Introduction

This chapter is a short introduction to SKF Enlight Centre.

  1. Overview

   

Figure 1 – Enlight Centre workflow

The SKF Enlight Centre is a web-based software that is designed to facilitate collection and analysis of machine data. Enlight Centre then uses this data to provide insight and actions that help SKF improve the customer’s efficiency and reliability.

Data can be collected using various data acquisition devices. To collect machine data, routes are created in Enlight Centre. The routes are downloaded to the data acquisition device and walked by an inspector. Machine data is collected with the data acquisition device, see Section 6 References for further information.

When machine data has been collected, the data is uploaded from the data acquisition device to Enlight Centre and the route is marked as completed.

  

  1. Scope

The purpose of this user manual is to provide instructions for Enlight Centre. The intended audience is all users of Enlight Centre. The manual includes descriptions of different roles and the functionality available for the different roles. The manual does not contain information about any hardware or how to install or modify other software. See Section 6 References for further information.

  1. Typographical convention

Names of buttons and on-screen objects are presented in bold text, e.g. click Log in.

In this manual, the word “select” means to choose and confirm selection of an item or alternative.

Messages displayed on the screen are written in italics enclosed in single quotes, e.g. ‘A route already exists’.

Note: Is used to indicate notes to the reader (information of special importance).

Step-by-step procedures are sequenced using sequence numbering: 1., 2., 3., …

Procedures not dependent of sequence order use bullets: •. Bullets can also mark a list of functions or buttons.

  1. Supported web browsers

Enlight Centre supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. It does not support Internet Explorer. Contact SKF for more information about browser versions, see Product support contact information.

  1. Machine health status

This chapter describes Machine health status and how this is determined.

Machine status is determined by several factors, see Figure 4.

Figure 4 – Determining machine health status

How to set alarm levels

An enabled measurement point with data can have the following alarm status:

  • Danger: Measurement value above the danger level.
  • Alert: Measurement value above the warning level and below the danger level.
  • Good: Measurement value below the warning and danger levels.
  • Not set: Alarm levels are undefined, and status cannot be set.

See also Section 4.4.7 Set alarm thresholds.

Faults and Severity

When reporting faults, select between the different severity levels:

  • Severe
  • Moderate
  • Suspect

Fault severity is mapped to health status, according to:

  • Unacceptable: Severe
  • Unsatisfactory: Moderate
  • Satisfactory: Suspect & Minor
  • Good: No open fault

  1. Health status categories

The health status categories are described in detail in Table 1.

Table 1 – Description of health status categories

 

Status Health status category description
Unacceptable(SEVERE) The Asset Health Status is Unacceptable when the identified fault severity is Severe.Assets in this category have a high risk of immediate functional failure or sustaining secondary damage; this health status involves taking urgent corrective actions to repair or improve the reliability of the asset and reduce risks.Short-term urgency, the problem requires correction in the short term, in general within a few days or weeks.Work Notification must be issued to communicate faults and remedial actions recommended to improve the asset health.
UNSATISFACTORY(MODERATE) The Asset Health Status is Unsatisfactory when the identified fault severity is marked as Moderate. The Asset Classes in this category have a high risk of functional failure; this health status involves taking corrective actions to repair or improve the reliability of the asset and reduce risks.Mid-term urgency, it is generally estimated that the asset can perform its designated function up to the next vibration analysis survey or for the next few months, although this cannot be guaranteed.Work Notification must be issued to communicate faults and remedial actions recommended to improve the asset health.
SUSPECT(SATISFACTORY) Assets in this category imply that there might be a Suspect fault which is not clearly identified, and additional measurements are required to clearly define the problem and its severity level.The asset health status is considered Satisfactory but might require that follow up actions are taken by SKF or the customer to support the decision to request corrective actions or update the asset health status to Good. Minor repair actions such as “lubrication”, “inspections” or others may be requested for assets in this health status category.
GOOD(NORMAL) The health status of the asset is considered Good to perform the required function up to the next vibration analysis survey.There are no significant changes over time. Repair actions are not required.
NOT MONITORED The Not Monitored category is applicable to assets which the health status could not be assessed due to safety constraints (e.g. data not collected due to inaccessibility) or CM software or hardware fault.Repair actions such as “Replace coupling guard”, “Replace sensor cable” or others may be requested to assets under this health status category.
OUT OF SERVICE The Out of Service category is applicable to assets whose health status could not be assessed due to it not being operational, not being under the required operating regime or being under maintenance.

