- AC (Alternating Current)
-
An electrical power supply in which current periodically reverses direction. Required for powering the monitoring system enclosures.
- APR (Advanced Pattern Recognition)
-
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.
- asset tree
-
A hierarchical representation of plant equipment inside InsightCM. Used for organizing devices, configuring monitoring, and associating data with specific assets.
- cavitation
-
A damaging condition in pumps caused by vapor bubble formation and collapse, detectable through high‑frequency vibration patterns.
- dry contact input
-
A simple open/closed electrical measurement, often used for status/alarm indication.
- imbalance
-
A common rotating‑equipment fault where mass is unevenly distributed around a rotor, causing elevated vibration at running speed.
- InsightCM™ (ICM)
-
InsightCM™ is application software for condition monitoring with full access to waveforms, multiple sensor technology inputs, enterprise software connectivity, and analytics packages.
- IP rating (ingress protection)
-
A standardized classification that describes an enclosure’s resistance to dust and water.
- line-of-sight range
-
The maximum unobstructed distance over which wireless sensors can maintain communication with the gateway—typically 100 m depending on interference levels.
- misalignment
-
A fault occurring when coupled machine shafts are not properly aligned, causing elevated vibration at 1× and 2× running speed.
- NEMA rating
-
A North American standard classifying enclosure protection levels against environmental conditions.
- PoE (Power over Ethernet)
-
A method of powering devices through an Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate AC wiring.
- sensor node (wireless node)
-
Battery-powered wireless sensing modules that collect vibration, thermal, temperature, speed, process, and status data. Up to 250 nodes can connect to a single gateway.
- shaft‑centerline plot
-
A polar chart used to visualize shaft orbit movement relative to bearing clearance; critical for large rotating machinery diagnostics.
- structural resonance
-
A vibration amplification condition caused when operating frequencies match natural system frequencies; detectable via wireless vibration sensors.
- thermal imaging (wireless)
-
A wireless low-resolution infrared camera used to detect hot spots on electrical and mechanical equipment, trending temperatures over time.
- trending
-
The process of recording and analyzing changes in data over time to detect abnormal patterns or emerging failures.
- wireless protocol
-
The 2.4 GHz BLE 5.0 communication layer supporting secure, low-power data transmission between sensors and the gateway.
