 Why does typical maintenance problems at applications
with bearings happen????
Lack of lubricants
Unbalance
Misalignment of shafts
Wrong reconditioning timing
Low bearing quality
ServiceWe have always done it!
What results from this?
Unexpected shutdown and production downtime!!!
High costs for downtime and stock for spare parts
Bad quality and rejects
To avoid this, Mitsubishi Electric developed

 Spezification SmartCheck

Common information
 Specification SmartCheck

Typical speed band: 50 15.000 rpm

Appication area: -20 C -- +70 C (-4 - +158 F) , IP67
Others: 24VDC, Ethernet TCP/IP, Web-Server, SLMP Protocol
 Functions FAG SmartCheck

Smart check supports two substantial functions at

the test specimen

Vibration sensor functions

Evaluation over Fourier analysis
Implementation of know-how in Smart checks for direct status
information without specialized knowledge
Integration of load, achievement, frequency and amplitude and
the temperature

Temperature measurement at the test specimen

Admission of the current temperature at the test specimen
Also for temperatures more highly than 70 C
 Vibration Monitoring
Delivers good information about the machine condition
Recognize failure and damages in an early stage
Specially fit for recognizing:
- Bearing damages
- Imbalance, misalignment, wracking
- Gear damages (gear wheel)
- lack of lubricant *; cavitation at pumps*; phase
failure (~3Ph), resonance frequency detection*
and as well good for: b
a

Quality control for machine builder during delivery

e.g. Bearing damage at start-up by transport can be detected,
because it was measured before delivery!
* Additional analyses needed
 Openess
Visualization and Analyse

The data can be monitored and analysed

The following is possible:
Visualization with MAPS SCADA, FAG SmartVisu
or other SCADA Products
Software Tools via MES-IT or OPC
ERP/MES connection via MES-IT or OPC
Analyse, Alarm and Reporting
Different end user devices

The communication between the SmartCheck sensors, PLC
and GOT is via Ethernet
using the MC Protocol, TCP port 1280. The following IP
addresses are defined:
PLC (factory default): 192.168.3.39
GOT (factory default): 192.168.3.18
Smartcheck sensors: 192.168.3.100 to 192.168.3.104

 SCM delivers
Delivers Online-Information about the Status and Conditions
and stores the data historical in the SmartCheck and the
internal intelligence reduces the number of sensors.

Information from SmartCheck will be delivered over

Ethernet TCP/IP with SLMP Protocol to the Controller and
then analyzed and send to the next level systems (DB,
SCADA or Terminal GOT).

Information's include the following

1. Status (OK, Pre-Alarm, Main-Alarm and Ethernet-
Communication error)
2. Diagnostic (Bearing failure, Leak of Lubricants, Un-
balance or not defined error (deeper analysis necessary via
SmartWeb or SmartUtility Software).

Possible failure and damages are detected at an early stage

and the service is so predicable. Up to 4 month in advance!
