AMS-RBMware Demonstration/Simulation Setup Instructions

The following instructions will walk you through setting up the required AMS-RBMware demonstration/Simulation directories and files.

Requirements: AMS must already be installed and licensed for the “CSI RBMware interface”. The “CSI RBMware Interface” requires Windows NT.

1. Double click on the provided file “RBMware.exe”, the following pop-upwindow will appear:

2. Click on the “Unzip” button, this will create the directory path “C:\RBMsuite\CustData” and will extract required files. Once files are unzipped, click “OK” and close the WinZip Self-extractor dialog.

The directory “CustData” contains the following 3 items:

“Example.mdb”: This is the RBMware database.

“DBLookUp.mdb”: This is the RBMware reference database.

“rbm.exe”: This is the RBMware application graphic.

Note: If the RBMware.exe file was copied from a CD, you may need to take the “read-only” attribute off of the extracted files and directories. Select all the files in the C:\RBMsuite\CustData directory by choosing

the ‘Edit’ menu and selecting ‘Select All’ from the menu options. Next choose ‘File’ then ‘Properties’ from the menu options. If the

‘Read-Only’ box is checked, click on it to remove the checkmark.

3. Run the AMS Network application from the control panel, select "Add", highlight the “CSI RBMware interface” and click on the install button.

Browse to the following path “C:\RBMsuite\CustData\” for the “RBMware Directory UNC” field.Click on the “Finish” button.

5. The CSI RBMware tree will now appear in the AMS explore and device connection views when AMS is started. Practice traversing the tree.By choosing Launch in any of the right-mouse context menus, a window depicting RBMware will appear. This is a static screen and can be closed at any time by select the upper right "X" in the window title bar. This simulation has three screens that highlight detail information about themotor tag "CWP#1". The first screen shows the Status-at-a-Glance view within RBMware. This view is similar to the view in AMS. The next screen shows the case history of the event "Machine now shows signs of misalignment".The final screen has an Infrared photo of the motor along with trend data.Use this demonstration to generate more interest in the integration of field Instruments with rotating equipment from a single view. For a more detailed demonstration of the RBMware product, contact the localCSI salesperson or representative.
