Abstract

A system for dynamically controlling content displayed on a condition monitoring system may include a processor that may receive one or more datasets associated with one or more components in an industrial environment. The system may also include a graphical user interface (GUI) that may display visualizations representing the components in a first portion of the GUI. The GUI may then receive a first selection of the visualizations and display data processing outputs associated with the first selection in a second portion of the GUI. There, the data processing outputs may be determined based on a first dataset that corresponds to a first component associated with the first selection. The GUI may then receive a second selection of the visualizations and may dynamically update the data processing outputs based on a second dataset that corresponds to a second component.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a processor configured to receive one or more datasets associated with one or more components in an industrial environment;

a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to;

display one or more visualizations representing the one or more components in a first portion of the GUI, wherein the first portion of the GUI comprises a machine-train diagram comprising the one or more visualizations representing the one or more components;

receive a first selection of the one or more visualizations;

display one or more data processing outputs associated with the first selection in a second portion of the GUI, wherein the data processing outputs are determined based on a first dataset that corresponds to a first component associated with the first selection, wherein the first component is represented by a first visualization of the one or more visualizations;

receive a second selection of the one or more visualizations; and

dynamically update the data processing outputs displayed on the second portion of the GUI immediately after receiving the second selection, wherein the updated data processing outputs are determined based on a second dataset that corresponds to a second component associated with the second selection, wherein the second component is represented by a second visualization of the one or more visualizations.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the GUI is configured to update a hierarchical list of the one or more components displayed in a third portion of the GUI based on the second selection.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more components comprise a machine, a motor, a gas turbine, a heat exchanger, a centrifugal pump, a centrifugal compressor, a fan, a reciprocating compressor, a generator, a steam turbine, a wind turbine, piping, or any combination thereof.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more components comprise one or more sensors.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the one or more sensors comprise temperature sensors, current sensors, voltage sensors, pressure sensors, displacement sensors, velocity sensors, acceleration sensors, flow sensors, or any combination thereof.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the GUI is configured to display a list of one or more measurement data types representing one or more types of data analysis that correspond to the one or more data processing outputs.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the updated data processing outputs comprise one or more updated plots, wherein the updated plots are generated based on the second dataset.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine-readable instructions executable by a processor, wherein the machine-readable instructions are configured to cause the processor to:

display, via a graphical user interface (GUI), a list of one or more measurement data types representing one or more types of data analysis performed on data acquired by one or more sensors associated with a first component of one or more components in an industrial environment, wherein the list of the measurement data types are depicted in a first portion of the GUI;

receive a first selection of a first measurement type of the one or more measurement data types;

display one or more data processing outputs associated with the first selection in a second portion of the GUI, wherein the data processing outputs comprise results of the data analysis performed on the data;

receive a second selection of a second measurement type of the one or more measurement types; and

dynamically update the data processing outputs displayed in the second portion of the GUI immediately after receiving the second selection, wherein the data processing outputs previously depicting the results of the data analysis based on the first measurement type are updated such that the results of the data analysis are determined based on the second measurement type.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the machine-readable instructions are configured to cause the processor to display, via the GUI, an event list comprising alarm information that corresponds to a respective component of the one or more components.

10. The non-transitory computer readable-medium of claim 9, wherein the alarm information comprises a type of alarm associated with the respective component, time and date information related to the alarm, a current status of the alarm, or any combination thereof.

11. The non-transitory computer readable-medium of claim 9, wherein the machine-readable instructions are configured to cause the processor to:

receive a request for supporting evidence regarding an item in the event list;

display the supporting evidence;

receive a third selection that corresponds to a second component of the one or more components; and

update the supporting evidence using data regarding the second component.

12. The non-transitory computer readable-medium of claim 8, wherein the one or more measurement types comprise acceleration trend or velocity trend.

13. A method, comprising:

displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more data entries representing data acquired by one or more sensors associated with a first component of one or more components depicted in a first portion of the GUI, wherein the first portion of the GUI comprises a machine-train diagram comprising the one or more components;

receiving a first selection of a first data entry of the one or more data entries;

displaying one or more data processing outputs associated with the first selection in a second portion of the GUI, wherein the data processing outputs comprise one or more plots determined based on a first dataset that corresponds to the first data entry;

receiving a second selection of a second data entry of the one or more data entries; and

dynamically updating the data processing outputs displayed in the second portion of the GUI immediately after receiving the second selection, wherein the data processing outputs previously depicting the plots determined based on the first dataset are updated such that the plots are determined based on a second dataset that corresponds to the second data entry.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first data entry and the second data entry comprise data acquired from the one or more sensors disposed on the first component and the second component, respectively.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the one or more sensors comprise temperature sensors, current sensors, voltage sensors, pressure sensors, displacement sensors, velocity sensors, acceleration sensors, flow sensors, or any combination thereof.

16. The method of claim 13, comprising updating a hierarchical list of the components displayed in a third portion of the GUI based on the second selection.