 

Note: The categories Not Monitored and Out of Service do not replace previous Asset Health Status classification if the severity of the fault is either Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory or Unacceptable.

  1. Hierarchy

Hierarchies are used to set up companies in a structured way so that condition monitoring can be performed.

The Hierarchy panel displays an overview of a company’s Sites with Functional Locations, Assets, Measurement Points and Inspection Points available for the user. The view is divided into levels. This is an example:

  • Root Level (Company)
  • Level 1 (Site)
  • Level 2 (Plant, Ship, System or Functional Location)
  • Level 3 (System or Functional Location)
  • Level 4 (System, Functional Location or Asset)
  • Level 5 (Asset, Measurement Point or Inspection Point)
  • Level 6 (Measurement Point or Inspection Point)

The available Sites with Functional Locations visible in the overview depends on which customer hierarchies the user is assigned access to, by an administrator.

Important: To use Route functionality, Hierarchies need to have either Plant or Ship nodes.

  4. Select Sensor type: either Internal sensor or Extension sensor.
    Note: Extension sensor is only applicable when using QuickCollect sensor model CMDT 391.
  5. Press Save.

Measurement points with enabled configuration for QuickCollect sensor have additional settings that can be configured. These settings include: Fmax (Hz), Number of lines, View signal, Detection signal and High pass filter.

Figure 16  – Measurement point with enabled configuration for QuickCollect Sensor       

  1. Set alarm thresholds

In hierarchies, the alarm thresholds for a Measurement point, Inspection point or QuickCollect point are set, see Figure 17.

Machine data collected and transferred to Enlight Centre is displayed on the screen with easy-to-identify colour-coded bars that indicate alarm status: green for acceptable, yellow for alert and red for danger.

The alarm levels can also be synchronised with the SKF ProCollect app. See the ProCollect User Manual, Section 6 References, for further information.

Note: The alarm thresholds can only be set after the Measurement point, Inspection point or QuickCollect point is saved.

                       

Figure 17 – Set alarm levels for Measurement point, Numeric Inspection point and QuickCollect point

  1. Select Enable alarm and enter values for the alarm thresholds.
  1. Out of window means that if a value is outside a certain range, it will trigger an alarm. An example of this is temperature.
    If something is too cold or too hot, it is ‘bad’. In this case it is     Danger high if it is too hot and Danger low if it is too low.
  2. In window is the opposite alarm logic. The value is considered good if it is above a certain number or below a certain number. An out of window alarm is more commonly used, but in either case the colour bar to the right, will usefully feedback a confirmation of where the alarm zones are being set.

Alarms can be configured for Inspection points with either single choice or multiple-choice question. An alarm and operator instructions can be specified for each added answer.

         

Figure 18 – Set alarm levels for multiple choice question Inspection point and QuickCollect Point

  1. Routes

Routes are used to manage what data to collect and when data is to be collected from machines using portable devices. A route is a selection of Functional Locations with measurement or inspection points.

The Routes panel displays a list of created routes, see Figure 19 and Figure 20.

When clicking on a route, a more detailed view of the route is displayed, including the Functional Locations, Assets and Points.

Routes can be created to have a mix of Points and complete Assets.

Basic routes can be set as Make Rewalkable, which allows the user to create copies of the exact same route through the ProCollect App.

Recurring routes are collected in a scheduled interval, which can be specified when creating or editing a route. The recurring routes can be set to inactive or active, which enables the collection to be turned off/on. It is possible to set the schedule interval for each Functional Location and in addition, Assets and Points can have their own schedule.

