Main motor vibration: from the overall value to the spectrum

An overall reading gains context when the trend, waveform and spectrum are together.

Luciai demonstration scenario — illustrates the module combination, no named customer.

Challenge

The problem at the plant

An overall vibration value alone offers little context for assessing a motor's condition. The analyst needs to locate the measurement, review its evolution and compare the waveform with the spectrum while retaining the measurement point and recorded condition.

Solution

How to apply Viziodata in this scenario

The example uses the main motor's demonstration point DEMO-01H. Vibration Analysis brings together the overall RMS trend, TWF waveform and FFT spectrum. Measurement and signal-type selection lets the analyst investigate different representations of the same point, with the latest recorded condition visible.

Features in use

What the team can monitor

Overall RMS value and its evolution over the selected period
Waveform and spectrum displayed side by side
Motor, measurement point and timestamp identified
Recorded condition available in the analysis context

In the team's routine

From data to the next step

01
Locate the measurement
Select the motor, measurement point and time to investigate. Check the signal type and unit of measurement.
02
Compare the representations
Observe the RMS trend and explore the waveform and spectrum for the same measurement. Use this evidence to support the technical assessment.
03
Record the condition
Document the asset assessment and agree on follow-up with maintenance. The chart demonstrates the tool; it does not establish a failure diagnosis on its own.
