Systems and methods for monitoring protection devices of an industrial machine

1. A machinery protection monitoring system, comprising:

a memory configured to store fault conditions relating to an industrial machine;

a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive a measurement of one or more operational parameters associated with an operation of the industrial machine;

receive an indication that operational protection of the industrial machine is at least partially suspended; and

generate an alarm signal based at least in part on whether at least one of the fault conditions is satisfied with respect to the measurement of the one or more operational parameters or an aspect of the at least partial suspension of the operational protection of the industrial machine;

wherein the aspect of the at least partial suspension of the operational protection of the industrial machine comprises a time value; and

wherein the alarm signal is generated upon the time value exceeding a predetermined time limit.

2. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to compare the measurement of the one or more operational parameters to the at least one of the fault conditions.

3. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the fault conditions comprise a plurality of alarm escalation rules.

4. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the fault conditions comprise a speed range, a pressure range, a temperature range, a vibration range, a flow range, a frequency range, a clearance range, or any combination thereof.

5. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to detect a user selection as an indication to temporarily shift a setpoint value of the one or more operational parameters.

6. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to temporarily shift the setpoint value of the one or more operational parameters during a commissioning period of the industrial machine.

7. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the fault conditions comprise a mode of operation of the industrial machine.

8. The machinery protection monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the alarm signal comprises an indication of an adverse operational condition of the machinery protection monitoring system.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable code stored thereon, the code comprising instructions to:

receive a measurement of one or more operational parameters associated with an operation of an industrial machine;

receive an indication that an operational protection of the industrial machine is at least partially suspended; and

generate an alarm signal based at least in part on whether at least one of a plurality of fault conditions is satisfied with respect to the measurement of the one or more operational parameters or an aspect of the at least partial suspension of the operational protection of the industrial machine;

wherein the aspect of the at least partial suspension of the operational protection of the industrial machine comprises a time value; and

wherein the alarm signal is generated upon the time value exceeding a predetermined time limit.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the code comprises instructions to compare the measurement of the one or more operational parameters to the at least one of the plurality of fault conditions.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the code comprises instructions to detect a user selection as an indication to temporarily shift a setpoint value of the one or more operational parameters.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the code comprises instructions to temporarily shift the setpoint value of the one or more operational parameters during a commissioning period of the industrial machine.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the code comprises instructions to generate the alarm signal based at least in part on whether at least one of a plurality of alarm rules is satisfied as the at least one of the plurality of fault conditions.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the code comprises instructions to determine a mode of operation of the industrial machine as the at least one of the plurality of fault conditions.

15. A machinery monitoring protection system, comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive an indication of an activation of a user control configured to temporarily disable a protection function of the machinery monitoring protection system;

determine an amount of time the protection function is disabled; and

generate a first alarm alert based at least in part on the amount of time the protections function is disable;

wherein the first alarm alert is generated upon the amount of time exceeding a time limit.

16. The machinery monitoring protection system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to generate a second alarm alert in response to the indication as a notification that the industrial machine is operating in an unprotected state.
