Requirements for modern CMS

Modern state supervision systems make the highest demands for the sensor element, to the data change, to the signal processing, and forwarding and finally to the (semi-) automatic data processing (analysis and diagnosis). Specific knowledge is necessary in particular for the data processing to the complicated, multidimensional (tension) of state of the system to be supervised. If this exists, it also offers the biggest potential for the cost saving, because the life span of critical machine elements can be used practically completely and at the same time necessary repair measures can be included in the plan in vote with the production plan.

Today by the development such of the modern state supervision systems one already uses knowledge and technologies from the areas of the continuum mechanics, the acoustics, the system theory, the electronics and the informatics. By modern arrangements and systems the number of the sensors and with it the number rises with rising complexity also always on a real-time basis and very often in parallel with processing signals of the most different origin.

A challenge of the present exists in the development, production and integration of suitable sensor elements to be able to take up the respective tension state directly in the wear or damage zones. The challenges of state supervision systems can be summarized as follows:

• the derivation / derivation more expressively physical parameter (state dimensions) for the description of the degradation or the loss of life span performance the interesting (part) components and systems,
•  the search for suitable measuring points (local integration for the capture on top defined parameter, interaction of the sensors together etc.),

• the specific use of signal analysis and pattern recognition,
• the data flood and signal processing on a real-time basis or event-driven.
