Using the BEAROMOS sensor signal, the BEAROMOS Recorder software visualises the status of the
monitored bearing(s) for the Seebeck effect (described in section 3) and the evaluation algorithm by
the software. This visualisation and the speed recorded by the BEAROMOS sensor are used to make
a
statement about the state of bearing operation: hydrodynamic friction or mixed friction. This state
is
visualised by a barchart (Figure 10: Main view) and by the average value over time (Figure 11:
Chart view). The event horizon of the Chart view (x-axis) can be scaled step by step, and is max.
60 min. The
transition from mixed friction to hydrodynamic friction is determined by a sliding
threshold value and a sensitivity that can be configured. The last transition from hydrodynamic
friction to mixed friction is
recorded with date, time, duration and revolution speed.
An LED indicates that the PC software is communicating correctly with the BEAROMOS sensor.
The
Sensor Fault LED indicates any failure of the BEAROMOS sensor sliding contacts. If the
indicator is
flashing, at least one of the sliding contacts is worn out and is no longer in contact with
the slip ring.
There is a button to print the current screen for both the Main screen and the Chart screen. The
content of the Chart screen can also be exported to a CSV file using separate buttons.
A freely editable (editable under the Parameter view) field is provided so that the software can
be
associated with the test object. All data in this field is kept when the software is restarted.
At runtime, the Parameter view allows you to edit the freely editable field, to select the COM port of
the RS485 adapter that is used, to set the save path for the log file and data and to configure the
sensitivity. The current software version is also displayed on this tile.
The window is 800 x 600 pixels. The software provides support for using the BEAROMOS sensor.
