Title: Vibration monitoring system and method
Inventor: SIME MARTIN
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 2015-06-25
Abstract: A system for remote monitoring of at least one parameter of a component (for example machine vibration) comprises a transmitter unit associated with the component and a remote receiver unit. The transmitter unit receives an analogue parameter signal from at least one sensor 50, converts it in an ADC to a digital signal and modulates the digital signal to a format for wireless transmission to the receiver unit. The receiver unit demodulates the signal and converts it to an analogue output. If the transmitter unit does not receive an acknowledgement within a timeout period, a portion of the signal not received is re-transmitted. The transmitter unit can have at least two amplifying modules to selectively apply a gain such that the signal amplitude is sufficient to preserve all the data without the signal being truncated by the subsequent analogue to digital conversion. The transmitter unit may also remove a DC offset from the signal and transmit a value of the DC offset to the receiver such that the receiver can add the DC offset to the analogue output.
