2nd Overview, functional description
The SKF
Lubrication Remote Monitor
(LRM2) is a cost-effective solution for moni-
toring lubricant pumps in difficult-to-access
areas.
The LRM2 (2G/3G, UMTS/HSPA) monitors
SKF lubrication pumps that have not been
connected to monitoring systems of ma-
chine or equipment control units. The LRM2
can also be used as a telecommunications
module.
It has two digital inputs and two digital out-
puts. The inputs can be used individually as
monitoring signals.
Typically, the fill level signal “Reservoir pre-
warning min.” as well as fault notifications
(distributor errors) are monitored.
An output signal can also be controlled us-
ing the Global System for Mobile Commu-
nications (GSM). An output signal is typically
used to start the triggering of an interim
lubrication.
In case of an empty signal or another lubri-
cation problem, the LRM2 will inform the
maintenance staff by SMS or by e-mail, de-
pending on the configuration. The notifica-
tion is sent to one or more cellular phones.
The information can thus be processed in
time and countermeasures can be initiated.
The data can optionally be transferred
through the process control level at the
customer. This requires only an LRM2 and a
cellular phone.
The status is configured and displayed via a
Web server built into the LRM2 that permits
free access to the Web interface and local
devices through a secure and simple VPN
connection in all networks.
A Monitoring app specially aligned to moni-
toring the pump is created using the server.
After starting the LRM2 and starting the
installation app, set the basic data such as
PIN, PUK, and telephone number(s).
2.4 Functional description
The SKF Lubrication Remote Monitor, which
is maintanence-free, operates continuously;
it can be programmed so that after a pre-
defined interval it automatically sends
a status report for the pump being moni-
tored by SMS or forwards the data over the
Internet to a customer’s Condition Monitor-
ing Cloud that, for example, visualizes the
incoming values and processes alarms or
events.
SKF recommends enabling the SMS setting.
The alarm and restore
messages are registered with time and date.
Most existing SKF lubrication pumps can
retrofitted with the LRM2. Contact SKF Ser-
vice for this.
