CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A CONDITION OF A BEARING UNIT FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

A condition monitoring system (CMS) for vehicle bearing units, including at least one condition monitoring unit (CMU) for measuring at least one operating parameter of one bearing unit and a control unit for receiving and processing signals from the CMU. The control unit is configured to activate/deactivate the CMU(s) upon reaching at least one predetermined waypoint stored in a waypoint memory of the control unit. The CMS can be equipped with a waypoint setting unit for setting the at least one waypoint at which the CMU(s) shall be activated/deactivated and to store the waypoint in the waypoint memory. The waypoint setting unit processes route data includes data on at least a curviness of at least one route intended for vehicle travel. The processing includes extracting at least one route section within the curviness of the route within a predetermined range and setting the waypoint(s) within the extracted route section.

1. A condition monitoring system for bearing units for a vehicle, the system comprising:
at least one condition monitoring unit for measuring at least one operating parameter of one bearing unit; a control unit for receiving and processing signals obtained from the condition monitoring unit; and a waypoint setting unit for setting the at least one waypoint at which the at least one condition monitoring unit shall be at least one of activated and deactivated and storing the waypoint in the waypoint memory, wherein the control unit is configured to at least one of activate and deactivate the at least one condition monitoring unit upon reaching at least one predetermined waypoint stored in a waypoint memory of the control unit, wherein the waypoint setting unit is configured to process route data including data on at least a curviness of at least one route on which the vehicle is intended to travel, the processing of route data including extracting at least one route section within which the curviness of the route is in a predetermined range and setting the at least one waypoint within the extracted route section.
