Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
performing a downhole operation in a borehole;
capturing, during the downhole operation, downhole particles and drilling mud at the surface from the borehole into a screen of at least one shaker;
shaking the screen to emit vibrations to separate the downhole particles from the drilling mud;
defining a vibration limit for a normal operating condition of the at least one shaker;
setting a vibration fault threshold based on the vibration limit for the normal operating condition;
monitoring, using at least one sensor, the vibrations over time;
monitoring number of revolutions per unit of time of a motor of the at least one shaker causing the shaking;
determining there is a fault condition for the at least one shaker, in response to the vibrations exceeding the vibration fault threshold; and
in response to determining the number of revolutions per unit of time exceed a revolution threshold and in response to the vibrations exceeding the vibration fault threshold, determining that the fault condition comprises a fault in the motor.
