Surveillance of Pump Vibrations Using a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System

Mohamed Najeh Lakhoua

Abstract


In most industrial applications implying some rotating machines, the surveillance of vibrations occupies a major role in the setting of machine surveillance. Indeed, the surveillance of vibrations normally makes while combining measures of absolute vibrations of landings or we present an application of a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) to a system of vibratory surveillance of pumps in a thermal power plant. Thus, the functionality of a supervisory system for real time processes is presented. Then we present the concepts of a SCADA system. The paper briefly discusses the different steps of this application and some advantages of SCADA systems used in thermal power plants.
