Shaft absolute vibration
PROCESSING MODES AND APPLICATIONS
(2) Block diagram
As shown in Figure 7-6, shaft absolute vibration is a dual-channel processing function where
absolute shaft displacement (output from BBAB processing) is added to relative shaft
displacement (output from RS processing).
NOTE: The MPC4 card performs shaft absolute vibration processing synchronously in
real-time, using the raw waveform signals from the two processing functions
(BBAB and RS) with digital integration only (not analogue integration).
