BANNER SolutionsKit9-Vibe-MH Wireless MultiHop Vibration Solutions Kit

Overview

The MultiHop version of the Vibration Solutions Kit provides visual status of up to 40 Banner vibration and temperature sensors that are wirelessly linked to the included DXM Wireless Controller. The added benefits of a MultiHop style Solutions Kit include longer range capabilities by using repeater radios, wiring multiple sensors to a single radio, and more vibration information available per sensor for advanced applications.The program takes a data sample every five minutes from the vibration sensors and the software uses the raw data to detect whether an asset is running, create a baseline of the four vibration characteristics (RMS Velocity 10-1000 Hz on Z and X axis and RMS High Frequency Acceleration 1000-4000 Hz on Z and X axis), and generate warning and alarm thresholds for those characteristics. Only data from an operational asset is used to create the baselines or thresholds and only that data is used to trigger warnings or alarms. Data from assets that are not running/operational appear on the graphs but are not used in the analysis.RMS Velocity identifies asset imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and other low frequency machine issues.RMS High Frequency Acceleration is used to indicate early bearing wear issues

This kit also requires a 24 V DC Class 2 (UL) or a Limited Power Source (LPS) (CE) power supply that is sold separately. Banner recommends model PSW-24-1 (FCC/CE) or model PSD-24-4 (FCC/CE) if you are powering additional indicator lights.

Getting Started

  1.  Connect and plug in the 24 V DC Class 2 or LPS power supply to the Solutions Kit to apply power to the radios.
  2.  Assign sensor Modbus IDs (see Assign Modbus IDs to the Sensors on page 2).
  3.  Bind the radios to the kit (see Bind a Node on page 3).
  4.  Perform a site survey to confirm your signal quality (see Perform a Site Survey on page 3).
  5. After a radio is bound with a sensor attached, the system begins sampling data to create a baseline for that sensor.

HMI Home Screen

Status icons represent groups of 10 assets for a total of 40 motors. Each icon is a color-coded indication of the status of vibration warnings (yellow) or alarms (red), temperature warnings or alarms, wireless connection status (green), or out of sync (orange) within that group.The icon acts as a touch button that brings up the 10 individual icons that represent that assets’ status and acts as a touch button to view that assets’ screen where detailed data viewing options are available (see Vibration Node Group Screens on page 3).

Press X (in the upper right hand corner of each icon) to hide that group of assets and prevent Node status alerts for any Nodes within that group. Press the icon that appears after pressing X to unhide that group for future expansion.In this MultiHop version, all but motor #1 start as hidden for program efficiency. Only unhide sensors that have been added and are in the network.Press Settings to open access to radio binding, radio site survey, asset baselining, log file downloads, and other settings (see Settings Screen on page 5).Touch each asset group label to re-label the icon.

Assign Modbus IDs to the Sensors
To begin configuring the sensors, each sensor must have a Modbus Sensor ID assigned to it. Modbus Sensor IDs must be between 11 and 50.Each Modbus Sensor ID corresponds to individual sensor icon on the HMI, with ID 11 being Motor 1 and ID 50 being Motor 40. Sensor IDs don’t have to be assigned in order and sensor IDs can be skipped if desired.To assign Modbus Sensor IDs, use either the menu system or the configuration software. To use the radio’s menu system, follow these steps. For VT1 sensors, use your M-H10 radio and for VT2 sensors, use one of many radio options, such as M-H, M-H2, etc.

  1.  Apply power to the radio and connect one sensor at a time.
  2.  Push button 1 until *DVCFG appears, then push button 2.
  3.  Push button 1 until -S ADR appears and push button 2.
  4.  Push button 1 and wait for the radio to read the current sensor ID.
  5. A three-digit value appears with the current sensor ID with a blinking cursor.
  6.  Assign a unique Modbus Sensor ID value from 11 to 50. Use the left button to cycle the value from 0 to 9 and the right button to accept the value and move the cursor to the next digit right.
  7.  Push and hold button 2.The screen says SAVING.
  8.  To repeat for more sensors, unplug the sensor and plug in the next sensor and repeat steps 3 through 6 with a new device ID.
  9.  After you have finished, double-click button 2 to return to the main menu.
  10.  Connect all sensors to be attached to that radio.

To assign the Modbus Sensor IDs using the configuration software, use the Sensor Configuration Software with a computer and either the BWA-USB1WIRE-001 cable accessory for the VT1 sensor or the BWA-UCT-900 cable accessory for the VT2 sensor to connect the sensor to the computer.Follow the instructions in the Sensor Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n 170002) to assign the sensor’s Modbus ID to a value between 11 and 50.

