Analysis system for analyzing the condition of a machine
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing a condition of a machine having a rotating shaft and a machine body with a measuring point, the system comprising a client part connectable to a communications network for communication with a supplier part computer, said client part comprising:
- a sensor attachable on or at said measuring point for generating measurement data dependent on rotation of said shaft;
an analysis apparatus for analysing the condition of the machine on the basis of said measurement data, said analysis apparatus comprising;
at least one input for receiving said measurement data;
a data processing means for processing condition data dependent on said measurement data, said data processing means comprising means for performing a plurality of condition monitoring functions;
a logger for registering use of at least one of said condition monitoring functions; and
a communication port coupled to said data processing means and connectable to said communications network for communication with said supplier part computer;
wherein said analysis apparatus is adapted to deliver information indicative of said registered use on said communication port for delivery to said supplier part computer.

Abstract
A system for analyzing the condition of a machine having a rotating shaft and a machine body with a measuring point includes a client part communicating with a supplier part computer via a communications network. The client part includes a sensor attachable at the measuring point for generating measurement data dependent on shaft rotation, an analysis apparatus for analyzing the condition of the machine based on the measurement data, the analysis apparatus having at least one input receiving the measurement data, a data processor for processing condition data dependent on the measurement data, the data processor including an element for performing condition monitoring functions and a Logger registering their use, a communication port coupled to the data processor and connectable to the communications network to communicate with the supplier part computer. The analysis apparatus can deliver registered use information to the supplier part computer via the communication port.
