Derived POINTs are a feature of SKF @ptitude Analyst software. However, there are differences in the total derived POINT functionality based on the @ptitude application installed. The CMSW 7400 platform is the most powerful and provides all derived POINT functionality (refer to the “Derived POINT functions” section in this article for more detail).
Derived POINTs are intended to compute specific results based on data collected through any of SKF’s machinery monitoring or inspection devices. For example, you might collect a pump’s inlet and outlet pressures by means of two appropriate POINTs. A derived POINT can then use the collected pressure data to compute a pump efficiency index. In another case, you might wish to view an average of vibration for a machine, or an average across a set of measurements. In this way, derived POINTs are very similar to cell “macros” in Microsoft Excel. Continue reading about derived POINT functionality in this application note.
This article assumes the reader is familiar with SKF @ptitude Analyst concepts, such as the hierarchy, machine and POINT nodes, manual node types, etc.
