Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) by Crystal Instruments is designed for the remote monitoring of equipment or structures that are inaccessible to configure within a local network. Common applications and examples of remote condition monitoring include the monitoring of vibrations during the transportation of equipment, monitoring vibrations on bridges and structures close to rails or roadways, and monitoring vibrations caused by rotating windmills on the ground. The type and intensity of these vibrations can potentially cause a multitude of problems; from damaged equipment during transportation to structural damages on a bridge. Continuous monitoring with auto alarms and notifications assists in monitoring the health while also providing alerts to unusual and potentially catastrophic behavior on systems or structures. Crystal Instruments has developed EDM - Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) to extend the capabilities of Dynamic Signal Analysis (DSA). The integration of these features with the Spider platform achieves reliable results in monitoring remote equipment and devices. When operating in EDM-RCM mode, multiple Spider front-ends featuring any channel count can be remotely mounted and connected through a mobile wireless gateway using cellular data connectivity. Each Spider system is accessible through EDM-RCM software by using a Static Public IP address with a connected modem. The use of a Static Public IP address with the modem ensures remote connectivity across the world.
