frequencies from a signal while preserving the rest
of the signal.
Firmware
A term referring to the internal software that controls or instructs the functions of
the analyzer.
Flux Coil
The CSI Flux Coil is a device which attaches to electric motors to capture flux sig-
nals. This provides an electrical “quality” signature which is sensitive to conditions
that alter the electrical characteristics of the motor (broken rotor bars, eccentricity,
imbalance between phases, and stator faults).
Flux Spectra
Motor flux spectra are acquired with CSI’s Flux Coil. The “low frequency” spec-
trum is a high resolution spectrum with a maximum frequency of at least three
times running speed, or two times line frequency (whichever is greater). Analysis of
this spectrum provides information on the rotor condition, changes in voltage bal-
ance and some stator fault detection. The “high frequency” spectrum contains slot
pass family frequencies which provide indication of stator related faults.
G-5
Frequency
Number of times an event repeats in a unit of time; usually expressed in hertz (Hz)
or cycles per minute (CPM).
Fundamental Frequency
The frequency of the peak from which related harmonics are referenced. 1xRPM
is an example of a fundamental frequency.
g’s
The unit of measure for acceleration; 1 g is defined as the acceleration due to
gravity at sea level.
Global
A change or changes made to the entire database.
Hanning
Type of window applied to waveform data before frequency analysis; used to pre-
vent peaks in a frequency spectrum from spreading out due to a phenomenon
called leakage. The Hanning window is recommended for most frequency analysis
measurements where the signal is steady-state.
Harmonic
An integer multiple of a fundamental frequency f0 (example 2f0, 3f0, 4f0, etc.).
Harmonic Marker
A box marker that appears on a spectrum display to indicate the harmonic peaks
of a fundamental peak.
Hertz (Hz)
The unit of frequency in cycles per second.
HFD
High-frequency detection; the amplitude of vibration in g’s over a broad frequency
band from 5 kHz up to 20 kHz or greater.
G-6
ICM
Influence Coefficient Method; the method used by the CSI’s Balancing programs
to calculate balancing solutions.
Lines
The number of lines of resolution used for the spectrum calculation. Resolution
(in Hz) equals maximum frequency divided by the number of Lines.
Local Data
Data taken in the off-route mode of the machinery analyzer.
Measurement Point
Any location or point on a machine where measurements are made.
Micron(s)
A metric unit of measurement (one millionth of a meter).
Mil(s)
A unit of measure for displacement (one thousandth of an inch).
Modem
A device that enables remote communications between the host computer and a
machinery analyzer over telephone lines.
Modulation
Instantaneous variations in a signal’s characteristics. May be amplitude (AM) or fre-
quency (FM) modulation.
Multiplane Balancing
A method of balancing a machine that allows the measurement of the imbalance
weights at several planes along the shaft of the machine. Correction weights are
then added in each of these planes. Multiplane Balancing, as opposed to single
plane balancing, is usually required when a machine has several rotating elements,
such as flywheels, tightly coupled on a shaft and closely spaced.
Notes
Specific observations that can be stored on the measurement point of a machine
along with the collected data.
G-7
These observations can be predefined notes from the AMS Machinery Manager
database, user defined notes that have been created via the keypad on the
machinery analyzer, or a combination of the two methods.
1/3 Octave
Method of measuring a signal by measuring the signal levels within a set of band-
pass filters that have a bandwidth of 1/3 octave.
Off-Route
A mode that allows the collection and storage of data on measurement points that
are not defined in the downloaded route.
Orders
Multiples of machine turning speed (1xRPM, 2xRPM, 3xRPM, etc.).
Peak
The largest signal level seen in a waveform over a period of time. For sinusoidal sig-
nals, the peak signal level is always 1.414 times the RMS value of the signal level. For
non-sinusoidal signals, the peak level is often larger than the result that this formula
would produce.
Peak-to-Peak
The difference between the maximum and minimum signal levels over a period of
time. For a pure sinusoidal signal, the peak-to-peak level is two times the peak signal
level and 2.828 times the RMS value of the signal level. For non-sinusoidal signals,
the peak-to-peak level is often larger than the result this formula would produce.
Period
Time required to complete one cycle in a periodic signal.
Phase
1xRPM phase represents the location of the shaft of a machine in degrees (0 - 360)
with respect to the tachometer pulse where the largest vibration occurs.
Plane
Designates one or more of the rotating elements of a machine that is to be bal-
anced. Each plane lies perpendicular to the line that defines the axis of rotation.
G-8
Point
Any location on a machine where measurements are made; used interchangeably
with measurement point.
Polar Plot
A type of graph that displays data in polar coordinates.
Predictive Maintenance
Technology of periodically monitoring the actual condition of machines to dis-
cover faults, to determine probable time of breakdown, and to provide scheduled
downtime for repair that avoids excess cost and lost production.
Real-Time
Continuously updated data or plot, such as an FFT spectrum.
RMS
The magnitude of a signal calculated or measured by the root mean square
method. Equal to 0.707 times the peak value for a pure sinusoidal signal.
Route
One or more machines and their respective measurement points organized in an
efficient sequence for data collection.
RPM
Represents rotations per minute and is equal to 60 times frequency in Hz. Equiva-
lent to CPM (cycles per minute).
RS232
A serial, synchronous communication standard; a type designation for cables that
are used to connect communications ports on host computer, analyzer, and tele-
phone modems.
G-9
Shaft Current/Voltage
Variations in electric motor air gaps, windings, and metal (rotor and frame) result
in a fluctuating magnetic field which is cut by conducting material, in this case, the
motor shaft. This condition gives rise to a current loop consisting of the shaft, bear-
ings, and casing which can damage the motor shaft and bearings.
Shaft Probe
This CSI device is used to acquire shaft current/voltage measurements on electric
motors.
Slip Sideband
During each turn of an AC motor’s rotor, electrical signals associated with the rotor
induce currents in the stator windings. These currents appear as “slip” sidebands to
the supply line frequency peak. This frequency spectrum reflects the influence of
the motor’s load and response on the supply current. The sidebands are the result
of the slip frequency multiplied by the number of poles, and are referred to as
“NPxSF”.
The frequency of the lower sideband is determined by:
28
Subharmonics
Vibration frequencies which are integer fractions of the running speed (example
1/2 RPM, 1/3 RPM, etc.) or some other fundamental frequency.
Tachometer
Pulse signal used to measure shaft turning speed. This may also be used to synchro-
nize the acquisition of dynamic data.
Transient
A non-steady-state signal of finite duration; often refers to a startup or coastdown of
a machine.
Trend
Plotting a number of measurements of a parameter over time.
G-10
Trigger
Causes the analyzer to start collection of data upon the receipt of a specified
dynamic signal from a sensor.
Uniform Window
Description of a uniformly weighted signal, where no special window shaping is
applied before frequency analysis. Sometimes used for collection of non-steady-
state data.
Velocity
A measurement of the time rate of change in the displacement of an object. Vibra-
tion is often measured in velocity using a velocity sensor. Velocity can be measured
also by integrating an accelerometer signal.
Vibration Parameters
Twelve frequency band-limited parameters which are measured from the vibration-
signal. These parameters are defined in the analysis parameter set and are loaded-
into the machinery analyzer for each point from the database. (Alsocalled
individual analysis parameters.)
Viscosity
Resistance of fluids to shearing effects; usually decreasing for liquids as the temper-
ature rises.
Waveform
Analog or digital representation of a signal or function displayed as amplitude vs.
time.
Window
See Hanning Window and Uniform Window.
