Bently Nevada vbOnline Pro Quick Start Guide

vbOnline Pro
Fact Sheet

The vbOnline Pro provides automated, user-scheduled monitoring of
an asset’s health. It is a exible and scalable system fully supported
by the next evolution of BHGE’s System 1* condition monitoring and
diagnostics software. The system assists in the early detection of
machinery and process problems. The vbOnline Pro provides economic
vibration monitoring for mid- and low-level criticality assets. The device
is easy to install and congure.

Machinery Applications

vbOnline Pro is an ideal solution for
REB (roller element bearing) machines
with case mounted seismic sensors,
including:

• Agitators

• Air Compressors

• Ball mills

• Blowers

• Centrifuges

• Cooling tower fans and pumps

• Motors

• Small Reciprocating Compressors

• Small hydro & steam turbines

Hardware Key Features

The vbOnline Pro enables strategic, data-driven maintenance planning and decision making to
optimize asset reliability. The key features and benets include:

• Compact and easy to install

• Simultaneous 12-channel data sampling

• Support for use with single PC or network

• Wired Ethernet connection

• 24-bit A/D conversion

• State based data storage and alarming

• Supports 2 wire IEPE/ICP accelerometers

• Multiple user congurable waveforms and
types per channel

• Congurable set points with alarming
and events

Software Key Features

The vbOnline Pro and System 1 software complement your predictive maintenance program by
performing cost eective data collection and condition monitoring analysis.

System 1 software is the core of GE’s Bently Nevada* condition monitoring solution.
It is an innovative approach to provide users with a single ecosystem for plant-wide
machinery management.

Capability

System 1 provides scale when it comes to
database management, diagnostics, and
work prioritization.

• High resolution trends and alarming

• Short-term “black box” ight recorder for
trend data

• Anti-friction rolling element bearings

• Diagnostic reporting

User Experience

Modern consumer software applications have
pushed the envelope when it comes to user
experience; we believe the same expectations
apply for industrial CM applications.

• Modern and intuitive interface

• Continuous user involvement

• User-driven CM and diagnostic workows

Accessibility

Successful condition monitoring programs require collaboration between
departments and controlled access to the tools.

• Distributed client/server deployment model

• Shared software platform with Scout data collector

• User security proles