Observation routes are time-limited routes, intended for repeated data collection on machines that need closer monitoring during a time-period up to 6 months. The content of an observation route is always the same, regardless of the individual functional location schedules.

Important: Before a route can be created, either a Plant or Ship must be attached to the Company or Site. Only eligible plants or ships are shown in the list of available routes.

Note: Only one route can be active at a time per ship. Once the active route is returned to Enlight Centre, a new route can be sent to the ship. Plants support multiple active routes at the same time.

  1. Analyze

The Analyze panel displays an overview of all Functional Locations available for the user. The available Functional Locations visible in the overview depend on which customers hierarchies the user is assigned access to, by an administrator.

All Functional Locations are visible in the same table and the Functional Location list can be sorted on the different columns. It is also possible to search for specific Functional Locations, using the search field.

Figure 25 – Analyze landing page

  1. Navigate through the assigned customer hierarchies, using the side panel.
  2. Search for specific Functional Locations using the search field.
  3. Sort on Functional Location, Collected date, Status, or Reported date by clicking the labels. The sorting is either ascending or descending which is indicated by the arrows.

  1. Analyze assets

Trend, Spectrum and Timewave plots help determine if machinery condition changes are occurring and if so, to help with analysing the cause of machinery condition changes.

Select a Functional Location in the list to display a detailed view of the available Assets. Select an Asset in the Asset menu to display it in the Asset workspace. In the Asset workspace, detailed trends and graphs are displayed, see

Figure 26.

  2. Select an Asset in the Asset menu to display a Trend plot.
  3. Click on a Measurement point to display a Spectrum plot.
  4. Click Show timewave to display a Timewave plot.

  1. Trend plot

Trend plots allow the user to easily compare a measurement point’s most recent reading to its previous readings and its alarm set up, allowing the user to see how the point is ‘trending’ over time. Trend plot is an easy and accurate method of detecting gradual changes in process conditions and changes that might otherwise be overlooked. The horizontal X Axis represents Time (Date/Time) and the vertical Y Axis represents Magnitude.

Figure 27 – Trend plot

  • Click on the exclamation marks to see available process data.

  1. Spectrum plot

Spectrum plot is a tool for performing analysis by breaking down the vibration measurements into component frequencies.

The horizontal X Axis represents Vibration frequency (Hz, CPM or Orders of running speed) and the vertical Y Axis represents Vibration amplitude.

  3. O – Displays the X-axis as orders of running speed.
  4. Sideband cursor
  5. Harmonic cursor
  6. Single cursor
  7. Band cursor

  1. Sideband cursor

The Sideband cursor displays additional cursors at frequencies to either side of the base cursor. For example, if the base cursor is placed at 5 orders and the sideband interval equals 1 order, then the 1st pair of sideband cursors will be located at ±1 order on either side of the base cursor (i.e. at 4 and 6 orders). Additional sideband cursors (5 by default) will each be located an additional ±1 order away.

Default settings

  • Number of sidebands = 5. Change the number of sidebands by using the left and right arrows next to 'Sidebands' in the information box to the right of the spectrum plot.
  • The base cursor is placed at 50% of the frequency range.
  • Sidebands are placed at ±1x, ±2x ... ±5x the base frequency.

Move base cursor

  • Move the base cursor by selecting it with the mouse and dragging it along the frequency axis to the desired location.
    Note: When moving the base cursor, the sidebands will also move to maintain ±1x, ±2x, ... ±5x the interval from the base frequency.

Move sidebands

  • Move a sideband cursor by selecting it with the mouse and dragging it along the frequency axis.
    Note: When moving a sideband cursor, the base frequency is not changed, and the sidebands are moved to maintain the same distance between them.

Information box

  • The information box to the right of the spectrum plot displays the frequency and the amplitude for the base cursor and each sideband cursor.
  • The number of sidebands and the interval between them can be controlled using the left and right arrows.

  1. Harmonic Cursor

The Harmonic cursor displays cursors at integer multiples of the base cursor. If the base cursor is located at 1x rpm, harmonics will appear at 2x, 3x, 4x, etc.

