Safety Guidelines
This document contains notices which you should observe to ensure your own personal safety as well as to avoid property damage. The
notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring to property damage only
have no safety alert symbol
Danger
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution
Used with the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
Notice
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potential situation which, if not avoided, may result in an undesirable result or
state.
When several danger levels apply, the notices of the highest level (lower number) are always displayed. If a notice refers to personal
damages with the safety alert symbol, then another notice may be added warning of property damage.

3 Installation
3.1 Project Configurator
As preparation for a new X-Tools project the delivered zip files CMS Project Configurator and CM Library
have to be extracted. After the zip files are extracted and the corresponding folders are copied or moved to the
desired place at the hard disc, two additional folders have to be created or chosen for the Project and Offline
Data Location. If the ISB Data Exchange shall be activated, another folder has to be created or chosen for the
ISB Offline Data Location. Afterwards the X-Tools Server (XTS) and X-Tools Client (XTC) have to be started.
Once the XTS and XTC are started, the CMS Project Configurator and CM Library have to be added as Loca-
tion Type Configuration Files. These two Configuration Files Locations coheres and contain all template files
which are needed to create a new X-Tools project. Following this the Project and Offline Data Location have to
be added. Locations with type of Configuration Files are added via the context menu of the Files within any
Subsystem (DME, MTE, ANE, and STE). Locations with type of X-Tools Offline Data Files are added via the
context menu of the server symbol within the Offline Data Loader (ODL) of X-Tools.
Further settings are done within the CMS X-Tools Project Configurator. In order to start a new X-Tools pro-
ject the Monitoring View Project Configurator has to be opened.
Figure 1: Project Configurator startup Monitoring View
English
Release 2017-09 13 / 137
The following two steps need to be processed.
Figure 2: Project Configurator startup Monitoring View (steps)

During the first step all necessary Device Profiles and / or Interface Profiles for data acquisition have to be
created and configured properly within the Project Location as well as any Analyzing Model / Analyzing Script
which generates required online data.
Once all required online data are present the CMS X-Tools Project Configurator is started by clicking onto the
Start Project Configurator button which then turns into green and the Main Window opens.
Notice
In case the X-Tools Service is configured to start the X-Tools Server before a user logs into windows and the X-Tools Project Configu-
rator wants to be used, the to be used windows user for the service configuration has to be set to the same windows user starting the X-
Tools Project Configurator. This can be done by the service configuration dialog of windows within the tab “Log On”.

4 Product Characteristics
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 What is CMS X-Tools?
CMS X-Tools is a cost-effective, modular, PC-based measurement system, which has been specially optimized
to perform reactionless measurement of analog, binary and numerical signals in industrial plants. It consists out
of a PC-based software (CMS X-Tools) and various types of measurement devices (IONs, IFNs and CTNs)
With a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz, even highly dynamic processes and occurrences can be recorded with
high resolution. The system is used as a portable and/or installed unit in the fields of research & development,
testing, error tracking and production.
Input and output signals are handled by individual devices. To accommodate a higher number of signals, basi-
cally up to 62 devices can be networked over the IEEE1394 bus system and can be connected to any PC, lap-
top or server with an IEEE1394 interface.
Despite the considerable features of the system, an experienced technician, with no prior knowledge about
CMS X-Tools, can carry out measurements within a very short period of time. Simple measurement tasks, such
as paperless recording of plant signals or fault recording, are quickly and effectively carried out.
For higher sophisticated measurements, such as remote service & maintenance or condition monitoring, a high
level of graphical configuration and parameterization is possible within CMS X-Tools. In addition, the powerful
trigger machine and the analyzing engine enable the user to perform more extensive measurement tasks.
The following topics provide a short overview about the functionalities of the main parts of the CMS X-Tools
software.
For detailed information about CMS X-Tools please refer to the documentation delivered with CMS X-Tools
4.1.2 What is CMS X-Tools Project Configurator?
The CMS X-Tools Project Configurator is a tool which simplifies the engineering process of X-Tools Project
Locations. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is called directly out of X-Tools which allows building up a custom-
ized plant tree according to the plant configuration. After one or more Measuring Point(s) has (have) been cre-
ated within the plant tree, multiple Measuring Tasks can be easily inserted and parameterized. The parameteri-
zation of a Measuring Task is stored in a Parameter Group Setup for an enhanced and efficient engineering.
Once the engineering is done, all necessary X-Tools Configuration Files (CFs) are automatically created by the
CMS Project Configurator and the X-Tools Project Location is ready to be started.
The following figure shows in simplified terms the engineering work flow only with X-Tools.

