NVA-RM is engineered for condition monitoring, vibration diagnostics, and advanced acoustic analysis. The suite integrates:

• High-frequency multi-sensor acquisition

• Real-Time and post-process analysis

• Advanced alarm and anomaly detection

• Industrial integration for automated test environments

The system is suitable for test rooms, critical rotating assets, and industrial applications requiring maximum reliability and diagnostic depth.

Supported Platforms

NVA RM is compatible with several NI hardware families:

• NI cDAQ multi-channel systems

• NI cRIO Real-Time systems

• NI PXI high-performance multi-channel systems

Supported Sensors

Depending on the chosen hardware configuration, NVA RM can manage virtually any industrial transducer, including:

• Accelerometers

• Velocimeters

• Eddy current probes

• Key-Phasor sensors

• RTDs and Thermocouples

• Strain-gage sensors, load cells, torsional sensors

• Any extensometric-based transducer

Transducer and Channel Setup

A dedicated setup interface allows complete definition of:

• Transducer characteristics

• Scaling and engineering units

• Filters, integrations, and conditioning

• Acquisition and logging parameters

The system can send and receive metrics, calculated parameters, and alarms through:

• CAN Bus

• MODBUS

• OPC UA

Alarm and warning states can also be managed via digital I/O, enabling immediate interaction with PLCs or supervisory systems.

Advanced monitoring functions include:

• Configurable thresholds and limit values

• Spectral masks for real-time anomaly recognition

• Overall level monitoring on predefined frequency bands

A dedicated Real-Time Synoptic displays:

• Overall levels for all channels

• Status of alarms and warnings

• System and machine operating condition

• Time-Domain Measurements

  • RMS

  • Peak-to-Peak

  • AC+DC

  • DC Level

  • Real-time filtering and integration

  Spectral Analysis

  • FFT with automatic DC component compensation

  • Overall calculation on user-defined frequency bands

  • Spectral mask comparison for anomaly detection

  Order Analysis

  • Order tracking with amplitude and phase

  • Tachometer-based phase reference

  • Synchro Mode for cases with indirect tachometer reference

  • Order trends over time (up to four orders)

  Acoustic Analysis

  • 1/3-octave analysis for microphone sensors

  Orbit Analysis (Eddy Current Sensors)

  • Orbit visualization (raw or order-based)

The post-processing module expands analysis capabilities with:

• Polar plots for order analysis

• Center Shaft Curve to evaluate shaft centerline shift

• 3D Waterfall and Sonogram displays (Time/RPM or Frequency/Orders)

• Full Spectrum analysis (Forward/Reverse components)

• Calculation of bearing characteristic frequencies based on construction parameters and speed

The software provides two recording formats, both of which can be active simultaneously:

1. Continuous Recording – BIN Format

• High-frequency uninterrupted data logging

• Ideal for detailed post-test analysis

2. Interval Recording – LOG Format

• Data stored at predefined time intervals

• Ideal for long-duration monitoring (hours or days)

Recording Trigger Modes

• Manual activation by the operator

• After a predefined time from acquisition start

• Within a specific RPM range

• When a parameter exceeds a configured threshold

A programmable reporting module allows the operator to:

• Select metrics and analyses per channel

• Generate layouts with one, two, or four graphs

• Combine plots from different channels

• Produce structured diagnostic reports automatically