Site Survey and Binding Screen
Banner Wireless radios, such as the battery-powered H10 radio paired with VT1 Vibration and Temperature Sensors or any Banner MultiHop Radio with RS485 connected to VT2 Vibration and Temperature Sensors, must be bound to the DXM Wireless Controller inside the Solutions Kit to begin communicating.Following the instructions below, the radios are assigned a Modbus ID and begin communicating with the DXM wirelessly. Radios and sensors are purchased separately and after they are combined, must be bound individually. A new radio and sensor can be added to the network at any time by using the binding procedure. Radios must be bound to IDs 51 through 110.Use the site survey function to measure the signal strength of radios after the solutions kit and radios are installed. Line-powered radios can be used as repeaters to improve signal connection between other nearby radios and the master radio inside the solutions kit. Battery-powered H10 radios should be configured to run only as slave radios in transparent mode (DIP switches 6 and 7 ON).

Bind a Node
Follow these instructions to bind each of your radios to the DXM Controller master radio.

  1.  On the HMI screen, go to the Settings > Site Survey & Binding screen.

  2.  Enter in the Modbus ID next to the Binding rocker switch and tap that switch to turn it ON.

  3.  Enter binding mode on the radio.

  4. If your radio has rotary dials, set the rotary dials to the same Modbus ID value entered on the HMI, then triple-click button 2 to enter binding mode.

  5.  If your radio does not have rotary dials, triple-click button 2.The Node enters binding mode. After the Node is bound, the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they flash together four times. The radio automatically exits binding mode.

  6. On the HMI, touch the same ON/OFF rocker switch to turn the switch to OFF.
    The DXM exits binding mode. After the DXM is out of binding mode, the radio’s indicator LED flickers green when the Node is in sync with the DXM.

  7. Repeat steps 1–4 for as many radios as are needed for the system.Note that entering binding mode causes all radios to go out of sync with the DXM until after the DXM exits binding mode. The radios will resume communicating with the DXM within a few seconds.

Network Reformation
Use the Network Reformation rocker switch any time a sensor is moved from one radio to another to help the network reform without requiring a reboot. The switch will turn OFF when the reformation is complete.

Perform a Site Survey
Follow these steps to perform a radio signal quality check.

  1.  On the HMI screen, enter in the Modbus ID of the radio (51-110) next to the Site Survey rocker switch and tap that switch to turn it ON.A 15-second timer appears next to the switch and counts to 15. After the timer is complete (it may take longer depending on signal quality or if the radios are going through repeaters), the results of the site survey appear in the Green, Yellow, Red, and Missed boxes. The results are shown as a percentage and add up to a total of 100.
  2.  Follow the interpreting section of the Conducting a Site Survey and Interpreting the Results technical note on bannerengineering.com to determine what your results mean for your application.

Vibration Node Group Screens

Each asset group on the main page has a screen of icons, one for each sensor/radio pair. These icons represent the status of the motor with colored icons.

Touch any icon to bring up the individual sensor’s screen that includes graphs, raw data, and alert descriptions (see Individual Radio (Asset) Status Screen on page 4).Touch X (upper right hand corner of each icon) to hide that asset and prevent connection status alerts from that senspr/radio from appearing on the main HMI screen. Use the button that appears after pressing X to unhide that group for future expansion. For example, asset #8 is hidden in the sample screen.Touch each asset label to re-label the icon. That label remains in non-volatile memory and appears on the Node’s status screen, binding screen, site survey screen, and baselining screens.
A small green lamp in the bottom right corner of a Node’s icon indicates when that Node is baselining. Only temperature warnings and alarms appear during the baselining phase. After baselining is complete, the threshold levels are established and vibration alerts may begin to appear.If a sensor appears out of sync (orange), that means the radio it is attached to is no longer in sync with the main controller. This may indicate you need to replace the battery in the radio or interference is preventing the radio from remaining in sync. After replacing the battery or improving the radio’s site survey results, use the network reformation button (see Network Reformation on page 3).

Individual Radio (Asset) Status Screen
Select a sensor/radio icon to open that sensor/radio’s status screen. Use the Back button to return to the previous screen.

Select Vibration Characteristic (1)
Use Select Vibration Characteristic to graph raw data.Options include: Z-Axis Velocity, Z-Axis High Frequency Acceleration, X-Axis Velocity, and X-Axis High Frequency Acceleration. The bottom left of the screen shows a real-time readout of the selected characteristic. Velocity is displayed in in/s (mm/s for Vibemetric versions) and acceleration is displayed in g. Note: Velocity values of 6.5535 and/or acceleration values of 5.355 indicate a sensor error. The system ignores these data points to avoid affecting the saved baseline or trended data. The system will not baseline when the raw data values appear as those values. Contact Banner support for troubleshooting.

Time Scale (2)
Select the Time Scale of the graph from 1 to 168 total hours.Use the arrow keys to scroll right or left to see different periods of the collected data. The maximum viewable data on the HMI is 168 hours or 7 days. The graphing data loggers have a fixed number of data points. If you are using the DEMO MODE button on the Settings page, the increased sample rate reduces the number of data points available for viewing until those data points have rolled off the end of the timeline.

Scale Maximum (3)
Select the data Scale Maximum. For acceleration, the range is 0.25 g to 5 g (g-force). For velocity, the range is 0.5 in/s to 5 in/s (10 mm/s to 60 mm/s for metric versions).

