Remote Operation and Connectivity for ReLog

Abstract

Vibration analysis is a process that monitors the magnitude and behavior of vibra tion signals within a component or structure, to detect potential harmful vibration events and observe general condition of the system under test. ReVibe Energy has developed the ReLog vibration data logger, a measurement tool used to record vi bration and temperature with very high precision. Few customers asked for time synchronization feature on loggers since they need to keep track of time of impor tant events in different parts of a device. In this thesis we investigated possibility of implementing time synchronization protocols on ReLog. We implemented a few well-known protocols and achieved timing accuracy of 10 ms. We also implemented a number of remote operation features for ReLog which makes it more simple to use for remote applications in dangerous and inaccessible environments.
