Vibration range chart with background

Who it’s for

Maintenance engineers, reliability technicians, and plant operators ask “can I see vibration history against severity zones?” The background variant adds a full-card color signal for wall-mounted maintenance center displays.

What it does

A device reporting vibration = 2.1 mm/s renders a time-series area chart overlaid on horizontal color bands on a card whose entire background fills with the current severity level color: 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).

• Full-card background color makes current vibration severity level readable across a room without reading the number
• Color-banded area chart shows vibration trend against ISO 10816 severity zone boundaries simultaneously
• Data zoom slider lets technicians focus on any time window within the displayed period
• 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

The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled Vibration, 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 — open the widget settings and adjust the band boundaries to match your machinery class per ISO 10816.
• To change the background and band colors — edit the color for each severity band in the widget settings.
• To rename the units label — change the Units field in the widget settings if needed.

Tips

• On a maintenance center wall display, the colored background announces current machine condition from across the room while the banded chart tells the story of how vibration has evolved over the period.
• Use this card on a large monitor dedicated to a single critical pump where both trend history and current severity must be legible from a standing position.
• Use consistent severity colors across all vibration widgets.
