Description

The Techkor wireless condition monitoring system automates collecting condition based maintenance (CBM) data in industrial environments. The system includes precision piezoelectric sensors, laser tachometers, database storage, and control/display software.  All wireless units communicate with Network Access Points, bridging the wireless network to a cabled Ethernet network, eliminating expensive wiring costs.  Wireless transmissions are encrypted and error corrected to ensure secure and reliable data.  Thousands of sensors can be easily installed, configured, and monitored from a networked PC.

Wireless Condition Monitoring sensors complement data collector and online methods by expanding coverage into areas where traditional methods would be cost prohibitive or hazardous. Collect data efficiently and reliably with wireless sensors, so time is spent fixing problems, instead of finding problems.

 

Operational Layout

A typical layout of the wireless system consists of a Windows PC, NAP914P Network Access Points, REP914 Active Repeaters, M9E-RF-1-50G Accelerometers, and TACH-RF-L Laser Tachometers.  The wireless network is an automatically configurable network.  Simply install the Network Access Points on an existing enterprise LAN with overlapping coverage, and then install the wireless sensors on the machinery to be monitored.  Machinery vibration data can then be monitored from a PC anywhere on the enterprise LAN or transmitted to a PC anywhere in the world via an Internet gateway.  The system is easily scalable by simple adding additional Accelerometers, Repeaters, and Network Access Points as needed.
