  • Page 20: Planning The Mesh Network

    Planning the Mesh Network 3.3.1 Overview It is important to plan the mesh network before the actual on-site installation. The layout of the operational environment area defines where the individual sensors and gateways need to be placed. Therefore, it is important to plan the entire mesh network layout before deployment so that all data from the sensors can be transmitted smoothly to the backend.

  • Page 21: Placement Of Devices And Optimal Layout

    Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions BKV Wireless Sensor Solution 3.3.3 Placement of Devices and Optimal Layout 3.3.3.1 Installation Sequence of the Devices Based on the operational environment area, you can determine the locations of the sensors. They must be installed in the places where they will collect data. From this starting point, you can plan where to place the gateways and sensors that only work as routing sensors.
  • Page 22 3.3.3.3 Short Routes The data from each sensor should be able to reach the gateway by the shortest route. The longer the routing chain, the more data is transferred through sensors closer to the gateway. This can lead to data congestion and high battery consumption. Figure 3-2) Short routes 3.3.3.4 Gateway to Sensor Ratio...
  • Page 23 Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions BKV Wireless Sensor Solution 3.3.3.5 Gap Bridging If the gateway and sensors are too far apart for efficient data transmission, place one or more routing sensors between them to transmit data from one sensor to the other. Avoid layouts where one sensor routes traffic from multiple other sensors.

  • Page 24: Impact Of Routing Large Data On Mesh Network Performance

    3.3.4 Impact of Routing Large Data on Mesh Network Performance An important factor when designing the layout for a mesh network is the amount of data that will be transmitted through the mesh network to the gateway. In general, we distinguish between the following data: •...

  • Page 25: Positioning Of The Gateway

    Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions BKV Wireless Sensor Solution Positioning of the Gateway Also refer to 3.3 Planning the Mesh Network. The following guidelines apply to the positioning of the gateways to ensure adequate data transmission: • Mount and install the gateway in a central position in the area of the installed sensors so that as many sensors as possible are directly within its operating range.

  • Page 26: Positioning Of The Sensors

    Positioning of the Sensors Also refer to 3.3 Planning the Mesh Network and 7.2.2 Mounting the Sensors. When mounting the sensors to a monitored equipment, it is important to consider the location of the sensor and the contact between the sensor and the machine. The best location to attach the sensor depends on the machine and the monitored vibration source.

  • Page 27: Delivery, Transport And Storage

  • Page 75 Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions BKV Wireless Sensor Solution 7.2.2.7 Installation without Adapter For this installation method, the sensor is directly attached to the machine surface. This minimizes the vibration transmission route for best measurement quality. Installation without an adapter requires a flat surface of 32 mm (1.26 in) diameter, and a hole for an M8 bolt with 18.5 mm (0.73 in) depth of threading.

  • Page 76: Aligning The Sensor

    7.2.3 Aligning the Sensor For accurate interpretation of the measurement data, the centerline of the sensor is often aligned with the shaft of the rotating machine. This can be done by manually aligning the sensor with the shaft. Manual alignment requires using the epoxy or glue mount adapter. After applying the fixative and hand tightening the sensor to the machine, align the sensor axis directly toward drive or non-drive end of monitored machine.
