What is sensor in SAP PM-PDM-VA - Vibration Analysis?

SAP Term: sensor

• Component: PM-PDM-VA

• Component Name: Vibration Analysis

• Description: A device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be pressure, temperature, or anyone of a great number of other environmental phenomena. The output is generally a signal that is converted to human-readable display at the sensor location or transmitted electronically over a network for reading or further processing.

• Key Concepts: 
  A sensor is a device used to measure physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, and acceleration. In the context of SAP PM-PDM-VA Vibration Analysis, sensors are used to measure the vibration of a machine or component in order to detect any potential problems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Sensors can be connected to a machine or component in order to measure its vibration. The data collected by the sensors can then be analyzed using SAP PM-PDM-VA Vibration Analysis software in order to detect any potential problems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When installing sensors, it is important to ensure that they are properly calibrated and that they are placed in the correct location on the machine or component. This will ensure that accurate data is collected and that any potential problems can be detected quickly. 
  
  Related Information: 
  SAP PM-PDM-VA Vibration Analysis software can also be used to analyze data from other types of sensors such as accelerometers and strain gauges. This data can then be used to detect any potential problems with a machine or component.
