How profiles work

Measurement profiles define how the Treon Industrial Node X collects, processes, and sends data. By using profiles, you control when measurements are taken, what is measured, and how often data is sent to Treon Connect.

A profile combines triggers, measurements, and calculations into a single configuration that runs automatically on the device.

Treon Industrial Node X operating loop

Treon Industrial Node X supports multiple ways to trigger measurements.

1. Trigger

   • A measurement is triggered by a timer, an event, a command, or a wake-up condition.

2. Measurement

   • The node samples sensor data up to 10 seconds.

3. Calculation

   • Key values (such as Velocity RMS) are calculated locally on the node.

4. Transmission

   • Results are sent wirelessly to the Treon Gateway via the Wirepas mesh.
   • The Treon Gateway forwards the data to Treon Connect via the gateway’s network connection.

1. Triggers

Triggers define when a measurement is started.

Timers

• Periodic measurement every X minutes
• Real-Time Clock (RTC) measurements at specific times

On-demand

Measurements can be triggered manually from Treon Connect:

1. In your Treon Connect instance, navigate to the Condition menu.
2. Navigate to the Group, the Asset and then choose the Device you want to trigger.
3. In the Device’s page, click MEASURE NOW on the top-left side.
4. Wait for the measurement to be triggered and the sensor data to come back.

Wake-up

Wake‑up allows the device to monitor machine activity using a low‑power secondary accelerometer and start measurements only when vibration (or temperature) exceeds a threshold.

Typical use cases:

• Machines that operate in short or irregular bursts.
• Avoiding measurements when the machine is off.

Key Wake-up settings:

• Wake-up threshold
• Action delay (avoids startup transients)
• Blanking time (cool-down period between wake-ups)

Please note:

• The secondary accelerometer has limited sampling rate.
• Only suitable for low-frequency detection.
• Not directly comparable with main accelerometer results.
• Wake-up can also be triggered by temperature.

2. Measurements

Measurement settings define how raw data is captured.

They include:

• Measurement axis (triaxial or single axis)
• Sample count (measurement length)
• Acceleration range (G-range)

How to choose the right G‑Range:

• The default G-range is 4 G.
• Use a G-range high enough to avoid clipping.
• Lower G-range gives better amplitude resolution.

How to check for clipping:

• Monitor the Acceleration Z2P KPI.
• If the values approach the range limits, increase the G-range.

3. Calculations

Calculations determine what information is extracted from the measured signal.

Calculation settings define:

• Calculation type (Velocity RMS, FFT, etc.).
• Filter frequency ranges.
• Advanced options such as:
  • Decimation
  • FFT overlap

KPIs are lightweight and suitable for frequent monitoring, while FFTs and waveforms provide deeper diagnostic insight.

How often to measure

In the default configuration the Treon Industrial Node X measures:

• KPIs: hourly.
• FFT: every 6 hours.

Best practice:

• Use KPIs as an early-warning system.
• Use FFTs for deeper diagnostics after anomalies are detected.

Example use cases

Machines with sporadic operation time

• Enable Wake-up.
• Set action delay to skip the asset’s startup time.
• Use blanking time like timers
• Recommended settings are:
  • KPI: every 1 hour.
  • FFT: every 6 hours.

Machines running continuously (e.g. 8 h/day)

• The Default profile fits most use cases.
• Avoid wake-up monitoring during off-hours to reduce battery drain.
• Wake-up is especially useful if hourly FFTs are required only during operation times.
