Dynamox SA010232 DynaLogger Bluetooth Low Energy
Introduction
This document provides a guide for using the DynaPredict App, an application
developed to interact and communicate with DynaLoggers.
A DynaLogger is an industrial data logger that monitors the health of a
machine by storing temperature and vibration data in its internal memory.
The application allows users to perform the initial registration and con-
figuration of the DynaLoggers, as well as readings and manual data collection
via Bluetooth. The data can then be sent to the Dynamox Web Platform via an
internet connection (3G, 4G or Wi-Fi).
Initially, this document describes the installation of the DynaPredict App
and, later, details of the different displays and general functionality.
Installation
The DynaPredict app is available to download from the Google Play Store and is
compatible with all devices running Android 5.0 or higher and Bluetooth
technology.
A basic version of the app is also available for iOS devices and can be
downloaded from the Apple Store.
Screens
The following sections describe in detail the different screens and func- tionality of the DynaPredict application.
Login
When the app is first accessed, or after the user logout, the login screen will
be shown (Figure 1). The fields shown in Figure 1 should be filled in with the
previously obtained user credentials (e-mail and password).
New users can obtain credentials by contacting our Technical Support team via
e-mail: support@dynamox.net.
When logging into the app, the user should choose the work space for the
desired access.
The list of available work spaces takes into account the per-missions
previously assigned to the user on the Web Platform. For more details, please
consult the Web Plat-form Manual.
Initial Screen
After logging in, a list of machines registered to the company will be shown
on the initial screen (Figure 3) and it will be possible to access the side
menu by touching the icon ( ).
Both features will be explained in the following sections.
Side Menu
Once the icon ( ) has been selected, the side menu will expand (Figure 4) and the user will have access to 5 functions within the app, described below:
- Scan Spots: search for DynaLoggers that are already registered and are within the Bluetooth range of the app.
- Synchronize: Initiate the synchronization process of the data collected from the DynaLoggers via the app, sending the data to the Dynamox Web Platform. Internet access is necessary to perform this operation.
- Settings: allows the user to change the settings of the app.
- Change context: allow changes to the workspace.
- Logout: disconnect the user from the current session and return to the login screen.
Machine List
This screen, shown in Figure 5, displays the registered machines available to
the user.
New machines can be created using the icon ( ), located in the bottom right
corner of the screen. Machine creation will be covered in the next section.
This screen shows the names of the machines and their respective creation
dates, as well as the workspace to which they belong. In addition, there is an
icon showing the machine’s status.
The user is able to search for a specific machine or even filter
according to the machine status, as described in the following table:
New Machine
Dynamox SA010232 DynaLogger Bluetooth Low Energy fig 8
To do this, fill in the following fields:
- Name: used to identify the machine;
- Details: information such as format, position, function, etc;
- Workspace: Definition of the workspace in which the machine will be created, according to the asset tree defined in the Web Platform;
- Address: location in which the machine is installed. It’s possible to use Google Maps.
- Power: Power of the machine in kW;
- RPM: number of revolutions per minute of the machine.
In addition to this information, a photograph of the machine can be added by
pressing the icon ( ), located at the top of the screen.
To complete the registration, simply touch “NEXT”, located in the top right-
hand corner of the screen. The app will create the machine and direct the user
to a list of monitoring points (spots), where it will be possible to regis-ter
a new spot.
Spot List
Figure 7 -Spot list
By selecting a specific machine, the Spot list associated with that ma-chine is
displayed (Figure 7). The names of the spots, serial numbers of the associated
DynaLoggers and the dates of the latest collection are shown.
By pressing the icon ( ) in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, new
spots can be created. Creating and configuring spots is explained in the
following section.
New Spot
By pressing the icon ( ), the registration form for a new spot is dis-played.
On this screen it is possible to associate and configure all of the moni-toring
parameters of the DynaLogger.
First, choose the
DynaLogger model to be registered (TcA, AS or HF) and then add the
identification of the monitoring point.
To associate the DynaLogger with the spot in question, touch the icon ( ) in
the “DynaLogger” section.
A screen will appear showing DynaLoggers within the Bluetooth range of the
device.
Once the desired DynaLogger has been selected, the following parameters must
be set in order to complete the spot settings.
-
Sample interval: the value that defines the frequency of data collection, that is, time delay between measurements.
-
Sensors for monitoring: defines which parameters will be collected by the associated DynaLogger.
-
Default Spectrum: defines the duration and maximum frequency characteristics of the standard spectrum.
