Monitoring system and its use
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a plurality of monitored objects using an on-line condition monitoring system for the real-time observation of said monitored objects, the method comprising providing a condition monitoring system comprising:
- at least one sensor arranged at each monitored object and operable to generate signals representing the condition of said object, at least one substation operable to receive the signals from the sensor(s) of said one or more monitored objects at certain measurement intervals during a certain measurement period, which signals represent the condition of the monitored objects, so as to generate measurement data, and operable to transmit the measurement data to a monitoring unit, a monitoring unit, which has a processing unit for storing and/or for further processing the measurement data obtained from said at least one substation during a certain measurement period, and one or more workstations at which the condition of the one or more monitored objects is observed on the basis of the measurement data stored in said processing unit, and a data network for data transmission between the substation, the monitoring unit and the workstation, the method further comprising;
performing real-time observation of at least one object using at least one substation operable by means of measurement software to receive signals from said object representing the condition of said object during a period that is substantially longer than said certain measurement period, wherein at least one of said substation and a workstation uses calculation software to process the signals received by the measurement software in the substation so as to generate and present calculation results to the system operator, and wherein a workstation is operable by means of real-time signal analysis user interface software to display to the operator the measured signals and the results calculated therefrom.

Abstract
An on-line condition monitoring system for the real-time observation of a number of monitored objects comprises a sensor arranged at each object to generate signals representing the condition of the object, a substation for receiving signals from the object at certain measurement intervals and transmitting measurement data to a monitoring unit which has a processing unit and one or more workstations at which the condition of different objects can be observed, and a data network. The substation is further arranged to receive signals during a longer period from an object, which has been put into particular real-time observation. The substation and/or the workstation is arranged to process the signals received by the substation and to generate and present calculation results to the operator. The workstation is arranged by means of real-time signal analysis user interface software to display to the operator the measured signals and the results calculated from them.
