Choose the best profile for your deployment

Selecting the right measurement profile helps ensure you get useful diagnostic data without unnecessary battery use. While the default profile works well for most deployments, machine speed and operating characteristics can significantly affect which measurements and settings provide the best results.

This guide explains how to choose Treon Industrial Node X settings based on deployment requirements.

What settings fit my assets?

When selecting measurement settings, the most important considerations are:

• What is the highest frequency of interest?
• What is the spectrum resolution (spacing between FFT lines)?

To simplify selection, recommendations are grouped into three machine categories based on rotational speed:

• 1. Machines operating under 120 rpm (2 Hz)
• 2. Machines operating between 120–600 rpm (2–10 Hz)
• 3. Machines operating over 600 rpm (10 Hz)

General rule:
Measurements should capture at least 5 full revolutions of the machine shaft.

Example:
A machine running at 25 Hz requires a minimum measurement length of:

    1 / 25 \* 5 = 0.2 seconds

1. Machines operating under 120 rpm (2 Hz)

Slower machines require longer sample times to collect enough vibration data. This provides much higher FFT resolution than default settings.

General guidance:

• Use measurements with higher sample counts.
• Use lower filter cut-offs.
• Enable Measurements XXXX.
• Disable Measurements YYYYY.

2. Machines operating between 120 and 600 rpm (2–10 Hz)

Similar principles apply for this category as for slower machines.

General guidance:

• Enable Measurements XXXX.
• Disable Measurements YYYYY.

3. Machines operating higher than 600 rpm (10 Hz)

These machines typically require fewer changes.

• Default settings are usually optimal.
• You may disable unneeded measurements (for example Measurement Y) to save battery.

Summary

Choosing the right measurement profile is a key step in getting meaningful and reliable condition monitoring data from Treon Industrial Node X. While the default profile is suitable for most machines, adjusting profiles based on machine speed and operating behavior can significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and data usefulness.

As a best practice, start with the default profile, ensure that measurements capture enough machine revolutions, and make targeted adjustments only when needed. This approach helps maintain a good balance between data quality, fault detection capability, and battery life—while keeping deployment and maintenance simple.