This information is important for spots that will be collected by the Dynamox Gateway (automatic collection). -
Monitoring Location and RPM: type of component to which the DynaLogger is attached and the revolutions per minute of the rotating component;
-
Range: Range of acceleration/velocity, that is, the maximum values that the DynaLogger will be able to collect. This choice impacts the graphics resolution.
-
TH: defines the trigger point for asynchronous measurements in [g], i.e. the value to which, if exceeded, the DynaLogger will “wake up” and collect global vibration and temperature data. The value must be between 0 and the maximum range value.
*Available for DynaLogger AS only. -
Alerts: thresholds for which an LED alert will be triggered in case of transgression. There are two levels: A1 and A2, with A2 being the most critical. The Dynalogger LED flashes green every 5 seconds. If A1 is transgressed, the color becomes red. In case the same happens to A2, the alert remains red but blinks twice in a row. These limits can be configured for temperature, velocity and, for devices that are supported, acceleration.
-
• Axes: Positioning configuration of the installed DynaLogger. By clicking on the question mark, an image will be displayed showing the DynaLogger X, Y and Z axes orientation. This orientation is also displayed on the device label. Based on this, the user can select the actual positioning given to the DynaLogger on the machine for each of the three axes.
Once the spot settings have been completed, the changes can be saved by clicking “SAVE” located in the top right-hand corner. A summary of the settings will then be shown for confirmation.
Spot Data
When selecting a spot from the Spot List, the app will attempt to connect to
the associated DynaLogger, downloading the data from the device’s internal
memory if it is within Bluetooth range (60m in open field).
The first screen the user will have access to is the “Instant read-ing” (Figure 10) where temperature and vibration values are shown in the 3 axes in real- time. The default fill of these graphs is blue. However, for parameters with thresholds defined in the spot configurations, the color of the graph will change if the limits are exceeded. If no limit is exceeded, the graph color is green. If the A1 limit is exceeded, the graph color will change to yellow. If the A2 limit is exceeded, the color will change to red.
There is also information about the battery life, alert level, and available
memory on the device. Additional information can also be accessed from the
associated DynaLogger, such as serial number, sample interval, and more.
In addition, the spot collection settings can also be edited from this screen
as well as requesting spectral analysis through the ‘Spectral’ tab, which will
be explained in the next section.
Temp, Vel e Acc
In the Temp, Vel, and Acc tabs, it is possible to view the graphs with the
latest temperature, RMS velocity and RMS acceleration data (when available)
collected by the DynaLogger since the last collection.
It is important to emphasize that the data collection of the DynaLogger
erases data from the device’s memory so that the device continually collects
data normally.
Exception: Users with a reader profile can view/read data on a smartphone screen, but this operation does not clear the DynaLogger’s memory. More information on permission levels can be found in the Web Platform Manual.
Spectrum
The “Spectrum” tab (Figure 12), allows the user to request a spectrum from the DynaLogger. This spectrum can be performed on a specific axis or on all three axes simultaneously.
It is possible to request a spectrum by pressing the icon ( ). The user will
be asked to select the axis on which to perform the spectrum. On the HF and AS
devices, the user will also be asked for the duration and maximum frequency of
the spectrum.
After requesting a spectrum, two graphs will be displayed: one in the time
domain (waveform) and the other in relation to frequency.
In addition to acceleration graphs, it is also possible to view velocity
graphs. To do this, simply touch the selection button ( ) and select the
desired graphic.
It is also possible to show or hide the axes to be viewed and access details
of the spectrum by touching the icon ( ).
Settings
The application settings can be accessed via the side menu (Figure 13). On this screen, the following settings can be changed:
- Wipe application data: erases all data from the app and removes all permissions.
- Enable query mode: Changes the DynaLogger memory cleaning function. By default, whenever data is collected from the DynaLogger, it is reset for storage of new data collection. By enabling query mode, whenever a collection is performed the user will be asked to decide whether or not to clear the DynaLogger’s memory.
- Default axis nomenclature: defines the default orientation of the X, Y and Z axes of the DynaLogger.
- Synchronization warning: Enables the notification bar for pending synchronization (red);
- Pending warning: Enables the notification bar for spots with pending status;
- Scan spots: Enables automatic searching for associated spots when opening a machine.
Synchronization
Once the data has been collected from the app, we recommend that users
synchronize the data. This way, the data will be uploaded to the Web
Platform and will be added to the historic data for the respective spot.
Synchronization is performed via the Synchronization option from the side menu
(Figure 4), or via the red notification bar “Synchronization Required” (Figure
14).
