1.2 Introduction

The Report & Route Manager software is an integral part of the diagnostics and condition-based maintenance package for machinery and plants. Using this software will enable you to transmit and evaluate the vibration measurement data and process variables that you collect from all the machines in your plant asset when using VT-80 / VP-80 in the event of a problem or from regular route runs. The Report & Route Manager software simplifies organizing and evaluating the collected measurement data. You can then select the precise machines that need immediate maintenance from the machines in your plant asset. This will enable you to establish what caused the problems with the selected machines and identify the start of any damage as early as possible. Report & Route Manager is an extensive new development, i.e. the underlying software architecture is generic, highly flexible and arbitrary expandable. This state of the art software architecture is the foundation for future extensions in terms of functions, features and efficient solutions. The available VT-80 / VP-80 packages include either "ReO AB" or "ReO ABC", depending on their content of delivery. "ReO AB" or "ReO ABC" can also be ordered separately or the additional C functionality can also be purchased later on as an upgrade, which will enable "ReO ABC". In the following section you find an overview about all functions & features belonging to ReO AB respectively ReO ABC

Figure 1-1 Work sequence of a user for his application related ReO AB and ReO ABC

In the above Figure 1-1 the typical work sequence of an user in his application is related to the two software options ReO AB and ReO ABC. The general difference is, that adding C and using ReO ABC enhances the user to do systematic data collection via Route inspection where the measurements are configured within the software and a plant respectively routes are downloaded to the VT-80/VP-80 for use of VT-80/VP-80 module “6 Data Collection” According to the red highlighted boxes in Figure 1-1 the following measurement acquisition types respectively “Collection of Data” options are available

• Measurements by “Reports” belonging to ReO AB with the following VT-80/VP-80 modules ▪ Module 1.1 & 1.2 Overalls ▪ Module 2.1 & 2.2 FFT-Analyzer ▪ Module 3 Tracking ▪ Module 7 Balancing ▪ Module 9 Transfer Function ▪ Module 10 Time signal ▪ (Module 11 Acceptance Test with Report & Examiner Software)




• Measurements by “Route” & “Off-Route” belonging to ReO ABC (respectively in particular C) o “Route”

▪ Module 6 Data Collection o “Off-Route”

▪ Module 1.1 & 1.2 Overalls ▪ Module 2.1 & 2.2 FFT Analyzer ▪ Module 10 Time signal

1.4.1 ReO AB → Measurements by “Reports”

Measurements configured and run directly on the VT-80 / VP-80 device are called Report measurements – abbreviation “Reports”. These measurement results can be viewed and analyzed directly on the device and it is also possible to transfer these measurements to the PC for a more detailed examination. The option to archive such reports in a database, if needed, already exists in ReO AB. They must be assigned to a measuring point during the storage process and they will be displayed in the data hierarchy below the route measuring tasks for the relevant measuring points after completion of the storage process. The following operations on Reports are available:

1. Filtering (based on all Reports saved on the VT-80/VP-80)

2. Opening (to look at it before they are stored in the database)

3. Storeing in the database (also directly possible without opening)

Filter options Open and/or Store & Analysis of Reports

Filter type Description Overview Description

Date/Time: You can filter the reports by date or time range.

Open: You have the option to analyze the Report BEFORE you decide to store it

Report [storage media]: You can filter the reports by their storage location "internal” or “SD card”

Analyse: You simply use the view Tab “Analysis”. Furthermore you can Synchronizing diagrams or decide on different views in case of multi-channel measurements

Report [module]: You can filter the reports according to the VT-80/VP-80 module used for the measurement

Save: Store the Report in the data base via a GUI

Table 1-2 Functions handling Reports – ReO AB



EN

1.4.2 ReO ABC → ReO AB + Measurements by “Route” & “Off-Route”

Route measurements

The configuration for these measurements is made in the Report & Route manager at the measuring point level. All of the points to be measured will be compiled into a route and transferred to the measuring device. This route can then be opened in the measuring device's data collector module and be processed on a step-by-step basis. Configuring the specific measurements is no longer necessary on-site as all of the parameters that need to be set up have already been configured in the software Report & Route manager. You must download the route to the VT-80/VP-80 in order to be able to transfer the measured values made during the route run to the PC afterwards (unload). Up to 12 measurement tasks per measurement point can be configured as part of a route measurement. The measured values from these measurement tasks will be displayed directly underneath the measuring point's name after the route has been unloaded. When you have finalized the configuration in your plant in the hierarchy view, the general sequential steps of a route run are:

1. Create a new route

• It is an empty template to be filled 2. Configure the route

• by giving a name, description and setting the state (active / inactive) 3. Edit the Route

• Move, cut & insert elements or edit the properties of the route 4. Compile the Route

• By using a special GUI. Select from your Plant those elements or parts which should belong to a particular Route

5. Adapt the Route

• Within the GUI you have the option to adapt the particular Route independent of the plant structure – move, cut, delete, etc.

6. Download the Route to the VT-80/VP-80

• You are supported by the GUI and a download protocol summary 7. Perform the Route run

• You follow the Route and collect data with the VT-80/VP-80 8. Unload the Route from your VT-80/VP-80

• After the data is collected a GUI and unload protocol summary support you

Off-route measurements Further measurements called “Off-Route” from VT-80 / VP-80 modules 1.1 & 1.2 (Overalls), 2.1 & 2.2 FFT Analyzer and 10 (time signal) accessed out of VT-80 / VP-80 Module 6 are only possible in conjunction with ReO ABC. You can run an off-route measurement if, during a route run, you notice that you still have to make a measurement that you did not take into account during route creation. You can use a special device menu within the VT-80 / VP-80 Module 6 data collector to call up one of the VT-80 / VP-80 modules listed above, configure the measurement and then run it immediately afterwards. When the route is unloaded, the taken Off-Route measurements will be automatically assigned to the route measurement point that you were currently processing in your route when you have performed the Off-route measurement.

• Reports

• Route Measurements & Off Route

In addition to Fast Report Assistant basic reporting, it is a well-known requirement to create measurement protocols in a flexible and user-specific manner. Starting with simple requirements, such as the integration of your corporate logo, cover letter or company information the requirements extend to the efficient processing of recurring text passages or application-specific structures within the measurement protocols that are related to the specific applications. Furthermore, an easily editable and widely-known document format is desired, as well as a simple management of the user-specific report templates. The MS Word Protocol Expert compiles the measurement results in a Word file. It allows you to edit and present the results in a professional, total flexible and versatile way. Key properties & Features:

• Protocol Templates & Text Modules: Up to 10 text modules (for example a glossary or extensive customer information) can be designed arbitrary, saved as a text module or block template to be used in the future. Additionally, up to 10 individual protocol templates can be customized, saved as a template to be used at any time. The Microsoft Word Document Base allows for:

o There are (almost) no limits to the possible design. o Company logos or cover letters, as well as headers and footers can be defined. o The structure of every report template can be precisely adapted to the requirements

of the measurement protocols or the application. o The text modules can be of any length and their contents may be chosen flexible. If

desired, it is, for example, possible to define a text module or block that is attached to every report and comprises, for example, a total amount of 50 pages that contains complex technical drawings of the installation respectively plant.
