Here are the setup steps to help you fully utilize the "Multi-Threshold" feature of your Keyvibe!

Setting Up the Initial Threshold

Start by configuring the ON/OFF production threshold of the Keyvibe. The addition of the "Multi-Threshold" feature comes with a graphical update that simplifies interface usability, but the setup procedure remains identical to what you can find:

Setting Up the Second Threshold

Once your ON/OFF production threshold is configured, you can now set up your abnormal vibration threshold. This is an additional threshold we designed to be modular, so it can adapt to the diversity of your machines.

1. Step 1: As with the initial threshold, we recommend visualizing the production cycle of a part by clicking "Start Visualization" at the top of the screen.

2. Step 2: Once the visualization stops, click on "Production Threshold ON/OFF" at the top-right corner of your window, then select "Abnormal Vibrations" from the dropdown menu.
   
   

3. Step 3: After clicking the button, the graph will turn blue again. You then need to define the threshold values, delay, and sensitivity.

   • The threshold value depends on why you want to use an additional threshold and your expertise regarding your machine and production. Keep in mind that setting the abnormal vibration threshold too close to the ON/OFF production threshold increases the chances of false detections.

   Based on our tests, we recommend:

   • If you want to detect collisions, external shocks, or breakage: Set the threshold to a level significantly higher than the ON/OFF production threshold, with high sensitivity and low delay.
   • If you want to detect events like tool wear: Set the threshold closer to the ON/OFF production threshold, with medium sensitivity and high delay. If your vibration is stable, you can even reuse the same delay and sensitivity settings as for your production threshold but with a higher threshold value.

4. Step 4: Once the threshold is configured, click on "Manage Alerts" in the window that opens to go to your web platform and link an email alert to this threshold exceedance.
   
   

Creating an Email Alert

When setting up an email alert, you can configure several parameters:

• The name of the alert
• The interval between emails: To avoid receiving an excessive number of emails, you can choose, after the first alert email, not to receive any further emails for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour.
  After this interval, if multiple thresholds have been reached, you will receive a list of these exceedances.
• The machine(s) affected by the alert
• The recipient(s) of the email
  
  

Viewing the Alert Dashboard

Among the list of Dashboards, you will find the "Abnormal Vibrations Dashboard," which complements the abnormal vibrations email alert. It allows you to view triggered alerts on your Keyvibe in real-time.

This dashboard contains all the relevant information for monitoring abnormal vibrations:

• The name of the affected machine
• The groups the machine belongs to
• The site concerned
• The device that reported the alert (clickable, allowing you to access the machine's configuration application; you must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the machine).
• The triggering value: This is the value that exceeded the threshold. It provides an idea of the extent of the exceedance. For instance, in the case of a shock, you'll know the intensity of the shock relative to the nominal vibration threshold, or in the case of wear, you’ll be able to visually track a progressive rise in this threshold.
• The date and time of the triggering
• Whether at least one email alert has been set up or not
