Multi-channel condition monitoring solution ProLink CMS

Versatile, Modular, and Easy to Interlink

Product Description

The ProLink multi-channel condition monitoring system monitors the condition of machines and equipment by means of vibration measurement.

The ProLink condition monitoring system offers:

Templates for monitoring rolling bearings, motors, gearboxes, fans, and pumps that make further configuration easier. Information about the machine geometry, such as the installed bearing type or the number of fan blades, is all that is required.
The learning mode allows individual adjustments to alarm thresholds in order to optimize monitoring
In the future, customers will be given the opportunity to optionally use the ConditionAnalyzer via the integrated cloud interface.

Product Details

Features

Simple initial operation thanks to the automatic monitoring configuration for standard units such as motors, fans, and pumps
Configuration, trend displays, and initial analyses take place directly on the device using the integrated web server and a standard web browser
A great variety of options for integration into your infrastructure using digital interfaces (e.g. OPC UA) and a modular field bus module. This allows the highest possible level of transparency by providing all measured information about the machines’ condition, e.g. for the customer’s own plant visualization, maintenance planning system, and quality assurance

Application Example

Schaeffler offers a standardized hardware and software infrastructure – from components equipped with sensors through to digital services.
One component is the ProLink condition monitoring system. It offers the perfect setup in combination with the ConditionAnalyzer – the automatic vibration diagnosis system.

Schaeffler Sensors

record the vibrations on the machine while the ProLink condition monitoring system analyzes the overall vibration condition as well as component-specific vibrations, e.g. in bearings, gears, etc.

All parameters and alarm statuses can be transmitted to the control room and the machine control system using OPC UA
The alarm condition can also be transmitted simultaneously to a maintenance planning system via OPC UA. The appropriate maintenance measures can then be initiated from there
High costs incurred by a stoppage can thus be reliably prevented
