  • Patent number: 10008052
    Abstract: A monitoring system for a machine having database, a memory storing first instructions, and a controller configured to execute the first instructions. The controller may be configured to receive a first input including selection of a sensor associated with a component of the machine, and a second input specifying a machine state, defining a first operating condition associated with the component. The controller may also be configured to receive a third input specifying generation of a component parameter based on a measurement from the sensor, and a fourth input specifying a fault condition associated with at least one of the measurement and the component parameter. The controller may generate a rule-set, including second instructions based on the first input, the second input, the third input, and the fourth input. The controller may also store the rule-set in the database.

  • Patent number: 9984182
    Abstract: A model generation system for a machine having a database, a memory to store instructions, and a controller configured to execute the instructions to generate a plurality of interrelated data tables. The data tables may have a sensor table having a sensor row including sensor attributes, a calculation table having a calculation row including calculation attributes associated with a measurement from the sensor, and a fault indicator table including fault indicator attributes based on the measurement or the calculation. The controller may highlight the sensor row using a first color when the sensor table includes a tag identifier associated with the sensor, and highlight the sensor row using a second color when the sensor table does not include the tag identifier. The controller may display the highlighted sensor table on a display device and store the data tables in the database.
