Teneuro
The acquisition hub that connects your plant to Sibilla: it reads controllers and fieldbuses, gives a voice to silent machines and listens to vibration and sound.
Designed, built and patented by Plasmiam for Sibilla predictive maintenance. Affordable enough to cover the whole fleet.
The SCADA logs every ten minutes, the PLC knows states and alarms, the CNC knows how loaded the spindle is. That data is valuable, and Sibilla reads it. But two things are left out:
Pumps, fans, small compressors, auxiliaries with no drive and no bus: often the most numerous machines in a plant.
That is where a bearing, a gear or a cavitating impeller makes itself heard weeks before it stops. No PLC or CNC provides it.
Teneuro exists to fill exactly these two gaps, and only those.
Collects data from systems that already communicate (genset controllers, drives, compressors, inverters, engine ECUs) and brings it to Sibilla over a single channel, thanks to its integrated router.
Analogue and digital inputs for the transducers that are missing: pressures, temperatures, currents, status contacts. It gives a voice to machines with no bus.
Accelerometers and microphones for mechanical failures: bearings, gears, cavitation, looseness. This is Teneuro's speciality.
Levels stated without shortcuts: “1-day activation” means configuration and signal mapping, with the customer's access and licences already in place. Teneuro → Sibilla over MQTT is native, so each level below is end to end.
| What | Examples | Level, up to Sibilla |
|---|---|---|
| Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP | Genset controllers, drives, compressor and blower controllers, PV dataloggers and inverters, PLCs with open Modbus | 1-day activation |
| CAN / SAE J1939 | Diesel and gas engine ECUs: standard PGNs (speed, load, temperatures, pressures) | 1-day activation
Proprietary PGNs and ECU diagnostics: Project-based |
| Analogue 4-20 mA / 0-10 V | Pressure, temperature and flow transmitters; 4-20 mA vibration meters already installed | 1-day activation |
| Digital inputs | Run/stop, alarm contacts, pulse counters | 1-day activation |
| Unsupported buses | PROFINET direct, EtherNet/IP, IEC 61850, proprietary CAN | Project-based
via the PLC, a historian or a gateway |
Where an AVEVA PI historian or an active OPC UA server already exists, Sibilla connects directly (native connector): you don't need Teneuro. Product and protocol names are trademarks of their respective owners and indicate technical compatibility only.
A defect on a bearing race produces weak, repeated impulses at precise frequencies. In the raw signal they get lost; with envelope analysis they emerge weeks before the temperature rises, which comes last. The same holds for the gears of a gearbox, a cavitating impeller, the valves of an engine.
Teneuro acquires these waveforms; Sibilla turns them into diagnostic indicators (KDIs) linked to the right component and failure mode, following the reference standards (ISO 20816-3 for rotating machines, ISO/TR 17243-1 for spindles).
Vibration is our strong point, but it does not work alone: Sibilla crosses it with load, speed and temperatures, which often come from the control system already in place.
Teneuro collects and prepares the signals and, through its integrated router, sends them over MQTT. The broker can sit in your plant or in the cloud: your data stays where you decide. In Sibilla each signal is attached to the plant ontology, that is, to the asset, the component and the failure mode it describes.
Native Teneuro → Sibilla over MQTT
Traditional condition monitoring costs enough to end up only on the three most important machines. The rest of the plant is maintained by the calendar, or repaired when it breaks.
Teneuro was designed with a different goal: a cost per measurement point low enough to put it on every machine that matters, including the pumps, fans and auxiliaries that on their own would not justify a dedicated system. With many similar machines monitored, Sibilla can compare them and apply the same Blueprint to the whole fleet: the machine that behaves differently from its twins shows up earlier.
The price depends on the configuration: we give it to you in a quote, after seeing your assets.
For each asset type, where Teneuro adds information, where it is partial, and where the data you already have is enough.
| Asset | Where Teneuro helps | Where it is partial or not needed |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel and gas engines, gensets | Reads the genset controller (Modbus) and the ECU (J1939); vibration and acoustics synchronised to crank angle for injectors and valves; turbocharger whine and high frequencies; cooling water pump | Main and big-end bearings: only at an advanced stage. Heat exchanger fouling is thermal: temperatures are enough. Oil mist detectors are protection, not prediction. Torsional dampers need a dedicated measurement |
| Wind turbines | Gearbox (bearings, gears) and generator where there is no CMS or to complement an old one; low-frequency tower vibration; acoustics | Pitch: SCADA data and alarms are enough. Main bearing: weak signal at low speed, handle with care. Oil analysis: only through a dedicated sensor |
| Hydro power plants | Runner cavitation and erosion (acoustics is the strong point); absolute vibration of bearing housings; auxiliary pumps and motors | Stator insulation (partial discharge) and air gap need dedicated sensors; Sibilla can integrate their trends. Relative shaft vibration usually comes from the protection system |
| Solar PV plants | String currents where the inverter does not provide them; inverter fans (noise and vibration); tracker motors | Soiling is an economic choice about cleaning, not a failure. DC side: switchboard temperatures only |
| Electric motors and drives | Bearings, imbalance, misalignment, inverter-induced shaft currents | Partial discharge: no |
| Centrifugal pumps | Cavitation (microphone + accelerometer: the ideal use case), bearings, operation away from the best efficiency point | Mechanical seal: partial. Performance: from process data |
| Compressors | Small screw and reciprocating compressors with no bus: Teneuro + Sibilla is the only predictive route. Rotor bearings, valves, transmission | Oil circuit, filters, cooling: partial, the controller is often enough |
| Fans and blowers | Imbalance from fouling, bearings, belts, looseness, gears of lobe blowers | — |
| Machining centres | Motor spindle bearings (accelerometer on the housing, ISO/TR 17243-1); acoustic signature of the tool change; hydraulic and coolant pressures | Tool wear is a process topic: we don't promise it. Axis currents and alarms already come from the CNC |
Wind, solar and hydro: Blueprints available in Sibilla. The other asset types: Blueprint built on your data, as a project.
Fewer sensors where they are not needed, more budget where they make a difference.
For machine builders
Offer predictive maintenance to your customers without developing hardware and software: Teneuro is integrated in the machine's control cabinet, and Sibilla brings the Blueprint of your machine (components, failure modes, indicators) to your whole installed fleet, on-premise at the customer's site or in the cloud.
You offer an additional service on new machines and on the installed base; we take care of electronics, firmware, data and models. All under NDA.

Before Plasmiam, our team designed and ran predictive maintenance for a major international utility: more than 1,000 power plants in 22 countries and over 40 GW of installed capacity, starting from hydro. That experience shaped Teneuro, designed, built and patented by Plasmiam to bring vibration monitoring to large fleets of small plants at a low cost per point.
No. Sibilla connects natively to AVEVA PI, OPC UA, MQTT, SQL, CSV and the major clouds. Teneuro is for where data is missing.
No: if its data is accessible, Sibilla reads it. Teneuro is added only where that system does not reach.
It depends on how many measurement points and which sensors are needed. The cost per point is designed to cover the whole fleet: we quantify it in a quote after seeing your assets.
