Systems and methods for monitoring protection devices of an industrial machine

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;
• detect a user selection as an indication to temporarily shift a setpoint value of the one or more operational parameters;
• 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.

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;
• generate a first alarm alert based at least in part on the amount of time the protection function is disabled;
• and
• generate a second alarm alert in response to the indication being a notification that the industrial machine is operating in an unprotected state.
