("Transferring measurement data for analysis" on page 79). o Move the route into history ("Moving measurement into history" on page 73). o Check the device technology. Clean as needed and stow in the transport case for the next inspection run. VIBSCANNER 2 61 4 - Route 4.4 Measurement tasks The measurement location information icon (" 3: Measurement location info" on page 37) indicates the measurement task to be measured at the active measurement location:
Icon Measurement task Vibration measurement with vibration acceleration sensor. Determination of the rotational speed, when machine speed finder activated. Vibration measurement at a tagged measurement location with VIBCODE sensor. Determination of the rotational speed, when machine speed finder ac-
tivated. ("Coded measurement locations" on page 66). RPM measurement (explicit) with the stroboscope or via manual input. Only at measurement locations, where no vibration measurement is planned. Manual input of process parameters and data from visual inspections. Vibration measurement using a triaxial vibration sensor. Measurement of the relative movement via the signal output on a protection system (vibration displacement or distance). Measurement of process parameters as vibration level (DC). Temperature via manual input. 4.4.1 Vibration measurement with rotational speed determination VIBSCANNER 2 features a function which can be used to determine the rotational speed from the vibration signal ("Machine speed finder" on page 87). Procedure o The measurement is similar to a vibration measurement ("Vibration measurement"
on page 59). o The [Select speed] dialog window appears after measurement completion:
Machine speed finder determines three probable speed values from the vibration signal. Select the value with the highest probability (level of confidence). 62 Edition: 11.2017 4 - Route Execute one of the following actions:
Tap if you are sure that the value is correct.
[Strobe] if you would like to verify the level of confidence using the Tap stroboscope. Note Details regarding the measurement using the stroboscope can be found in section "RPM measurement using the stroboscope" on page 70. 4.4.2 Measurement on a production line Line speed is an important parameter in production lines. Based on this value, the ro-
tational speed can be calculated at every measurement location if the kinematic con-
ditions within the production line are known. Thus, the line speed must be known before starting a route. o If you reach a production line on a route, the following screen appears:
The measurement task for the line speed is contained in the machine train list. The respective value must be entered be-
fore starting the measurements. Tap on the measurement task for the line speed Enter the line speed. Observe the permissible interval limits. The number editor appears. Note You must enter the line speed again, if you exit the route and resume it. 4.4.3 Manual input Process parameters read on a display element or results of visual inspections must be entered manually. Execute one of the following actions:
Enter a numerical value via a numeric keyboard. Observe the permissible in-
terval limits. In the case of visual inspections, select the respective result from the list. VIBSCANNER 2 63 4 - Route Tap on OK in the context line to accept the inputs. Notes If several measurement tasks are defined at the measurement location, scroll with to the next measurement task. A visual inspection can also be created under the Location hierarchy. The respective measurement task appears then in the machine train list. 4.4.4 Measurement with triaxial sensor The following measuring equipment is provided for vibration measurements on three axes:
o Sensor: Triax sensor, VIB 6.655 o Cable: Sensor cable for Triax sensor, VIB5.237 Note During route configuration in OMNITREND Center, make sure that the axial axis matches the X-axis of the sensor. Triax measurement location for 1-axis sensor If you would like to perform the measurement using an 1-axis sensor, activate the default sensor function and enter the available sensor. The Triax measurement location is divided into three equivalent measurement locations:
Triax measurement location for Triax sensor. Triax measurement divided for 1-axis sensor. The axes are orthogonal:
h: horizontal / a: axial / v: vertical 4.4.5 Temperature The temperature at a measurement location cannot be directly recorded using VIBSCANNER 2. It must be entered manually. Measure the temperature using a suitable sensor Enter the temperature value in VIBSCANNER 2. 64 Edition: 11.2017 4 - Route 4.5 Coded measurement locations The device detects coded measurement locations reliably based on their individual iden-
tification code and automatically calls the intended measurement tasks. 4.5.1 VIBCODE sensor for vibration measurement A measurement with the VIBCODE sensor starts automatically, as soon as the sensor is connected to the tagged measurement location. Compliance with a certain sequence dur-
ing processing of the measurement locations is not required. ATTENTION!
