Machine Sentry® Online

Machine Sentry® Online MSO

Flexible online condition monitoring for critical rotating equipment and static structures.

Machine Sentry® Online MSO provides continuous remote monitoring for industrial assets, supporting vibration, speed, temperature, torque, pressure, ultrasound and other measurement types. Designed for demanding applications, it helps reliability teams monitor asset condition, capture advanced diagnostic data and respond earlier to developing faults.

24/7 Online Remote MonitoringSupports continuous measurement of critical machine parameters, helping teams maintain visibility of asset condition without relying solely on manual inspections.

High-Speed Dynamic InputsIncludes 8 high-speed dynamic inputs as standard, allowing simultaneous data acquisition across key measurement channels.

Advanced Diagnostic CapabilityCapable of carrying out rotor dynamics analysis including orbit, shaft position, phase, Bode, circular TWF and more.

Certified OptionsIP67 rated, with ATEX certified options available for use in hazardous areas including Zone 1 and Zone 2 applications.

Machine Sentry Online MSO condition monitoring system

Auxiliary InputsIncludes 4 auxiliary inputs for tachometers and slow signals, supporting wider measurement flexibility across monitored assets.

4G / Wi-Fi / LAN ConfigurationsAvailable with 4G, Wi-Fi and LAN configurations, helping sites choose the most suitable connectivity route for online monitoring data.

Flexible and Intuitive InterfaceOn-board software supports advanced diagnostic capability and connects to the wider Machine Sentry® platform for long-term data storage and analysis.

Expandable SystemCan be expanded to accommodate additional sensors as required, with optional static inputs and upgrade paths for more complex monitoring needs.

What is the Machine Sentry® Online

Machine Sentry® Online MSO is a vibration and process sensor designed to detect the operating state of a machine. It can identify when equipment is stopped, starting up or running, and whether it is operating under low or high load. Alerts can be configured for each state, enabling timely response as conditions change.

As part of a condition-based maintenance strategy, data collected from Machine Sentry® Online connects securely via WiFi or GPRS to the Machine Sentry® web platform. Information can be accessed remotely by plant operators or expert AVT Reliability® engineers.

Compact in size and easy to install, MSO is designed for efficient long-term monitoring. Its low power consumption and high storage capacity make it an economical solution, while eight high-speed dynamic inputs are provided as standard for simultaneous data acquisition. An optional upgrade adds a further four static inputs, and the enclosure can be upgraded to include ATEX certification where required.

Smart Monitoring

To ensure optimal performance and minimise false alarms, Machine Sentry® Online uses advanced demodulation techniques and is configured to suit the specific condition of the equipment being monitored.

• Continuous measurement of all parameters
• Combination of multiple parameters using predefined formulas
• Measurement of energy from multiple spectral bands into a single value
• Capture of long waveforms using pre-trigger data or user-defined conditions
• Flexible data storage based on machine status, time, alarms or user-defined conditions

MSO Analysis

Advanced tools for turbomachinery

Turbomachinery has more complex requirements which are accommodated by the Machine Sentry® Online system. MSO includes advanced analysis tools to support higher-speed and variable operating conditions.

Turbomachinery tools

• Orbits display with filtering and compensation for slow roll
• Spectrum waterfall with 3D cursors
• Order tracking processing mode
• Phase analysis using Bode and Nyquist plots
• Discarding of measurements based on system instability due to changes in RPM or load

Alarm Register and Parameter Monitoring

Machine Sentry® Online MSO continually monitors the condition of machinery and registers an alarm when values change from set parameters. Alarms are logged so they can be assessed by the user to determine whether they indicate a developing machine fault.

Parameters that can be monitored

Spectral bands
RMS overall values
Peak phase values
Peak and peak-to-peak values
Peak extraction
Crest factor
Kurtosis
Mean
DC
