- Stand-alone autonomous system for structural health monitoring
- A sensitive alert to when and where degradation is occuring
- PC based acoustic measurement software provides system set-up, data handling and analysis functions
Data Acquisition Systems
Machinery
The combination of 3000 series sensors with an MHC Node (or Nodes), an MHC Point unit and an MHC View unit produces a powerful Condition Monitoring capability for monitoring rotating machinery. The user interface is accessed via the end users Wonderware acoustic measurement software.
Structures
The SIMPAL approach to AE based structural health monitoring is a radically different approach to conventional AE systems. SIMPAL is designed for long term field installation with the emphasis on practical application, rather than fundamental research use. Daisy chained SIMPAL Point units reduce large amounts of multi-channel sensor data into simple trends from which progressive degradation can be easily recognised. Set-up and data interrogation is done via the SIMPAL Node and can be viewed remotely via a GSM modem on a PC loaded with SIMPAL View.
