Development of a Portable Field Machinery Data Acquisition System

This paper describes the development of a portable data acquisition system for use in a plant-wide, predictive maintenance program for rotating machinery. Designed to replace hand-logging and other clipboard surveillance methods, the portable instrument stores the measured parameters in digital memory for transfer to a desktop host computer for processing and analysis. Developments in electronics and computer technology as well as preventive/predictive maintenance procedures have made this instrument system possible. These developments are outlined, along with a discussion of the operation and use of the system.

Data acquisition is a crucial stage in the execution of condition monitoring (CM) of rotating machinery, by means of vibration analysis. However, the major challenge in the execution of this technique lies in the features of the recording equipment (accuracy, resolution, sampling frequency and number of channels) and the cost they represent. The present work proposes a low-cost data acquisition system, based on Raspberry-Pi, with a high sampling frequency capacity in the recording of up to three channels. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed data acquisition system, a case study is presented in which the vibrations registered in a bearing are analyzed for four degrees of failure.

Practical Design

The trend in industrial control has been to reduce the communications wiring across a plant. Eliminating the cabled connection between a sensors and a host computer enhances the performances and the manageability of a data acquisition system. Through the use of Bluetooth technology the data acquisition components can be paired with a wide variety of pre-existing devices. This makes the host computer portable, cheaper and versatile. Data is collected from the sensors by a microcontroller with an attached Bluetooth module, which transmits the data to a host computer for processing. Costs are reduced by making use of pre-existing processing power and display on the host computer. Depending on the application the data can be processed in any way required on the host computer. This paper describes the practical design of Bluetooth based 12- Channel temperatures acquisition system which contains remote temperature sensors connected to a microcontroller which controls also the Bluetooth module transmission, and a computer connected to a Bluetooth adapter. In this way, the sensors data are collected and processed by the microcontroller, transmitted via Bluetooth to a host computer which monitoring and recording the temperatures measurements.

Computerized well logging equipment plays an important role in petroleum exploration and production, and data acquisition system is the core of it. In order to improve the acquisition systems which are used in some oil fields in recent years, a new design of data acquisition system is introduced. The ARM embedded chip and the FPGA chip are the kernel chips of the data acquisition system, and the Ethernet is the communication medium between the cards of the data acquisition system and the host computer of the numerical controlled well logging system. This data acquisition system has more integrated level and communication speed higher than the others of same kind.
