Whether your test is carried on a gear box, an integrally geared compressor or any other multi-shaft rotating machinery, NVGate offers now the possibility to carry 3 simultaneous order tracking analysis at a time both in online and office mode. Measuring vibrations on multi-shaft machines such as gear boxes may require positioning several tachometer sensors. NVGate 2022 features an extension of the ratio for the Fractional tach feature up to a 100. The PV diagram allows to draw the Pressure vs the Volume directly when using the NVGate software interface. The PV diagram is a new add-on available. ORBIGate keeps progressing as well bringing new features. In particular the dedicated rotor dynamics solution can now be used on daisy chained systems as NVGate.

Ergonomics.png Enhanced ERGONOMICS : Save more clicks and push teams efficiency to the limits

Experience the enhanced field ergonomics and intuivity thanks to the optimized new Ribbon Tabs and application-oriented default settings. NVGate 2022 bring settings and displays at your fingertips in less clicks.

The interface gathers the analyzers functionalities in simple, clear and easy to identify tabs organized according to the main operations (Home, Acquisition, Analysis, Data, Display, Report, Automation, Preferences).


Tab: new icone disposition

Key features have been emphasized by interface, guiding the users to the best way using their OROS 3-Series analyzer. The software entries are organized in a logical operation way. There are 8 different tabs corresponding to the main operations type:


Home

Home3.PNG


The goal of the Home tab is to make a user friendly tab for doing a measurement. You can load a project, create a setup (using the "go to results" group), start an acquisition, see your data, the disk space and change the user. In fact for a lot of every day application you can stay on this tab, no need to check the other one.


we have also highlighted the Attachement function Home attachment 2022.PNG on this tab.


Attachment: Enables to quickly identify if files (reports, pictures, videos....) are attached to the current project. Click on this button to create and/or open the attachment folder. Note: if the "Default project" is active, the Attachment button is greyed.

Home attachment 2022.PNG The Attachment folder of the current project is empty or does not exist.
Home attachment file 2022.PNG File(s) are located in the Attachment folder of the current project.


Acquisition

This tab provides all the necessary entries to setup the front-end and the use of any channels in details. It separates the acquisition channels setup from the outputs, triggering, tachometer, and filters ones.

Analysis

In this tab, the software gathers the front-end, recorder and analyses controls. Each icon corresponds to a plug-in analyzer. The content of this tab depends on the purchased optional plug-ins.
Analysis3.PNG

Data

This tab provides functions to deal all your data, transfer Projects, Measurements, Models, export and import your data, filter the Project Manager. Data3.PNG

Display

This tab covers the results display control. It allows creating, fulfilling, arranging and viewing the windows and layouts. It controls the scale, units, weighting and data operations of any graphs, manages the waterfalls and extraction graphs and the markers.

Display3.PNG

The display tab has been entirely thought and improved with NVGate 2022. Some functions have been highlighted : freeze, zoom, add layout. The mouse mode has been also improved (cursor, marker, zoom, move, rotate). One mode can now be selected in one click. Also now the default mouse mode will always be the cursor mode, so if you unselect a mode it will go back directly to the cursor mode.

Preferences

This tab provides direct access to the user’s definition, user's preferences and sensor database.

Preference3.PNG

Post analysis button on status bar

PA Status.png

On the status bar you have now a direct access to the "online to post analysis" mode.


|Home online to PA.PNG | Online to Post-analysis: This button is used to switch from Online mode to Post-analysis mode. This will open the Select Signal window which lists all the recorded signals available. The selected signal will be then playback and can be re-injected into any plug-in analyzer (Monitor, FFT, 1/n Octave...). It is also possible to play back a recorded signal through the Output during Online analysis.

See player page for more details.

Automation

The Automation tab contains powerful and helpful tools to automate repetitive tasks made with the analyzers. Automation.PNG

Go to results: one click icons

New "one click" function have been added on the go to results for more user friendliness.

  • Viwe recording.PNGview recording: will open the signal monitoring window on top of the current layout. In the case of this window is already open in another layout, it swaps to this layout.
  • Add layout.PNG Add Layout: Creates a new layout. A dialog box used to name the new layout is displayed by clicking on the button. A new tab is created and selected, corresponding to the new layout.
  • Waterfall settings.PNG Opens the waterfall triggering dialog. This dialog allows selecting the trigger of by the waterfall plug-in (only available on profile and waterfall tab).

RPM buttons create automatic events

Auto rpm.PNG The RPM button has now beeing entierly redesigned. Apply this button will automatically put the waterfall trigger on delta RPM or periodic. This will make the setup of NVGate much more easier for a rotating or run up aplication. (only available on profile or waterfall tab)


In details this button will :

  • Create a Delta RPM event, source = the one activated in the "Tach.". Delta velocity : 10 RPM.
  • Create a Periodic event (0.5 sec)
  • Create a Combined event 1. mode: "Delta RPM OR Periodic 1"
  • Set waterfall Trigger to Combined event
  • Create of an RPM event (source = the one activated in the tach field)

New default settings

The default settings in NVGate have been updated to the ones below. With these default settings, you can do rotating analysis measurement directly. Be aware that if you load an exiting project, the settings will not be affected. You can also easily change these settings.

FFT Overlap: 66%

FFT Overall low freq : 2 Hz


SOA resolution: 1/8

SOA overlap: 5

SOA OVL lower order: 0.2


Event Delta RPM: Delta velocity 10 rpm

Waterfall Depth: 1000

Tachometer/RPM Profiles/Duration: 120 sec

New units available

Unit.PNG New units have been added:

Angular velocity: Hertz

Pressure: Pascal and Bar

Torsionnal velocity: RPM

FracTach.png Measure all your shafts with 1 tach sensor: virtual tach gear ratio to 100

Reports Tools Ribbons 356.png: Fractional tachometer: computes RPM speed for a non accessible shaft by using gear ratio setting: adapted for gear boxes and transmissions. The ratio can now be set up to 100! (it used to be 2).

-> Used to define up to 4 fractional tachs using data from the tach or the Ext Tach.


Tacho ratio.png

  • Tach ratio: this is the ratio between the output angular speed and the input angular speed. This setting is defined by the product of 2 fractions: N1/D1 * N2/D2 where N1, D1, N2 and D2 are integer values. Tach.1 / Tach.2 ratio maximum value can be set up to 100.

PV.png Display the Pressure Volume diagram (PV) of your Reciprocating machines

A pressure–volume diagram (or PV diagram, or volume–pressure loop) is used to describe corresponding changes in volume and pressure in a system.


Indicator diagram steam admission.png


The diagram records the pressure of steam versus the volume of steam in a cylinder, throughout a piston's cycle of motion in a steam engine. The diagram enables calculation of the work performed and thus can provide a measure of the power produced by the engine.

To exactly calculate the work done by the system it is necessary to calculate the integral of the pressure with respect to volume. One can often quickly calculate this using the PV diagram as it is simply the area enclosed by the cycle.


Download: Check the PV diagram page

How to use :

PVdiagram2022.PNG

  • Define one (or more) channel as a pressure.
  • Add this channel into Sync. order (SOA) plug in.
  • On SOA plug in , average, domain, select: "Angular"
  • Open PV_Diagram.exe
  • Click on refresh (right click) in available results if you do not see anything.
  • Select the input.
