PROTOR Vibration Condition Monitoring System Installed in Three Thermal Power Plants in Spain for Iberdrola
IBERDROLA has launched a renewal plan for the existing condition monitoring systems in their plants in Spain. This plan will be implemented gradually and PROSIG was selected to install their PROTOR Vibration Condition Monitoring System in three IBERDROLA power stations. The contract was awarded to PROSIG in partnership with Aries Ingeniería y Sistemas, who are PROSIG’s representative in Spain.
PROSIG have already successfully commissioned and installed the PROTOR system in the Lada (Asturias, Spain) and the Pasajes (Guipúzcoa, Spain) power plants. The work primarily consists of the supply, installation and signal cabling of the PROTOR systems together with training of the IBERDROLA staff. PROSIG will complete the third installation at the Velilla power plant, located in Palencia, Spain in September 2010.
45th UK Conference on Human Response to Vibration
The annual UK Human Response to Vibration Conference will be held this year at The Institute of Naval Medicine, Alverstoke, Gosport, UK and will run from 6-8 September 2010. The conference provides a forum for exchange of information, dissemination of research findings and an opportunity to be updated in current issues related to human responses to vibration. Presented papers cover all aspects of hand-transmitted vibration, whole-body vibration and motion sickness.
Prosig to exhibit at Tenth International Conference on Recent Advances in Structural Dynamics (RASD)
Prosig are delighted to have been invited to attend the 10th International Conference on Recent Advances in Structural Dynamics (RASD) to be held at The Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at Southampton University on 12th – 14th July 2010.
Prosig engineers will be on hand to demonstrate the P8000 range of 24-bit data acquisition systems and the DATS software including some of the specialist add-ons including Modal Analysis, Structural Animation and Hammer Impact Testing.
Prosig have a long relationship with the ISVR with many staff, both past and present, having worked or studied there and so Prosig are very pleased to have been invited to exhibit at the conference.
Prosig Announce New Braking Analysis Tools
Prosig are pleased to announce the launch of two new tools to assist engineers in the measurement and analysis of noise and vibration issues in braking systems.
Controlling noise and vibration from brakes is crucial to subjective customer satisfaction and problems of this type are one of the biggest contributors to warranty costs. Therefore, it is important to be able to accurately and quickly measure and analyze the various phenomena that can cause problems. In addition to all the standard NVH & Refinement tools that Prosig provide, there are now two specific products to address the needs of braking engineers.

Noise & Vibration Capture with GPS Tracking
The latest version of the CAN-bus/GPS (8440) module is now available for the Prosig P8012, P8020 and P8048 systems. The CAN-bus/GPS module has been in use in the field for some time now, recording CAN-bus information for display and analysis alongside noise, vibration, temperature and other signals captured by P8000 systems. The DATS software treats all analog and CAN-bus parameters in the same way so any mixture of parameters can be selected for display in real-time and subsequent processing. CAN-bus parameters can also be used to trigger immediate and pre-triggered captures and to stop captures.
The 8440 module now has an option to capture GPS parameters in addition to the other signals. The data capture software now also supports a realtime GPS track overlayed on a map. Velocity and altitude data measured by the GPS system can also be displayed alongside any other measurement channels in realtime displays. The latitude, longitude, altitude and velocity data is stored with with all the other sensor data captured by the P8000 system and is available to view and process in the resulting datasets. These signals can then be used to classify or select data for further analysis. For example you could choose to process data when the vehicle is on a particular road or a particular section of the track, or if you find an unusual event use the GPS data to give a position and time or the event.
Prosig launch new PROLOG data acquisition controller
Prosig have welcomed 2010 with the official launch of their PROLOG data acquisition controller.
PROLOG is a controller that will allow remote, unattended or standalone operation of a P8000 system. In normal operation a P8000 data acquisition system is connected to a laptop or PC and data is stored, in real-time, on the computers hard drive via the USB 2.0 interface. This configuration provides a robust, high speed data capture environment. However, there are situations where it is not practical to keep the laptop connected. In some cases the environment may be suitable for the P8000 unit, but not for some of the more fragile components in a laptop. In other situations it may be desirable to have the measurement system in one location, whilst the operator may be positioned some distance away. The PROLOG unit is designed to address both of these requirements.
Prosig Power Units Offer New Levels Of Flexibility
The size and shape of the Prosig P8000 data acquisition systems greatly facilitates installation in locations that are small or difficult to access. Now Prosig can offer a new level…
Updated Protor System For Ringhals, Sweden
Prosig installed a PROTOR system at the Ringhals1 reactor in Sweden in 1992. This system was based on the PROTOR2 level of hardware and software and consisted of a Sun workstation and PC based acquisition system. The system has been successfully monitoring the two main turbine generators ever since. Last month Prosig upgraded this system to their latest PROTOR4 hardware and software.
The system now consists of a high-end rack-mount server PC containing RAID, hot-swap disks, dual high-speed Ethernet LANs and redundant power supplies together with two 32-channel 4700 data acquisition units.
The system is connected into the station alarm system so that control room staff are automatically alerted on vibration alarms. The system is fully integrated within the Ringhals network for data archiving, remote access and data transfer with the plant computer.
