• Optimised for wide screen displays • Information presented onboard in the Status Panel is replicated on the RDS section of ABB Fleet Portal to provide consistent notification to both offshore and onshore customer teams. • The status panel is only visible onboard for cus- tomers with Service Level 3 – RDS Prediction Condition monitoring of rotating equipment The Diagnostics for Machine (D4Machines) pack- age has been greatly improved with two main areas of development: 1. Introduction of a new data acquisition hard- ware solution for online condition monitoring of critical rotating machinery. 2.Piloting a new concept of Modular Tool – mul - ti-sensor data acquisition tool for condition monitoring of LV rotating equipment Ad (1) The online solution for condition monitor- ing of critical machinery received a new hardware platform for signals acquisition. Proven and widely tested in various industries and application, the ABB AC500 based, highly specialised data acquis- ition components have been chosen and integrated with the RDS system. With its pilot deployment onboard PGS Ramform Hyperion, the new concept proved to be fully operational. Similar to previous release of D4Machines concept, measurements from AC500 CMS system are trigged by RDS under precisely defined operating conditions to normal- ise the calculation results. Some of the raw readings and end results are automatically sent to our Ser- vice Center databases to feed periodic reports. The main highlights of the new release are as follows: • AC500 Condition Monitoring Package consist- ing of PM592 CPU and FM502 input module form new RDS data acquisition unit • The system facilitates signals collection from up to 16 I/O channels acquired simultaneously with maximum 50 kHz sampling frequency • Input channels re-configured ‘on-the-fly’ by RDS systems typically read signals from accelero- meters (IEPE) and +/− 10V voltage signal out from current clamps and voltage probes • Extendable with standard, 16-channel AI mod- ule for additional hard-wired input signals such as temperatures • Installed inside the RDS marine cabinet forms a portfolio of four different options fitted for normal and extreme condition of installation, depending on the vibration level of the machine and the installation location of the cabinet Ad (2) Year 2016 brought significant effort in further product development and market introduction of ModularTool – a cost effective hand-held solution for RDS condition monitoring of LV rotating equipment. Conceptualised and researched in previous years, the tool was suc- cessfully integrated with the RDS system in 2016. All analytics provided with the tool are deployed in the onboard RDS system and launched auto- matically each time it is connected to RDS PC. After fundamental improvements and changes in the back-end and server side functionality, in 2016 the RDS system has been subject to major modifications related to its presentation layer. In order to fulfill requirements of ‘common ABB Mar- ine Onboard User Interface’ look and feel, a totally new design of the RDS main view was introduced. ABB Marine graphical designers worked closely with system users to create a visual design that will inherit the best functionalities from the pre- vious RDS release and deploy them according to the new philosophy of user-machine interaction that is to be common for all types of onboard systems delivered from ABB (e.g. automation, voyage optimisation and diagnostics). The iter- ative process of discussions, specification and incremental implementation allowed building the new RDS UI with focus on user satisfaction and ergonomics. On the technology side, communic- ation between data server and presentation layer has been improved drastically by introducing fast and ultra-light messaging protocol. Graphical ele- ments are based on world’s best UI frameworks such as Telerik and SCICHART. Main features of new RDS User Interface are as follows: • Consistent presentation of information from the level of equipment status and analytics results through detailed alarm and event description, to the level of time series trends and high fre- quency sampled signal transients and loggers • Two different ways of aggregating information, e.g. by asset types (drives, motors, generators) and system types (e.g. portside drive train, power system, etc.) • Status Panel with three levels of drill-down navigation allows user to quickly assess the condition of monitored equipment in real time • Alarm Panel and Trend Panel with detailed alarm list and advanced plotting controls facilities fast fault tracing – a core feature for internal, ABB users of the system • Embedded roles-based mechanism governs presentation of certain information only to privileged users • No software engineering required to redesign the content of Status, Alarm and Trend panels — DIGITAL PRODUCT PG ABB Ability™ Marine Remote Diagnostic System Release 5.2 Software and hardware technology upgrade, new functionality, simplified commissioning, scalable infrastructure for IT service centres. — New RDS UI JAROSLAW NOWAK Global Product Specialist, Equipment Analytics, PG Service [email protected] YAGO PARRONDO R&D Product Manager [email protected] — Condition monitoring -F1 -TA1 06 06 156 GENERATIONS TECHNICAL INSIGHT 157
