SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MONITORING OF INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring industrial equipment, the system comprising:
- a first sensor unit configured to be coupled to a first power line that conducts power to a first piece of industrial equipment, the first sensor further being configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the power conducted through the first power line to the first piece of industrial equipment; and
one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising;
a parameter module configured to determine one or more power parameters of the power delivered through the first power line to the first piece of industrial equipment;
an analysis module configured to identify abnormal operation of the first piece of industrial equipment by comparing a first power parameter of the power delivered through the first power line to the first piece of industrial equipment, as determined by the parameter module, with a first threshold and/or pattern; and
an alert module configured to generate an alert responsive to the identification of abnormal operation of the first piece of equipment by the analysis module.

Abstract
A system and method for providing monitoring of industrial equipment is disclosed. In such a system and method, one or more sensor units may be configured to generate output signals conveying information regarding power conducted to the industrial equipment. One or more power parameters may be determined based on the sensor output signals. Abnormal operations of the industrial equipment may be determined based on the power parameters and alerts responsive to the abnormal operations may be generated. In some embodiments, information regarding a present operation of the industrial equipment may be received from a control system and/or monitoring system. In those embodiments, a fault or a likelihood of fault of the control system and/or the monitoring system may be determined.