4.3 Operating State Group
An Operating State Group represents a complete drive train but also a single machine component such as a
motor, gearbox or pump. Therefore an Operating State Group consists out of a certain number of Measuring
Points which belongs to the same Operating States (conditions).
Each Measuring Point has to be assigned to a specific Operating State Group. Within one Operating State
Group up to 60 Operating States can be set up. Each Operating State is configured independently in relation
with up to three signals. All assigned signals (Measuring Points) within an Operating State Group are recorded
time synchronous according to the defined Operating States. Furthermore the analysis is done sequentially
(sequence of signal processing is Measuring Task related -> one signal after another) and the results are stored
Operating State Group and Operating State related.
Multiple Operating State Groups can be created in order to cover asset specific and independent analysis tasks.
Due to this an Operating State Group has always to be created at first. This is done via the menu bar Settings ->
Operating State Groups -> New.

Release 2017-09 23 / 137
Figure 14: Operating State Group – wizard

Within the wizard of the Operating State Group a name for the group has to be typed in as well as the Record
time of the rawdataset for all subsequent offline Measurement Tasks
Below the section Operating State Conditions a Sample Rate (internal Cycle Time of the parent Analyzing Mod-
els) has to be chosen, which shall be used to acquire up to three signals for the Operating State detection.
These signals are chosen within the table X-Tools Data Name and can be enabled or disabled for all configured
Operating States.
The following two tables of the section Operating States are intended to set up the Operating States. An Operat-
ing State is added by clicking onto the Add button and can be removed again by clicking onto the Remove but-
ton. The signals which have been chosen for the Operating State detection appear within the left table column
Condition. The columns Lower and Upper Border are used to determine the range the signal has to stay in to
fulfill an Operating State. The right table is intended to describe the Operating State by Name and to set up a
Validation Time [s]. Data recording is not started before the validation time has exceeded and the signals stayed
inside the determined range during that time. If an Operating State discontinuity has been detected, the data
recording is interrupted and discarded. All Operating States can be enabled or disabled independently from
each other.
English
Release 2017-09 24 / 137
For each Operating State Group specific properties have to be set up. This is done via the menu bar Properties.
Figure 15: Operating State Group – wizard Properties

The Analysis Sequence Interval determines the waiting time between each analysis. The data processing (anal-
ysis sequence) is initiated by the detection of a valid Operating State by which the rawdata recording is trig-
gered.
The Spectra Storage Interval determines the time which has to be elapsed before new spectra data are stored
(only if a spectra Measuring Task is configured). This interval has no effect to any configured alarm band. Ampli-
tude trends are stored during each analysis sequence.

REMARK
Analyzing Script Files can only be modified by authorized Siemens engineers.
The X-Tools Location CMS Project Configurator provides functionalities in regards to data acquisition, pro-
cessing and storage. In order to cover a wide range of requirements specific standard settings have been cho-
sen in regards to the templates (Device Profiles, Monitoring Views, Analyzing Models, Analyzing Scripts and
Storage Profiles) which are used for the creation of a X-Tools Project Location.
For certain reasons it may be required to adjust some of these standard settings because they do not match to
the general framework of the given project application. In order not to modify these standard templates, Custom
Templates can be created and used for the creation of the Project Location.
This can be done via the menu bar Settings -> Project -> Custom Templates.
Figure 40: Main Window – menu bar Settings Project Advanced Custom Templates
If there were no Custom Templates created yet, the first step is to create Custom Templates based on the
standard templates which then can be modified within the X-Tools Location CMS Project Configurator after-
wards. This has to be done via the menu bar Settings -> Project -> Advanced -> Custom Templates -> Create.
By clicking onto Create the following window comes up showing the Configuration Progress. During this time no
actions shall be taken by the user.

4.7.2.2 Parameter Calculation
By means of the Parameter Calculation tool specific input parameters for spectra and orbit calculations can be
verified. The intention is to type in the desired set-parameters and based on that to verify whether an output
result can be generated or not. This can be done via the menu bar Tools -> Parameter Calculation.
The following figure shows example parameter verification for frequency spectra.
Figure 49: Main Window – menu bar Tools Parameter Calculation

In addition the resolution of a digitized signal can be calculated via the tab Resolution. The resulting resolution is
based on the resolution of the given A/D converter and its measuring range and is very useful for determining
the minimum amplitude levels of a spectrum which can be resolved properly.
A parameter verification can be also done directly out of the Analyzing Package wizard. Each Measuring Task
provides an icon which opens the corresponding calculation help. For example, when setting up the parame-
ters for a frequency based acceleration spectrum the following calculation help opens.

