Chapter 3 Setting Up Measurements This chapter describes setting up the measurement definitions in Emonitor 10 use with the Enpac 2500, Measurement definitions define how to collect and store measurements. You ean create several different types of measusement definitions at each location. Emonitor can then take advantage of the abilities of your date collector by combining some of the measurement definitions ‘when you Toad them into the data collector. By combining measurements, Emonitor can shorten the data collection time.

Therefore, you may not see all the selections available fo the Enpac. In some cases both Emonitor and Enpac 2500 support certain options. Ia lther cases, Emonitor can support an option that the Enpac 2500 cannot support. For example, Emonitor can apply a software high pass filter to the data after it unloads the data from the Enpae 2500, This allows you to use a filter that is not available in the Enpac 2500. Measurement Types Emonitor and Eapac 2500 support the following measurement definition types: '* Magnitude - This measorement type i single value representing the total energy ofa measurement. For example, a vibration magnitude -eptesents the total energy in a vibration spectrum. The Eapae 2500 ean alto collect magninude+phase measurements, for the first through the cighth orders. ‘* Numeric - Manual entry or DC voltage measurement of an overall value such as temperatoze, pressure, low rate, operating speed, oF proximity probe gap readings.Setting Up Messwerents 47 * Spectrum - Frequency domain measurement of frequency vs amplitude, usually for velocity or acceleration. The Enpac can collect phase with spectrum measurement definitions + ‘Time Waveform - Time domain measurement of time vs amplitude, usualy for displacement, velocity, or accelesation. Remember that the available measurement types in monitor depend on the active collectors you select with the Tools > Set Active Collectors. If you have two or mote active data collectors, you may not see all the selections available for the Enpac. Measurement Filters monitor and Enpac 2500 each support certain measurement filters. Some of the fiers are suppozted in both Emonitor and Enpae 2500. You can define ‘custom band filters (high pass, low pass, band pass) by creating a new band {ter using Setup > Band Filter: You can choose to use a filter in the Enpac 2500 by selecting the Analog or RSS (digital) option when you define a filter. ea asia Sve Publication GNSIIO-UMDO2C-N-E- October 0078 _Sotng Up Measurements Pablcaon GMS} 10-UMOn20-EN-E October 2007 PTT TT A iter in Emonitor are referred to as software filters, Filters in data collectors are refered to as hardware filters. Hardwear filters alter the signal inthe Enpac 2500. Emonitor software filters alter the signal {data representing the signal) after you unload the date into Emonitor. In general, if the filter you want to uso is available in both Emonitor and inthe data collector it ista your advantage to use the hardware filter in the data collector. Hardware filters have the following advantag ‘They can remove low frequency, high amplitude signal components that would dominate the dynamicrange inthe data collector. This results in improved amplitude resolution ofthe remaining signal range. Software filters have the following advantage: if there sno corresponding filter inthe data collector, or you chose not to use it, Emonitor can apply a digital fiterafter you unload the data frm the deta collector.

Order Normalization for Orders Track Spectrum ‘There are two requirements for implementing Orders Track measurements. "The Fmax value must fall within the range of 10 to $000 Hz, and the machine speed may not vary by more then 10% ducing the measusement collection, For ‘example, if you set up 2 machine that runs at 3500 RPM for an Fmax of 100 (Orders, the measurement will not work because the required Fmax is 15,000 Ha To Set Up Orders Track FFT Collection ‘The Enpac supports the specification and collection of a spectrum with an ‘Fmax defined in terms of number of orders for a varying machine speed. For (Onders Track data collection, you are required to use a trigger to continually determine machine speed. With orders tracking, the sampling sate is not fixed during the collection period. Instead, the time spacing between the samples may be constantly varying so that fixed number of samples per shaft revolution is collected. The sax of the ime waveform is no longer measuzed in seconds, but instead itis ‘measured in degrees or shaft position. From this, he corresponding spectral information is no longer measured in Hz or CPM, but instead it s measured in ‘orders. Orders tracking removes all non-syachronous frequencies from the spectzum, ‘To set up soute points using Orders Track collection, follow these stepsSening Up Messuements 61 1.
