Simple vibration chart card

Who it’s for

Maintenance engineers, reliability technicians, and plant operators ask “what is the vibration trend for this pump and what is the level right now?” They need a compact chart that combines trend and current reading in the smallest possible footprint.

What it does

A device reporting vibration = 2.1 mm/s renders a compact sparkline-style trend line and the current value together in a single card, color-coded by ISO 10816 severity level: green for Good (below 2.8 mm/s), orange for Moderate (2.8–4.5 mm/s), dark orange for Elevated (4.5–7.1 mm/s), and red for High (above 7.1 mm/s).

• Compact sparkline chart shows vibration direction at a glance without occupying the space of a full chart card
• Live vibration reading in mm/s with color coding across four ISO 10816 severity bands
• Shows one asset’s data per widget; add multiple widgets to monitor different pumps or motors side by side

How to set up

Data keys

Key	Role	Type	Description
vibration	Chart series	Timeseries	Vibration velocity in mm/s; change the key name to match your device’s telemetry key
Latest	Latest value	Timeseries	The headline figure above the chart. Its own color ranges are where the band colors are edited

The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled Pressure, so it draws random values until you point the datasource at a device and rename the key.

To point it at your own device: open the dashboard in edit mode, open the widget’s Datasources, pick the entity or entity alias, and replace the function key with the key your device reports.

Value ranges

Range (mm/s)	Level	Color
0–2.8	Good	Green
2.8–4.5	Moderate	Orange
4.5–7.1	Elevated	Dark Orange
7.1+	High	Red

How to customize

• To change the severity thresholds — edit the color ranges on the Latest data key to match your machinery class per ISO 10816.
• To change the chart colors — edit the color of each range on the Latest data key.
• To rename the units label — change the Units field in the widget settings if needed.

Tips

• The simple chart card fits more pumps per row than the full chart card — use it for a plant-wide machinery health overview where you only need trend direction and current severity, not delta percentages.
• A rising sparkline alongside a Good reading is an early warning that vibration is moving toward the Moderate band — a useful prompt for a preemptive maintenance check before the machine enters a zone where damage accumulates.
• Pair with an efficiency simple chart card on the same row for a two-variable predictive maintenance panel that fits twice as many machines on screen as the full chart cards.
