System Overview

Hardware and Network Requirements

Hardware and Network Requirements
The primary hardware and network components include:
Host computer with DataController software – The DataController application is a
Windows service that facilitates collection of data from SKF Multilog WVTs and makes
the vibration waveform data available to SKF @ptitude Analyst.
Predictive Maintenance computer with SKF @ptitude Analyst software – Host and
Predictive Maintenance computers can be the same computer. Refer to the SKF
@ptitude Analyst documentation for the recommended requirements for your version.
Wireless Device Manager (WDM) – The Wireless Device Manager hosts the gateway,
system manager and security manager components as defined by ISA100.11a
standards. It manages the wireless field instrument network and all wireless field
devices, including ISA100.11a field instruments, FDAPs and any wired field devices with
an ISA100.11a adapter. It authenticates the provisioning data with which a field device
tries to join the network. Refer to the user manual for your WDM for details on setting
up these network devices. The WDM requires firmware OneWireless OW220.3-02.0
release or later. The same desktop or laptop running DataController may be used to
access the WDM's web page user interface through a browser.
Field Device Access Point (FDAP) – The FDAP is an industrial meshing access point for
field instruments and rated for use in hazardous plant environments.
SKF Multilog On-line System WVT, CMWA 7910 (called the "SKF Multilog WVT" in
this user manual) – Provides 4-channel dual input, combination vibration and
temperature measurements, and tachometer input for machine speed measurement.
Integrated digital display shows the latest overall measurements for all four channels
and remaining battery life with the push of a button.
CMSS 2350T-D2 sensors and cables (four in starter kit CMWA 7910-SK). - Note that
these unique sensors, and only these sensors, are required for the SKF Multilog WVT.
Provisioning Device (optional) – If over-the-air provisioning is not used, a provisioning
device will be required for providing the SKF Multilog WVT with security keys from the
WDM. The provisioning device is a handheld PDA unit with an Infrared Data Association
(IrDA) port that communicates with the IrDA port on the SKF Multilog WVT unit. Your
OneWireless network must be available for the SKF Multilog WVTs to join after they are
provisioned.
Communication
The SKF Multilog WVT contains a radio module which is in permanent communication
with the ISA100.11a wireless network. The radio board is compliant with European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) EN 300 328 v 1.8.1. The software in
the host computer controls each SKF Multilog WVT with a set of commands. In addition,
the network manager in the WDM maintains "housekeeping" communication with all the
devices in the network to optimize the network performance.
