VibMonitor monitoring-system user manual
The June 2021 software workflow for instrument configuration, asset hierarchy, alarms, trends, vibration analysis and administration.
On this page
This manual is dated June 28, 2021 and documents VibMonitor with VibMonitorSap. It does not establish equivalence to CZ900Server/CZ900Sample. The overview lists 8/16/32-channel devices, while instrument-management and instrument-type sections list 8/16/24. Confirm the supported hardware and software version; support for both 24 and 32 channels cannot be inferred from this inconsistency.
Software roles and navigation
VibMonitor is the application for instrument settings, configuration management, monitoring, analysis, reference data and system administration. VibMonitorSap is the acquisition application responsible for device communication, acquisition, secondary alarm processing and storage. The function table also lists protocol parsing, validity checks and encryption as acquisition functions, without providing their setup or implementation details.
After login, the home view summarizes instrument connectivity, sensor status, equipment alarm counts, measurement-item counts, current alarm status, recent alarms and latest acquisition data. The main menu is on the left, with the selected view on the right; the top area identifies the active menu path and logged-in user. The manual does not publish a default login or installation procedure.
Set up instruments and inspect connectivity
Instrument Management adds, edits, deletes and copies instruments. Copying can include acquisition-board and channel information. Channel configuration depends on the instrument type. The manual identifies YD260, YD285 and multichannel devices; its conflicting 24/32-channel counts are noted above.
For YD260, batch configuration of the upload-event interval is available. Instrument Firmware manages firmware records, and Instrument Online displays acquisition-device and sensor connectivity. The source does not provide a firmware flashing sequence or a recovery procedure.
The Instrument Types reference data describes dynamic, process and combined acquisition types, active or passive communication, and whether acquisition boards are present. These type definitions determine the available instrument configuration; they do not prove that every hardware model accepts every mode.
Build the asset hierarchy and channel mapping
The system configuration has four levels:
- Node: organizes the configuration tree.
- Equipment: identifies the monitored machine.
- Measurement point: identifies a location on that machine.
- Measurement item: specifies the quantity to monitor and its source.
Measurement-item data may come from an acquisition device or OPC. The illustrated quantity list includes acceleration (Acc), velocity derived in time or frequency domains (AccTimeToVel / AccFreqToVel), displacement derived in time or frequency domains (AccTimeToDis / AccFreqToDis), acceleration envelope (AccEnv), eddy-current displacement (EdCurDis), process (Process) and speed (Speed). The screenshot is an illustrated list, not evidence of every possible item type.
The measurement-item form associates a source device and acquisition channel, measurement unit and alarm settings. The example shows separate overall-value and change-rate alarm settings, enable controls and alarm/danger thresholds. Its displayed numbers are example data, not recommended thresholds.
Component Types maintains the component vocabulary used in equipment configuration. Configuration Mapping shows the relationship between acquisition channels and machine measurement points; use this view to check the association when a displayed measurement appears to belong to the wrong point.
Read current data and equipment summaries
Real-time Data shows current values and provides direct access to vibration and trend analysis for a row. The tree at the left propagates alarm state from measurement item through point, equipment and node. The manual states that this alarm state is determined by unhandled alarm events.
Consequently, a tree alarm indication may remain relevant even after a value has returned to normal. Inspect the event state as well as the latest measurement when assessing an indication. All views containing that configuration tree can show current equipment status.
Real-time Summary groups the data by equipment. Choose between all measurements and alarm-only measurements to focus the display.
Distinguish active alarms, events and history
Real-time Alarms answers which equipment and measurement points are alarming at the current time. The manual distinguishes whether a prior alarm event has been closed and whether its measurement is still alarming. Event closure and current threshold state are separate concepts.
Alarm Events records the equipment's alarm-event history. Historical Data queries stored data by measurement item. Measurement Point Summary provides daily channel statistics: maximum, minimum and average values for each point.
Use the live-alarm view for current conditions, the event view for event lifecycle, and history/trends for context. The source does not define an automatic closure rule or a universal acknowledgement procedure, so those behaviors must be confirmed in the installed version.
Compare trends and select a time of interest
Trend Analysis supports multiple measurements from different machines or points, including measurements with different units on one chart. Select points using the checkboxes and their series load on the right. Set a custom time period to inspect the interval of interest.
The source describes automatic display-resolution adjustment for long histories, retaining maximum, minimum and average information so the trend remains representative. It does not provide a numeric downsampling formula or retention policy.
Trend dialogs can be opened from alarm, real-time and history views. Select a timestamp on the trend to open vibration analysis for the associated record. This links an overall-value change to its waveform/spectrum where that record is available.
Inspect waveforms, spectra and cursors
The documented charts run directly in the web page without a chart plugin. The main plots are waveform and spectrum. They support drag-to-zoom and reverse-drag reset, live refresh and pausing refresh for inspection. Vibration-analysis dialogs can also be reached from alarms, real-time values and history.
The cursor choices are single, dual, harmonic and sideband, with single cursor as default. Choose the cursor suited to inspecting one point, comparing two points, harmonic spacing or sideband structure. The guide illustrates these cursors but does not define all marker calculations or interaction shortcuts.
Pausing chart refresh is described as a display-analysis function; it is not evidence that acquisition hardware has stopped collecting.
Reference data, users and system settings
Basic Management maintains instrument types, rolling bearings, common gears and measurement units. The source describes a built-in library of more than 30,000 bearing entries, bearing-library import/query in the function list, and selection of bearings during equipment configuration. Library size is a statement about the documented edition.
System Management contains organization, user, permission-resource, role-permission, system-configuration and log views. Organization has four levels: group, company, plant and department. Role Permissions associates roles with permission resources; the illustrated view selects a role, checks resources in a tree and saves permissions.
System Configuration maintains default settings. The document specifically states that the dynamic-data upload interval controls periodic YD285 data retrieval. Other settings shown in screenshots are examples and should not be treated as universal acquisition defaults. System Logs automatically record system operations.
The cover identifies Shanghai Cezhen, while embedded authorship and subject metadata name different organizations/project context. That provenance mismatch does not establish ownership and is not used to infer a software relationship to CZ900.