The VIBCODE sensor may be damaged in the case of improper use. Observe the operating notes in the VIBCODE operating instructions (VIB9.834.G). Prerequisite o VIBCODE measurement locations are contained in the route. o The VIBCODE sensor is configured as sensor for measurements at VIBCODE meas-
urement locations. Procedure Open the route. The [Route summary ...] screen appears. Connect the VIBCODE sensor to the device and the VIBCODE measurement loc-
ation. The VIBCODE sensor reads the code of the measurement location and starts the intended measurement task. Disconnect the VIBCODE sensor after the measurement. Connect the VIBCODE sensor to the next VIBCODE measurement location. Repeat the procedure for all other VIBCODE measurement locations. Connect the VIBCODE sensor to the VIBCODE measurement location. VIBSCANNER 2 65 4 - Route 4.5.2 VIBCODE sensor for measurement location detection The actual measurement takes place at a different, usually permanently installed meas-
urement location using a different vibration sensor. This measurement location can be ac-
cessed directly or via a cable interface at the location of VIBCODE detection. Prerequisite o The respective measurement location is configured in the OMNITREND Center soft-
ware with a permanently installed sensor (e.g., VIB 6.122 R). Procedure Open the route. Connect the VIBCODE sensor to the device and the VIBCODE measurement loc-
ation. The measuring program reads the code of the measurement location. However, it does not start the measurement automatically. Disconnect the VIBCODE from the device. Connect the vibration sensor to the device and the measurement location. Start the measurement using the ENTER key. 4.5.3 Non-contact detection or measurement locations (RFID) Measurement locations that are equipped with a PRFTECHNIK transponder, are de-
tected automatically by VIBSCANNER 2, as soon as the RFID reader is held into the re-
ception range of the transponder. The transponder code must first be taught to VIBSCANNER 2. Teach-in can be performed before or during a route (see next section). Note In practice, the RFID method is used for identifying the machine train. For this purpose, the first measurement location on the machine train is equipped with a RFID transponder. Then, the individual measurement locations on the machine train are processed as usual using the graphical route guidance. PRFTECHNIK transponders are available as accessories (25 pcs, art. no.:
ALI50.628-25). Prerequisite o The measurement locations are equipped with PRFTECHNIK transponders. o Transponder code has already been taught. 66 Edition: 11.2017 4 - Route Procedure Open the route. Hold the measuring device with the front end into the close range of the transpon-
der (approx. 2-3 cm). VIBSCANNER 2 reads the code and activates the respective measurement location in the machine image view. Connect the sensor to the device and the measurement location. Start the measurement. The RFID reader captures the code of the transponder without contact. 4.5.4 Teaching in RFID transponder Unlike the VIBCODE method, the code is not configured in the OMNITREND Center soft-
ware for the RFID method. Read the transponder directly on site and transfer the code together with the recorded measurement data to the OMNITREND Center software. Prerequisite o The measurement locations are equipped with PRFTECHNIK transponders. o The route with the RFID measurement locations is available in VIBSCANNER 2. Procedure Open the Route menu.

Tap Transfer the route to the OMNITREND Center software. 68 Edition: 11.2017 4.6 RPM measurement using the stroboscope 4 - Route WARNING!
Severe or fatal injuries possible. Rotating components on the machine appear static in the flashing light of the stroboscope. Do not reach into the illuminated components. CAUTION!
