Method for implementing vibration suppression system under control from a remote site

Abstract

A method of implementing vibration suppression at equipment residing at a local site is provided. The method comprises transmitting a prompt from a remote site to the local site, automatically sensing vibration response information from the equipment in response to the prompt, and transmitting the sensed vibration response information to the remote site. The method further comprises analyzing the sensed vibration response information at the remote site, and creating a vibration suppression algorithm based on the analyzed information. Another prompt is then transmitted from the remote site to the local site, and in response thereto, vibrations are induced within the equipment at the local site in accordance with the vibration suppression algorithm, and additional vibration response information from the equipment is sensed. The additional vibration response information is transmitted to, and analyzed at, the remote site, where a modified vibration suppression algorithm is created and transmitted to the local site for suppression of vibrations in the equipment.
