SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROTECTING ROTATING MACHINES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller comprising one or more computers, measurements data collected by a plurality of sensors configured to monitor vibrations associated with a rotating machine;
determining, by the controller based at least in part upon the measurements data, that a respective amplitude change for at least two of the plurality of sensors exceeds a threshold condition;
determining, by the controller, that the threshold condition is exceeded for a predetermined period of time; and
identifying, by the controller based at least in part upon determining that the threshold condition is exceeded for a predetermined period of time, an alarm event.

Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting rotating machines are provided. Measurements data collected by a plurality of sensors may be received by a controller that includes one or more computers. The plurality of sensors may be configured to monitor vibrations associated with the rotating machine. Based at least in part upon the measurements data, the controller may determine that a respective amplitude change for at least two of the plurality of sensors exceeds a threshold condition. The controller may also determine that the threshold condition is exceeded for a predetermined period of time. Based at least in part upon determining that the threshold condition is exceeded for a predetermined period of time, the controller may identify an alarm event.