4.9.1.3 Parameter Group
Each Measuring Task wizard of an Analyzing Package provides a certain number of specific input parameters.
These parameters have to be filled in appropriate and are stored afterwards in a Measuring Task related Pa-
rameter Group. Once a Measuring Task has been configured completely, a Parameter Group Name has to be
chosen. The Parameter Group is stored by clicking onto the Save button and shows up then in the drop-down
menu below Load existing Parameter Group.
Figure 71: General wizard settings – Parameter Group

One and the same Measuring Task can be applied multiple times to a Measuring Point using different parame-
ters which have been defined by several Parameter Groups. Therefore multiple configurations can be created
and stored accordingly using a different Parameter Group Name.
The created Parameter Group(s) can be assigned to further Measuring Points of one and the same Analyzing
Package and its Measuring Task(s). A Parameter Group can be loaded by clicking onto the Load button after it
has been chosen via the drop-down menu, which automatically fills in all required parameters of the Measuring
Task wizard.

4.9.1.4 Operating State dependent parameters and calculations
All parameters for offline Measuring Tasks can be individually configured according to the Operating State(s).
Specific Measuring Tasks (General Classification, Vibration Characteristic Values, Vibration Spectra and Vi-
bration Spectra Order) provide several calculations. For instance Vibration Characteristic Values, the calcula-
tions which shall be performed can be enabled and disabled according to the Operating States. This can be
done by checking or unchecking the corresponding checkboxes (RMS Acceleration, RMS Velocity, Crest Fac-
tor, Pk Acceleration and Pk Velocity).
Figure 72: General wizard settings – Operating State dependent parameters (several calculations)
All other offline Measuring Tasks which only provide one calculation allow enabling or disabling the calculation
according to the Operating State(s). This can be done by checking or unchecking the checkbox Enable Calcula-
tion.
Figure 73: General wizard settings – Operating State dependent parameters (single calculation)
If parameters and to be performed calculations shall be the same for all Operating States, the checkbox right to

4.9.1.5 Filter settling time
A delay time for subsequent calculations can be enabled in order to prevent wrong calculations caused by vari-
ous preceded filter functions.
The checkbox to enable the filter settling time is found below Parameters for each provided calculation.
Figure 74: General wizard settings – Filter settling time

For offline Measuring Tasks it is highly recommended to enable the filter settling time. 3 s is a proper value for
lower cutoff frequencies down to 2 Hz. It has to be considered that the appropriate filter settling time for cutoff
frequencies below 2 Hz can increase exponential.
4.9.1.6 Limit check
The calculation result of specific Measuring Tasks (General Extreme Values, General Characteristic Values,
Vibration Characteristic Values, Displacement Orbit, Current Alpha Beta Orbit and Current Symmetric Com-
ponents) can be monitored either against defined upper warning and alarm limits or lower warning and alarm
limits and even both. General Limit Check allows the monitoring of either upper and lower warning and alarm
limits or both.
Certain Measuring Tasks provide more than one calculation result. The limit check can be enabled or disabled
independently for each calculation result (e.g. General Characteristic Values).

The maxima and the peak to peak can be monitored against defined upper warning and alarm limits and the
minima against defined lower warning and alarm limits. The average and dynamic can be monitored against
defined upper or lower warning and alarm limits. It has to be considered that the dynamic is calculated accord-
ing to defined Operating States. Up to four Operating States can be defined and only if one of them is active, the
calculation of the dynamic is enabled. During transient operating or undefined Operating States, the calculation
of the dynamic is disabled which results in an output value of “0”.

4.9.6 Current
The Analyzing Package Current is intended to be applied to signals received from current clamps or directly
from an inverter which provide the three phase current signals. However, it has to be considered that that the
Analyzing Package Current produces inappropriate results when applied to RMS signals for instance.
Alpha Beta Orbit Yes No
Symmetric Components Yes No
4.9.6.1 Alpha Beta Orbit
The Measuring Task Alpha Beta Orbit analyzes a three phase current system by calculating the stator related
filtered orbit according to the Clarkes Transformation. A filtered orbit allows visualizing stator field related
asymmetries and provides specific characteristic values (Smax, AglSmax and Spp). Resulting quantities are
trended and can be monitored in order to perform a proper evaluation.
This Measuring Task calculates the filtered current orbit of the given three phase current signals.
