CN0549 CBM development kit monitors assets through vibration analysis

Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) has become quite popular in the manufacturing sector due to its advantages. It is a type of pre-analysis monitoring that includes the use of sensors to evaluate the status of an asset over time while it is in operation. Hence, the data collected is used to establish trends, predict failure, and measure the life of an asset.

Analog Devices has launched CN0549, a condition-based monitoring development kit. The monitoring functionality signifies the consideration for hardware applications involving vibration. The applications include industrial as well as IoT devices. Hence, the CN0549 CBM development board combines the resources for a dynamic domain of users.

Discussing further, condition-based monitoring (CBM) through vibration sensing requires the capturing of full-bandwidth data to ensure that all harmonics, aliasing, and other mechanical interactions are taken care of in both, the time and frequency domain. The data collection by using the sensors and data acquisition (DAQ) system offers high fidelity and real-time data analysis. 

Also, for the predicting life of the devices, there is a  necessity of providing an accurate visualization of a system that requires monitoring. Hence, large datasets are collected to find a baseline operating point for the device in both normal operating modes and failure conditions. The CN0549 CBM development kit includes a threshold detection routine for providing the correct analysis for this equipment.

Vibration Analysis

For evaluation and prediction of the life of a device, a significant amount of data needs to be processed. Hence, the CBM applications use vibration analysis for predictions, as the sensors are available for collecting datasets for analysis and modeling. The analysis involves the data points of the device working in optimal conditions and the conditional parameters when the device fails. The frequency spectrum can hence be measured and studied for analysis when operating with a vibration source.