Current Alerts (4)
The Current Alerts section shows any warnings or alarms based on the Axis, Vibration Characteristic, and type (Chronic or Acute) that the system is detecting.Acute alerts are those crossing the threshold for five samples in a row (or the user setting on the Settings screen) and Chronic alerts are when a 100 point moving average crosses the thresholds. Only data from an operational asset is used to calculate averages and alerts.

Select Temperature (5)
Use Select Temperature to view the temperature graph over the selected time period.Directly above the button is the current temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of the selected Node. The readout color is white if it’s nominal, yellow if it’s in a warning state, and red if it’s in an alarm state. The warning and alarm temperature settings are 158 °F and 176 °F respectively. A raw temperature value of 327.67 indicates a sensor error. Contact Banner’s technical support for troubleshooting.

Select Current (6)
Use Select Current to view the current graph over the selected time period.Directly to the right of the button is the raw current reading in Amps of the selected Node. The readout color is white if it’s normal, yellow if it’s in a warning state, and red if it’s in an alarm state. Requires the use of the Banner CM1L Condition Monitoring VT/CT node. This option only appears if Enable Current Measurements is turned on within the Settings screen. Warning and alarm settings are set on the Current Alarm Settings screen within the Settings page.n the upper right corner of the screen is the Sensor’s Modbus ID and the radio ID to which the sensor is attached. This can be useful in finding which radio a sensor is connected to if the orange Out of Sync status icon appears. Signal quality or battery replacement may be necessary for a radio that loses connection status.

Settings Screen

Baseline a Sensor/Radio (Asset)

After the sensor/radio is installed and the system is powered on, the software automatically begins collecting data and determines if the asset is running.The software generates a baseline and thresholds based on the first 300 data samples or about 24 hours of asset running time(unless modified on the Settings page).When an asset is replaced, repaired, or has heavy maintenance done, create a new baseline. If the sensor is moved after the initial baseline is calculate, generate a new baseline.Vibration Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance Solutions Kit Quick Start Guide (MultiHop)

  1.  Turn on baselining for the appropriate Nodes if a new baseline needs to be generated.The initial baseline is generated any time a new sensor is connected to the system (or bound to the controller radio) and begins sending data without the need to trigger these switches. The number of baseline samples remaining displays next to the ON/OFF switch. The baseline switch remains on during baselining and resets to off after the baseline is complete.
  2.  Use the tabs Assets #1-10, Assets #11-20, Assets #21-30, and Assets #31-40 to access the baseline switches for the sensors/radios.
  3.  Use the corresponding Manual Warning & Alarm Adjustments button for each sensor/radio to open an individual windowed screen where current baseline threshold settings are visible.
  4.  Touch the numeric entry box in any of the New Settings rows to manually enter a new value for any or all the warning or alarm thresholds, including temperature.
  5.  Set vibration settings back to zero to use the original baseline setting.
  6. . Manually set the temperature back to the baseline setting by entering 158 °F (70 °C) for warning or 176 °F (80 °C) for alarm. Temperature is not a baselined value. Although it displays a baseline value, the value is for reference if the new setting is changed.

HMI Options Menu Screen
The HMI Options screen provides some added HMI functionality along with icon and graph legends.The HMI provides data logging of all the raw data, baselines, and thresholds. This data is saved to a file every 30 minutes and a new file is generated every day and stored in monthly folders. The HMI has storage for about 45 days of log files.

Auto Delete Files Older than ‘X’ Days The HMI auto deletes files older than the selected number of days.Default is 30 days with a maximum of 45 days for MulitHop radio kits and 60 days for Performance radio kits.

Copy Log Files to USB Drive
Plug a USB drive into the back of the HMI and click here to select the log files or folders to copy.

HMI System Setup

  • Enters HMI Panel Setup.
  • Use for setting Time, Date, and Advanced Options.
  • Entering this screen will clear any logged data from the graphs but will not clear any data saved to files.

Re-Initialize HMI Non Volatile on Restart
Flip the switch to ON before restarting the HMI to reinitialize default settings and labels.

Restart HMI Application
Restarts the HMI application, which clears all graphed data but retains the saved logs.

Stop Operation Safely
Stops HMI operation safely without data corruption before you power off the HMI.Always use this button before powering down to avoid data file corruption. If a Failed to write logged data to file or Failed to save message appears, this is because of a power loss during the saving process. You must delete this file (from the day of the power loss) by using the HMI System Setup menu.

Advanced Options

Install a Warning or Alarm Light
Add a tower light or indicator light (such as a K70, TL50, TL70, etc.) to the solution box for added local indications of all clear, warnings, or alarms.DXM Controller uses PNP outputs with a maximum of 100 mA per output. An interposing relay may need to be added to accommodate higher amperage lights.

  1. Cut a hole in the box and mount the light accordingly.
  2.  Wire the DC ground to the light or an interposing relay from the bottom row of the gray two-row terminal blocks inside the Solutions Kit on the DIN rail adjacent to the DXM Controller.
  3.  Wire the input of the light or interposing relay to the DXM.
