Distributed embedded condition monitoring systems based on OSA-CBM standard

This paper presents an approach to distributed condition monitoring systems that offers reusable software for a class of condition monitoring (CM) applications. The focus is on an open software framework for development of CM applications stemming from 1) OSA-CBM specification, which is a standard promoting interoperability, and 2) a component framework that enables reuse, configuration and rapid deployment. The framework is developed using Java and RMI middleware, and its application is demonstrated through a distributed gearbox CM system. The approach provides software enabled capability to distribute the CM data process across the hardware platforms to meet the given system configuration.

► Instantiation of OSA-CBM standard
► Solving interoperability through OSA-CBM standardized interface and data model
► A software frame work for rapid prototyping OSA-CBM compliant applications
