•
Enable the XML Export in the
Plant
tab.
•
Right-click on the gateway in Device Manager and perform a
Find sensors
command again. The replaced sensor’s status indicator will now return to green in
the Device Manager.
•
The status of the replaced sensor in Analyst should return to enable (green).
•
Perform a
Collect Waveforms
command on the replacement sensor, and then
verify the measurements are correctly collected at the corresponding sensor in
Analyst.

Relocating an Existing Sensor in Service
When a working sensor is moved from one motor to a different motor, the
measurements from each motor should be kept separately in different machines in
Analyst.
Commissioning Network Available
The sensor can be moved to a commissioning network to be renamed for the new
location and then re-
join the production network.
This allows Device Manager to create
a new machine for the same sensor in Analyst while keeping the old machine in the
disabled state. Just by changing the Long Tag of the sensor, we can now use the same
sensor to monitor a different motor and keep the measurements from each motor
under separate machines in Analyst.
No Commissioning Network
The Technical Service Group (TSG) will use the Long Tag Editor utility instead to replace
the commissioning network when relocating a sensor to monitor a different motor as
described above. The Long Tag Editor utility enables you to change a sensor’s Long Tag
on the fly while the sensor is still connecting to the production network.
