A DSP-based FFT-analyzer for the fault diagnosis of rotating machine based on vibration analysis

A DSP-based measurement system dedicated to the vibration analysis on rotating machines was designed and realized. Vibration signals are on-line acquired and processed to obtain a continuous monitoring of the machine status. In case of fault, the system is capable of isolating the fault with a high reliability. The paper describes in detail the approach followed to built up fault and unfault models together with the chosen hardware and software solutions. A number of tests carried out on small-size three-phase asynchronous motors highlights high promptness in detecting faults, low false alarm rate, and very good diagnostic performance.