Default settings

  • Number of harmonics displayed = 10. Alter the number of harmonics by using the left and right arrows next to 'Harmonies' in the information box to the right of the spectrum plot.
  • The base cursor is placed at 1x rpm when information of the speed of the machine is available.
  • The base cursor is placed at 50% of the frequency range if the speed of the machine is not known.
  • Harmonic markers are placed at 2x, 3x ...10x the base frequency.

Move base cursor

  • Move the base cursor by selecting it with the mouse and dragging it along the frequency axis to the desired location.
  • Move the base cursor by using the left & right arrows in the information box to the right of the spectrum plot.
    Note: When moving the base cursor, the harmonics will be moved to maintain 2x, 3x, 4x the base frequency.

Move harmonic cursor

  • Move a harmonic cursor by selecting it with the mouse and dragging it along the frequency axis.
    Note: When moving a harmonic cursor, it will move a fraction of the last harmonic. (i.e. moving the harmonic at 10x the base frequency 1 bin to the left, the harmonic at 9x the base frequency will move 9/10th of a bin and snap to the closest bin, the harmonic at 8x the base frequency will move 8/10th of a bin and snap to the closest bin, etc.)

Information box

  • The information box to the right of the spectrum plot displays the frequency and the amplitude for each harmonic.
  • You can control the number of harmonics (Harmonies) and the Interval between them using the left and right arrows.

  1. Single Cursor

The single cursor is a base cursor that can be moved to any frequency and identifies the amplitude at that frequency.

Default settings

  • The single cursor is placed at the highest peak in the spectrum.

Move

  • Move the single cursor by selecting it with the mouse and dragging it along the frequency axis to the desired location or use the arrow buttons in the information box to the right of the plot.

Multiple cursors

  • Add multiple instances of the single cursor by pressing Add cursor in the information box to the right of the plot.

Information box

  • The information box displays information about each cursor’s x and y values.

  1. Band Cursor

Asset

An Asset is a specific piece of equipment with a unique identification number.

Condition

See Health Status.

Criticality

The Asset criticality indicates how critical the asset is within the production process. Criticality is a process to evaluate each functional location's importance to the business with focus on factors such as safety, regulatory impact, revenue loss, and reduced capacity. E.g. "A", "B", "C", "High", "Medium", "Low".

Critical implies that failure has the potential to stop the production process, endanger machinery, personnel, or environment, or have substantial financial consequence.

Enlight Centre

Enlight Centre is a web-based software that is implemented to facilitate collection and analysis of machine data.

Faults

Imperfection in the state or condition of a maintainable item/component/part that is likely to result in a functional failure if not corrected.

Functional Location

A Functional Location groups assets of a company according to functional, process-related or location criteria. Typically, a Functional Location represents the place at which a task is performed, and where various Assets are installed. Examples: Water injection skid, Compressor house, Motor room.

Functional Location ID

The Functional Location ID identifies both the equipment function and the physical location.

ProCollect App

ProCollect is an application designed to run on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or tablet. ProCollect is used by an inspector for collection of machine data.

Health Status

The Asset Health Status summarises the results of the machinery health state and diagnostics. It also indicates the severity of the fault and urgency of repair actions.

MTBR

Mean Time Between Repair.

Priority Rank        

Priority Rank is an integrated approach to the risk-informed decision-making process. It gives Asset Managers a risk-centric view of the asset probability to perform a required function and the risks involved if it doesn't. Used to prioritise CM Specialist workload to establish a most-to-least-critical importance ranking.

Recommended Action

The Recommended Actions are the tasks suggested to resolve the listed incipient faults or functional failures and restore the asset’s health status to Normal. The Recommended Actions are based on, for example, the criticality of the assets, operation and maintenance costs, availability of spare parts and the severity of the fault.

Severity

The Severity of a Report indicates the level of criticality from the identified incipient fault.

Work Notification

Work Notification is used to request work to fix incipient faults/functional failures.

Work Order

Work Order is a financial and work management transaction used to plan and charge labour, materials, and services required to execute requested work.
