Diagnosis and analysis
Robust analytical and diagnostic capabilities
that are easy to use
SKF @ptitude Analyst continues to deliver class leading functionality
by incorporating innovations such as derived functions, CTA (Cyclic
Time Average) overlay, and HAL (Harmonic Activity Locator) analysis
to its users (CTA and HAL are SKF patented algorithms).
SKF @ptitude Analyst supports many standard graphs and com-
bination graphs that quickly visualize problem areas. Graph overlays
provide cursor functions to obtain special information such as fre-
quency band details, average and standard deviation values, skew or
kurtosis. Frequency analysis overlays can be used for spectrum
graphs to quickly identify common bearing or other fault source fre-
quencies. Implementation of HAL provides harmonic series recogni-
tion whereby impact failures are recognized and prioritized by likeli- The CTA overlay enhances time waveform analysis when diagnosing
hood. broken gear teeth.
In some cases, the actual stream of information is not directly
acquired but rather must be computed based on a combination of
acquired values. Therefore, SKF @ptitude Analyst supports Derived
Points, which act like virtual data collection points computed by a
user programmable macro that operates on any other data stream. Enhanced alarm view saves valuable time
For example, you may calculate potential savings from air leaks in a Alarm View window displays all points that require immediate atten-

Scalability through application add-ons
Feature and deployment scalability
SKF @ptitude Analyst software is configured using license keys.
These keys automatically activate or add new functionality to the
base application, hence the name “add-on”. Additionally, three differ-
ent base applications are available: SKF @ptitude Inspector primarily
used for Operator Driven Reliability (ODR), SKF @ptitude Analyst for
SKF Microlog Analyzer, and SKF @ptitude Analyst, the flagship appli-
cation of the SKF @ptitude Monitoring Suite.
The SKF @ptitude Analyst software can be deployed as a stand
alone application on a single workstation or as a fully networked,
distributed application whereby data storage and business logic is
kept on separate application servers to help ensure high speed and
availability.
SKF @ptitude Analyst software fully supports virtualization
through environments such as Citrix or Microsoft Windows Server Orbit graph with synchronized X, Y channel time waveforms.
2008. These environments allow SKF @ptitude Analyst to be
installed and published onto an enterprise system from a centralized
location. Data connections can be made through the virtualization
environment or through Thin Client Transfer, which provides fast and
secure network connectivity.

SKF @ptitude Analyst features embedded ARM functionality to

down event. Transient events may be displayed in live or trend (his-
torical) mode using the following graphs:

• The Topology graph illustrates a series of spectra (similar to

Campbell plots) using a user-defined color scheme to easily visu-
alize amplitude peaks. This graph also features vector compensa-
tion.
• The Bode graph with Damping Cursor is a dual plot consisting of
phase and amplitude as a function of rotational speed. The damp-
ing cursor enables you to identify resonance information at critical
speed when performing transient event analysis.
• The Nyquist graph plots the shaft’s movement during a transient
event and is similar to a Bode graph but using polar notation. This
graph also features vector compensation and optional rotational
speed labels.
• The Cascade graph plots data over running speed and features
data filtering options for optimal event presentation. Analysis and Reporting Module transfer function – Frequency Response
Function (FRF) plot.

Operator Driven Reliability
Operator Driven Reliability (ODR), the framework for organizing an
operator’s activities, is key to an organization’s reliability program.
Being in close proximity to the machines 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, operators are often the first to notice even the smallest
changes in machine condition.
To help you develop your ODR programme, SKF offers Mainte-
nance Strategy Review services that will evaluate your facility and
systems, determine asset criticality, and formulate a maintenance
strategy. Using the SKF Asset Management Support Tool (AMST),
SKF can analyze your plant’s dominant failure modes and the signifi-
cant effect of those failures. AMST can then further recommend
inspections and assign job tasks and actions for optimal asset effi-
ciency. Once a maintenance strategy review has been performed
using AMST, the data can be directly transferred to SKF @ptitude
Inspector software and used to create your plant’s asset hierarchy
and operator inspection rounds. SKF Machine Condition Detector

Access and security
SKF @ptitude Analyst permits access on a
customized basis, yet allows the effective
exchange of detailed information across
functional departments.

Advanced security system

protects data
SKF @ptitude Analyst enables security
through the use of security roles. A security
role is comprised of many individual security
levels that control access rights to data,
viewing, reporting, graphing, and more.
Assigning users a security role instantly
defines the access rights for that user.
Changing the security role definition updates
the access rights for all assigned users; this
is a time-savings feature when managing
several users. SKF @ptitude Analyst comes Personalized access rights allow the software administrator to protect against errors and enable

tion and digital images. Additionally, the Exception, Overdue/Noncompliant, History, Route Statistics, and others.
Report Manager allows you to maintain a
history of reports, and pre-configure report
