SWANtech product solutions include the SWANguard™,
SWANview™ software and the SWANserver™. SWANtech also offers
two types of SWAN
sensors™ that are specially designed to operate with SWAN products in
a wide variety of applications and with special mountings for high-temperature
operating environments. SWANtech has also specifically tailored industry-specific
and application-specific solutions: SWANmarine™, SWANplant™, SWANwind™;
and SWANpowergen™.
- SWANguard™ -
is the intelligent condition monitoring module that is the basis for all
measurements and data acquisition. The SWANguard continuously monitors the
connected stress wave sensors and calculates the corresponding stress wave
energy and peak amplitude values. Using SWANtech's patented Stress
Wave Analysis (SWAN) technology, the SWANguard provides superior
accuracy in detecting faults, providing a degree of resolution
into machine dynamics previously unattainable using traditional
diagnostic methods. Sensors are connected to a SWANguard data
acquisition unit that can support between 2 and 24 sensors, in a
package suitable for your environment, including Class I, Div
I/II areas. It is designed to
be seamlessly integrated into existing plant management and
control systems or to be used in stand-alone applications.
. The SWANguard supports an industry standard MODBUS communications
interface through EIA-232, EIA-485 or Ethernet and is also
available in various wireless configurations. Data is extracted from the SWANguard for viewing
via a variety of standard communication links. Wireless spread
spectrum radio, WiFi, fiber optic, Ethernet and cellular communications are
also supported for applications where conventional wiring
is costly or impractical.
- SWANview™ -
: Is the base line decision support monitoring software that
enables the user to view and trend all sensors and external
process measurements (i.e. RPM) tied to the SWANguard units.
This can be via the dedicated SWANserver or via the integration
into a customers existing distributed control system (DCS),
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, or
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based system. In these
applications the SWANguard data is easily transferred by the SWANserver and configured as a
measurement input for display within these other systems. Incorporated as part
of SWANview is a highly scalable, standards-based networked
system offering remote monitoring and diagnostics across a
local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the
Internet. It enables operators or equipment manufacturers
to assess the condition of machinery and isolate faults in
large, remotely located, or unmanned facilities. It provides
for equipment monitoring and management - either plant- or
enterprise-wide - from a central location.
SWANview provides
comprehensive analysis tools for easy diagnostic and assessment
purposes. FFT, Histogram and Operating History are part of
the tool set. Operational and environmental parameters can be trended and correlated with Stress Wave values for asset and operational optimization.
- SWANserver™ - SWANserver
is a highly scalable, standards-based networked web server offering
remote monitoring and diagnostics across a local area network
(LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the Internet. It enables
operators or equipment manufacturers to assess the condition
of machinery and isolate faults in large, remotely located,
or unmanned facilities. SWANserver provides for equipment
monitoring and management - either plant- or enterprise-wide
- from a central location, and web based information access. The SWANserver can be configured to receive process measurements in real time and correlate them with stress wave readings. When asset conditions change the SWAnserver can automatically dispatch email notifiations and alerts.
- Condition Monitoring & Advisory
Center/CMAC - This service allows
a customer to have SWANtech host the application to
monitor, report on, and diagnose & assess a customers
sensor points. The standard SWANview
software is used to perform this service. Customers
that sign up for these services are provided a user
ID and pass code to access their information via our
web site. The information and display presentation provided
is unique to their vertical market. Customer are charged
on a per sensor basis and based on the level of service
they require.
FLEETserver or ENTERPRISEserver For clients with SWAN monitoring
systems implemented at multiple locations, who want to have a centralized,
real-time monitoring facility, SWANtech can provide a central server that
collects data from all of their on-site SWANservers and offers this data to
corporate personnel using web access.
- SWANsensors™ - Are
highly sensitive devices, specifically designed to detect
friction/shock induced stress waves occurring at ultrasonic
frequencies within industrial machinery and process devices.
Two types of SWANtech Sensors have been designed to work with
the SWAN product suite in the delivery of state-of-the-art
predictive maintenance solutions. SWANtech sensors, Standard
and Two-Pin are highly sensitive devices that utilize a proprietary
piezoelectric sensing element and contain integrated signal
condition electronics with the sensor body. Their small sizes
and available external mounting options that include stud,
bolt-on, and epoxy, enable attachment to almost any type of
machine surface in any type of operating environment.
