ZonicBook/618E 929895 A Brief Look at Software 4-5
Changes in vibration levels indicate changes in a machine’s operating condition; and may be warning signs
of potential machine failure. The following are likely causes of an alert or an alarm: unbalance,
misalignment, loose foundation, cracked shaft, missing blades, bent or bowed rotor, seal rubs, oil whirl,
pump cavitation.
An eZ-TOMAS system can be easily moved from machine to machine with setup times as little as two
minutes. This ability reduces downtime, improves data collection, troubleshooting, and maximizes
inventory utilization by intelligently projecting down time for parts replacement.
Acquisition
eZ-TOMAS collects data from up to 56 channels of displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Tachometer and
other sensors. Any input channel can be referenced to multiple tachometer inputs.
Storage
Inputs are continuously acquired and limit checked. Data is stored in a FIFO format (user defined size, up
to 244,000 records) based on programmed transient or alarm conditions, such as change in RPM, vibration
level, or time. These conditions commonly referred to as “Boxcar” events, can trigger storage for all input
channels. The Boxcar feature guarantees that only statistically important data is stored. This minimizes the
amount of redundant data stored, making analysis much faster. In addition to alarm triggering, you can
initiate a manual trigger at anytime. This is desirable, for example, when an audible anomaly is observed.
Limit Checking
Limit Checking is user configurable. Up to 4 limits can be defined for each spectral band (alarm high and
low, alert high and low). You can also define the number and size of Alarm History Files. Limit Checking
can even be limited to a user defined speed range.