Risk of damage to the eyes! Do not look into the light source if the stroboscope is in operation. Point stroboscope onto the rotating component. Adjust the flashing frequency using the adjuster wheel on the screen. 4.6.1 Verifying/measuring rotational speed The RPM measurement using the stroboscope is possible in the following situations:
o Verification of the determined speed. This takes place usually after a vibration measurement with the machine speed finder activated. o Speed measurement at a vibration measurement location. o Speed measurement at a speed measurement location. Procedure Point the measuring device with the stroboscope onto the rotating component. Pay attention to a sufficient safety clearance and good illumination. VIBSCANNER 2 69 4 - Route Execute one of the following actions:
o To verify the determined speed:

[MENU] in the context line. Tap Tap [Strobe / Speed]. o To measure the speed at the speed measurement location:
Tap on he measurement location icon or press the Enter key. The stroboscope switches on. The flashing frequency corresponds to the frequency of the selected speed (e.g. 1200 rpm = 20 Hz). The screen for setting the flashing frequency appears:
Flashing frequency adjustment Operation 1: Change frequency con-
tinuously. 2: Change frequency by 1 Hz (cpm). 3: Halve/double the fre-
quency. 4: Enter speed manually. Adjust the flashing frequency such that the illuminated objects appear static. Al-
ternatively, the speed can also be entered manually in the number editor (4). Click on OK to apply the adjusted frequency as speed value. Notes Objects suitable for stroboscopic measurements: Fan blades, coupling screws, measurement marks on the shaft. If several identical objects pass by the stroboscope during a revolution (e.g., coupling screws), make sure that the still does not flicker. Only if the still is ab-
solutely static and sharp, the flashing frequency corresponds to a full revolution and/or an integer multiple of it. Example: In the case of coupling screws, the different position of the screw heads causes flickering. The flashing frequency only corresponds to a multiple of the spa-
cing, different screws are illuminated, whose screw heads are tightened at dif-
ferent positions. The still flickers and is blurred. 70 Edition: 11.2017 Tip: The accuracy of the stroboscope frequency can be improved using the decimal places setting for the RPM (1/min) measured value [Settings > Units >

The sticker indicates the next check date (here: 09-2019). 5.2.6 Disposal VIBSCANNER 2 and any accessories must be disposed of according to the environmental regulations applicable in your country. Note The rechargeable battery must be completely discharged when submitting the measuring device for disposal. 86 Edition: 11.2017 5 - Appendix 5.3 Machine speed finder Vibration-based condition diagnostics on speed-variable machines requires speed ac-
quisition during the vibration measurement. In addition to the vibration sensor, an ad-
ditional RPM sensor is always required to obtain a complete measurement data record for a comprehensive analysis and reliable diagnostics. VIBSCANNER 2 follows a different approach and omits a RPM measurement sensor. The measuring device uses the vibration signal instead to determine the current speed value at the measurement location. This method is based on complex algorithms, numerous field tests and a lot of experience in the acquisition, processing, and analysis of vibration signals. The result of this development is implemented as the so-called machine speed finder in VIBSCANNER 2. 5.3.1 Function Within the scope of the measurement configuration in OMNITREND Center, a speed is spe-
cified at the machine train level, which is to be expected during measurements on site. Machine speed finder evaluates the vibration signal with respect to rotational speeds, which may deviate by 15 % from the expected rotational speed value. Machine speed finder is activated by default at the reference measurement location. The measuring device calculates the speed values for all other measurement locations on a machine train based on the configured kinematic model for the machine train. 5.3.2 Level of confidence Machine speed finder determines three speed values based on the measured vibration signal. These are within the specified interval (15 %). A probability (in %) is assigned to every value. It indicates the trustworthiness of the value. The current rotational speed usually corresponds to the value with the highest percentage value the so-called level of confidence. The level of confidence can be verified and readjusted as needed using a stroboscopic measurement. 5.3.3 Limits Machine speed finder reaches its limits in the following scenarios:
o The probability for the level of confidence is below 70 %. Remedy: Verify the respective speed using the stroboscope. o The rotational speed deviates at the measurement location by more than 15 %
from the expected speed. Remedy: Determine the speed using the stroboscope. o Vibration entries from adjacent machines influence the vibration signal. Remedy: Determine the speed using the stroboscope. VIBSCANNER 2 87 5 - Appendix o The speed to be expected is less than 300 rpm. In this case, the machine speed finder is automatically deactivated. Remedy: Determine the speed using a vibration measurement in the fast-running shaft. 88 Edition: 11.2017 5 - Appendix 5.4 Kinematic Model The kinematic model maps the kinematic conditions in a machine train. VIBSCANNER 2 uses this modeling to calculate the rotational speed at every measurement location on the machine train based on a reference value. This method saves time and effort, as it re-
duces the number of measurements on site to a minimum. A machine train is modeled during the configuration in the OMNITREND Center software. The gear ratios between the individual components (e.g., gear stages) are considered. 5.4.1 Reference speed The speed calculation is based on the reference speed. It is recorded and/or determined at a reference measurement location on the machine train. Based on the known kin-
ematic conditions in the machine train, the measuring device calculates the respective speeds for all measurement locations on the machine train. Reference speed from vibration signal VIBSCANNER 2 determines the reference speed from the vibration signal ("Machine speed finder" on page 87). During route configuration in OMNITREND Center, the measurement location for the reference speed is combined with the nearest vibration measurement loc-
ation. The reference measurement location is marked in the machine image view with
("2: Measurement location icon" on page 37). Determining the reference speed by stroboscope The integrated stroboscope is a reliable method for verifying the determined reference speed and for recording the speeds at all vibration measurement locations on the ma-
