EDM Overview

EDM, or Engineering Data Management, is the desktop software that works with all Crystal Instruments front-end hardware.

EDM may include the following software applications based on license key options.

  • VCS: single axis and MIMO vibration controller software
  • THV: temperature, humidity, and vibration control software
  • MSC: multi-shaker control software
  • WE: waveform editor, processes data for VCS
  • DSA: dynamic signal analyzer software
  • RCM: remote monitoring software
  • TDA: time data acquisition software
  • Modal: Complete modal testing and analysis software
  • CoCo-DSA: desktop software for CoCo hardware

Other software products installed separately:

  • PA: post analysis software. Post processing data acquired by CoCo or Spider hardware
  • EDC: embedded device controller, lightweight temperature and humidity control software designed for touchscreen operation
  • VDS: vibration diagnostic system
  • Machine Builder: builds machine models to be used in VCS
  • FECT: front-end calibration tool, calibration software for Spider hardware

The vibration control system software runs on several different hardware platforms from Crystal Instruments:

  • Spider-81: an 8-channel device that can be expanded to a system with hundreds of channels
  • Spider-81B: a 4-channel economic version of Spider-81
  • Spider-80X: a compact packaging of Spider-81 that can be expanded to a system with hundreds of channels
  • Spider-80Xi: a compact version of Spider-80X without the enclosure as a modular card inside of chassis
  • Spider-80SG: an 8-channel device with bridge channels for Strain Gauge or general data acquisition applications
  • Spider-80SGi: a compact version of Spider-80SG without the enclosure as a modular card inside of chassis

Here is the list of ports used by EDM and Spider

  • TCP Port: 9001
  • UDP Detect Port: 9002
  • UDP Find Port: 9003
  • NAS Download FTP Port: 9021 (for downloading data from Spider-NAS)
  • Device Status Monitor Port: 4430 (optional)
  • SQL Server TCP Port: 1433 (communication port for Microsoft SQL server)
  • SQL Server UDP Port: 1434 (communication port for Microsoft SQL server)
  • EDM Cloud (Web Sockets) Port: 80 (communication port for EDM Cloud service)
  • SMTP Port: 25 (port for EDM to send emails)
  • SMTP with SSL Port: 587 (port for EDM to send emails with SSL)
