2.5.12 System commissioning and security
System commissioning and troubleshooting is supported by the SKF Multilog IMx
Manager, software. This is an SKF app for both Android and iOS devices and is
available from the relevant app store. The app provides features to manage and
configure the IMx system and to visualise measurement data:
•
Perform network configuration tasks.
•
Select and download site specific machine templates.
•
Create stand-alone measurement configurations. See also
•
Viewer; shows live data with bar charts, trends, time waveform and FFT.
Note: Viewer works in stand-alone mode only.
•
View measurement configuration, as made via the @ptitude Observer client.
•
Run a SAT (Site Acceptance Test) based on the installed sensors by using
live charts and plots and generate a SAT Report with the relevant
information.
•
Generate a report that shows general IMx information, current IMx network
and Modbus configuration including the company and user details.
•
Update the IMx firmware.
To login to the app and access an IMx system, potential users must be invited to be
users for that specific company*, (*in practice this may mean company, operating
division, location/site, etc., depending on how registration is organised).
When a company first uses an IMx system, SKF will provide one or more user admin
accounts to that company. Such admins will have sufficient rights, be aware of the
procedure and be responsible for onboarding further company users via the SKF
Enlight Centre, user management system. When onboarded in this way, an invitation
email will be sent to allow the user to set up a password for their new account. If the
invitation is received on a mobile phone where the SKF Multilog IMx Manager app is
already installed it will open so as to complete the process, in-app.
In the first instance therefore, responsibility for providing new users with system
access lies with the company’s designated user admins. In case of
difficulty or to
initially setup a company user admin account, companies should contact their local
SKF sales office or SKF Application Engineer, for assistance.
