 Measurement types
AUTOMATIC – At user-defined intervals for long-
term trending of parameter evolution; Applies to all
machines
• Trending Computed minimum, maximum
and average values for each parameter; Minimum
interval: 1 minute
• Signature Data on all parameters corresponding
with the minimum air gap reading for each rotor pole
over one rotation; Minimum interval: 1 hour
• Pole Similar to signature but over multiple turns;
Minimum interval: 1 hour
• Sampling Raw data at full sampling rate; Minimum
interval: 30 minutes
©VibroSystM 2008. All rights reserved
MANUAL– Requested from ZOOM Application for
verification purposes (commissioning, transitory
conditions, prior to works) on a specific machine;
Performed from standstill to overspeed
• Signature As described previously i-e a quick
snapshot view of the machine
• Pole As described previously; i-e measurement of
machine under transient conditions such as start up,
field application, load rejection etc.
• Sampling As described previously; i-e a high
definition view of the monitored signal

©VibroSystM 2008. All rights reserved

ALARMS – Triggered by 2-level
thresholds/input for analysis.
• Alarm Machine data prior and after alarm
occurrence; User-defined number of
recorded turns.
• Message Sent to all active ZOOM
Application modules. Alarms can be received
on a cell phone, a pager or at an e-mail
address.

 Conclusion
The complete integrated monitoring system
for large rotating machine (ZOOM 6 Platform
and ZPU-5000 hardware) is available since
the summer 2008. Quick and easy trends
and in-depth diagnostic of air gap, vibration,
PDA, flux, temperature and other
parameters are proven to increase overall
availability of the generator units and
help avoid force outages
