ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for detecting problems in a rotating machine is disclosed. The method and apparatus include creating a definition of the rotating machine using a plurality of templates that specify components and functional characteristics of the components. In addition, the method and apparatus include identifying a plurality of sensors configured to provide operational data related to the rotating machine and defining a plurality of problem rules including logical expressions by which machine faults are deduced from specified portions of the operational data. Further, the method and apparatus include performing an analysis of operation of the rotating machine, the analysis including acquiring actual operational data from the plurality of sensors and applying the problem rules and templates to the operational data to detect faults in the rotating machine and in response thereto generating an indication when a fault is detected.
