Abstract
A tool for sensor management and fault visualization in machine condition monitoring. The method and system are able to monitor a plurality of sensors at one time. The sensors may be used in a power plant system monitoring system. The method and system may display a fault status for each sensor in the plurality of sensors in a single display, wherein the fault status for each sensor is displayed over time. The method and system also provide a mechanism that permits a user to examine details of each sensor in the plurality of sensors at any given time. In addition, the method and system are capable of categorizing each fault in the fault status using one or more properties or categorizing criteria. The method and system also permit sensors to be tested such that different operating models may be examined by utilizing different sensors.
