Glossary

An electrical power supply in which current periodically reverses direction. Required for powering the cRIO and camera enclosures.

A machine‑learning or statistical modeling method that uses historical sensor data to detect abnormal asset behavior and predict developing failures. InsightCM can send feature data to plant historians for use in APR models.

A hierarchical representation of plant equipment inside InsightCM. Used for organizing devices, configuring monitoring, and associating data with specific assets.

NI Compact Reconfigurable I/O Controller.

A visible thermal pattern captured by the IR camera, representing temperature distribution on a surface.

A rating that indicates an enclosure’s resistance to mechanical impact.

A standardized classification that describes an enclosure’s resistance to dust and water.

InsightCM™ is application software for condition monitoring with full access to waveforms, multiple sensor technology inputs, enterprise software connectivity, and analytics packages.

input/output

A wavelength of light not visible to the human eye but detectable with specialized cameras to measure surface temperatures.

A North American standard classifying enclosure protection levels against environmental conditions.

User‑defined rectangular or polygonal areas within a thermal image. InsightCM trends minimum, maximum, average, and delta temperatures for each ROI.

The process of recording and analyzing temperature changes over time to detect abnormal patterns or emerging failures.
