even this improvement is still faced with a lot of problems that are very similar to the<br />

described ones in section 2.4 (see e.g. [Pitter01], p. 63-68).<br />

Hence an aimed goal of current research is to sensor additional measures to improve<br />

this type of machinery condition monitoring. Therefore, the research and<br />

development of sensors is mainly based on two ideas:<br />

• To create multi sensors<br />

• To create “intelligent” sensors<br />

Multi sensors allow a monitoring of different measures at the same time at the same<br />

place ([Krallmann05], p. 50). Main advantages are a saving of costs, higher reliability<br />

and a fusion of different kinds of measurements at one place ([Pitter01], p. 76). 30<br />

Intelligent sensors are based on mechatronics. The main idea of this research activity<br />

is to combine the fields of electronics, mechatronics and information processing<br />

([Piiter01], p. 27). This combination allows an interaction between mechanical and<br />

electronic parts in form of a control cycle. The approach offers new possibilities of<br />

monitoring and data analysis. 31 But as this diploma thesis shall be based on currently<br />

existing data there will be no focus on this activity.<br />

Beside an improvement of sensors, current research focuses also on knowledge<br />

driven approaches. The main idea is to combine measured data with additional<br />

knowledge of the underlying process (e.g. [Tröltzsch06], p. 10). As this additional<br />

knowledge is specific for certain settings, only general ideas of research activities<br />

from one setting could be applied to another one.<br />

In general two knowledge driven approaches can be figured out:<br />

• Knowledge models<br />

• Artificial neural networks<br />

A knowledge model is the most specific approach. It contains information of the<br />

underlying process. Hence, current measurement values can be classified in a better<br />

way. Often, this kind of model is combined with vibration analysis to determine<br />

friction for instance. In this case, a knowledge model could contain additional<br />
