Introduction to AMS Machinery Manager
Class # ATC-2068; Taught on customer site class #ATC-2068CS
This course is for the new user who wants to learn how to incorporate AMS Machinery Manager software into their maintenance process. Students learn various methods of database creation, including the RBMwizard program. A basic understanding of vibration analysis and functionality of the 2120 RBMconsultant or 2130 Machinery Analyzer will be advantageous. Students learn vital features of route creation such as collecting reference data, analyzer/computer communication, and the basic concepts of Analysis Parameter Sets, Alarm Limit Sets, and Fault Frequency Sets. Students will use a machinery analyzer to load routes and collect data on lab machinery for some basic vibration analysis using Export and Diagnostic Plotting software. Successful course completion will allow the student to develop a database used to collect meaningful data from the start.

Prerequisites: Computer experience with the Windows operating system and Basic Vibration is recommended.

Topics:

  • Equipment configuration using RBMwizard software
  • Machine duplication
  • Route creation
  • Basic diagnostic plot options
  • Introduction to reporting techniques using RBMview software
  • More Information

Taking the Mystery Out of PeakVue Technology
Class # ATC-2035
This course is taught by expert vibration consultants who provide training on the advanced functionality of Emerson’s patented PeakVue technology. Learn how the autocorrelation coefficient function works and become familiar with the properties of microscopic vibration stress waves. This course uses case studies from real-life examples of common faults and live demonstrations, illustrating specific mounting procedures to reliably detect certain faults. The difference between PeakVue techniques and demodulation will also be demonstrated.

Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with vibration data collection and analysis techniques and have used AMS Machinery Manager.

Topics covered include:

  • Proper PeakVue set-ups for all speeds (as low as 1 rpm)
  • Sensor selection and sensor mounting
  • Setting alarm levels
  • Choosing trend parameters
  • Analyzing PeakVue spectra and waveforms
  • Using and understanding the autocorrelation coefficient function
  • Uses of the circular waveform plot

Basic MotorView
Class # ATC - 2037
The MotorView course uses labs and case histories to demonstrate the functionality of the MotorView program in determining rotor bar defects using current and flux data with a focus on the theoretical concepts of motor diagnostics. This is a 2-day training class.
 
Electric Motor Diagnostics and Basic MotorView
Class # ATC – 2081
These two individual courses can be combined for discount pricing.
 
OilView for AMS Machinery Manager
Class # ATC-2083
This course is designed for individuals using the OilView instruments to collect on-site oil analysis data. The course is designed for new as well as experienced OilView users who wish to take advantage of the more advance features of the AMS Machinery Manager software. This course teaches the student database creation and modification, creation and modification of Analysis Parameter and Alarm Limit Sets, how to setup and configure the OilView software module, calibration and use of the all OilView instruments, including the 5200 Trivector Analyzer, for analyzing oil samples on-site, data interpretation, and basic reporting.
