Fault detection system based on embedded platform

This paper introduced a gear-box fault detection system that based on PC/104 embeded platform. Gear-box is almost as important as engine in a vehicle, so it is necessary to make sure that it is not out of order when driving. By collecting the vibrant signal from the gear, axes and bearing in gear-box, then processing and analysis the data, we can get acquirement of the working condition of the gear-box. And we can store the information in PC/104 embeded module for a future analysis or send the data to control center or upper PC by network or serial port, then achieving remote monitoring in real-time. This system can help safely driving, and it can reduce the risk of accident that caused by the fault of gear-box. © 2008 IEEE.
