VIBRATION TESTING AND ANALYSIS OF MOTOR

BASED ON VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT

( Objective:

Machine plays a vital role in the plant. Maintenance is a very important factor for a machine,
which is required regularly. Vibration monitoring and analysis is a predictive maintenance technique by
which the faults can be detected in the machines. In this work, data acquisition system, signal analysis
and lab VIEW are used to detect various faults which occur in the machine. As a result, the necessary
control action can be taken on the machine in advance. For processing and analysis of vibration signal,
time domain and frequency domain analysis of vibration signal is implemented

 Microcontroller
 Accelerometer
 Driver circuit with Motor
 Wheel chair Model
RS232 Driver

In this project accelerometer is used to detect the vibration of the motor. Accelerometer
is an electro-mechanical device which measures acceleration forces. Here an accelerometer is
connected with microcontroller. This accelerometer will be held in the user’s hand. When the
vibration accruing in the motor, according to vibration movements accelerometer X,Y,Z axis
values will change. In the microcontroller we have already programmed the direction changing
values. This is done by the changes in the acceleration force which is measured through the
accelerometer. The acceleration values will be send to the PC using RS232 driver. In PC using
Labview we are monitoring the vibration of wheel chair.
