Machine Sentry® Online

Machine Sentry® Online is an online condition monitoring and protection solution for measuring vibrations and process data from machinery. 

The Machine Sentry® Online system automatically detects a machines state, running, stopped, start-up, high load, low load, and establishes different alarms for each state.



Machine Sentry® Online

Machine Sentry® Online is an online condition monitoring and protection solution for measuring vibration and process data across rotating equipment such as pumps, fans, gearboxes, cranes, compressors, wind turbines,
gas and steam turbines and electric motors, as well as static assets such as bridges, platform constructions and ship hulls.

Its small size, low power consumption and high storage capability make the system easy to install, operate and maintain, while still delivering functions required by both expert analysts and plant operators, including monitoring of calculated parameters based on formulas.

Machine Sentry Online smart monitoring

Designed to accommodate real operating states, helping reduce false alarms by adapting storage and analysis
to machine condition.

Smart Monitoring

Machine Sentry Online is designed to reflect the real condition of industrial equipment by using measured states, enabling reliable alarms without over-triggering during normal operational changes.

1
Measures all parameters continuously using internal buffering.
2
Flexible data storage by time, alarm, machine status changes, or user-defined conditions.
3
Combines energy across spectral bands and supports formula-based parameters.
4
Captures long waveforms based on events, with pre-triggering options.
5
Includes advanced demodulation techniques for enhanced fault detection.
