The latest feature we developed, Zones follow Alarms, will be added to Condence on 11/04/23! As the name would suggest, now, just by adding alarm levels in Condence, you can have your colour-coded trend metric windows visible. There is no more necessity to publish Zone configurations separately.

If you have two or more alarms overlapping, you may select what Zones you want to view.

The old way of making Zone configurations is not going away. Zones follow alarms is an alternative way to make Zone configurations.

We expect this feature to make using Condence easier and more efficient. Want to learn more? Please get in touch with us at operations@distence.fi.

The Point of Interest feature was just released! With Points of Interest, you can insert manual notes to the Lifeline feature and share information more easily with other users with access to the same device level. This includes, for example:

• Health condition status
• Suggestions
• Planning actions
• Performing actions

On the Device Manager, there have been a few general improvements to better the user experience when using the Device Manager. This includes for example more options for IEPE RPM sources.

The forecast has been renewed and now offers more precise predictions and forecasting suggestions. Using the forecast tool remains the same as it did before, but the predictions given are more accurate.

If you have questions related to this feature, please get in touch with operations@distence.fi.

The Forecast tool used in the Monitoring view has been improved. The Forecast now uses a longer time period and makes the calculations based on the already existing data, thus improving the predictions for the metrics. This improvement is expected to give more insight to the professionals to determine the correct timing for service.

Due to the global component shortage we unfortunately need remove the support for the PT100(RTD) channel support from the T200 and T210 terminals until further notice.

Based on the currently available information the required components are available again from May 2023 onwards.

If you are a user of T200 or T210 and you absolutely need the temperature measurement support, please contact your sales contact.

Distence has released a powerful new feature, Lifeline.

With the Lifeline feature, you are able to get visualised highlights on the events your device is likely to encounter. The Lifeline uses algorithms based on the condition of the device and usage of the device. When combining these together, we are able to make highly complex calculations, and give you the ability to see future predictions even easier than before. Lifeline is usable with alarms, time-to-service features etc.

Contact Distence, operations@distence.fi, for more information regarding the Lifeline feature and see how our latest feature will help you maintain your machinery better than ever before.

Distence has released a Modbus configuration possibility to the Device Manager. You can make your Modbus configurations in the measurements section like any other measurement are done.

It is possible to choose either RTU or TCP configurations.

Additional instructions to be released at a later time to support.condence.io.

If you have additional questions, please contact operations@distence.fi for more info!

Distence has released a Health Index feature for public usage. This feature is available to use right away.

With the Health Index feature, we are providing you with more freedom on how to express the data shown on your monitoring view.

For example, if you want to know if the bearing is beginning to wear out, you may add several bearing measurements into one metric that will show the overall health of said bearing. You will also keep your detailed metrics about BPFO, BPFI, etc. The Health Index is an additional feature that you can use as an addition to previous measurements.

The previous example is just the tip of the iceberg with the Health Index, as the Health Index does not limit to just the overall health of metrics.

The Health Index gives you a full range to use with your mathematic formulas on what to calculate in the Health Index feature. Should you wish to add more complicated formulas, that is possible with the Health index.

Distence will release additional information on how to set up measurements with the Health Index will be released at a later time. Contact us for further info, and I hope you will find your way to use this powerful new feature!
