TCM®
Turbine Condition Monitoring
Prevent turbine failures and reduce downtime with powerful condition monitoring.
Turbine Condition Monitoring (TCM®) is a secure end-to-end hardware and software solution for condition based monitoring of the health of core components in your wind turbine – allowing you to detect early damages and failures across your wind turbine fleet.
Avoid turbine failures and increase power production
Preventing wind turbine failures and understanding the health state of core wind turbine parts are essential commercial drivers when managing a wind farm.
With 25+ years of experience, TCM® is a state-of-the-art, secure wind turbine monitoring solution incorporating advanced vibration monitoring technology to identify emerging faults and damages in core wind turbine components.
TCM® empowers owners and operators to adopt a predictive maintenance strategy, improving operational decisions that help reduce turbine downtime and increase power production – providing site managers and maintenance personnel peace of mind.

END-TO-END CONDITION MONITORING
Predict failures and reduce maintenance costs
Our high-quality vibration sensors are designed to measure every vibration with high precision, whether vibrations occur in the main bearing, gearbox and generator or undesired tower sway, rotor imbalance or tail wag.
1Accelerometers (A)
Mounted in the most important locations of the drive train, the accelerometers accurately monitor low frequency vibrations
M-Sensors
The M-Sensors consists of two axial DC-coupled accelerometers, which monitor the tower sway and rotor imbalance.
M-System
The M-system unit is placed inside the nacelle of the wind turbine. It collects data from all connected sensors simultaneously, processes information and transfers the data and alarms to your TCM® solution in the cloud.
Data collection
TCM® collects data from other components, including RPM, Active Power and much more, providing you with the comprehensive view of your wind turbine's health.Mounted in the most important locations of the drive train, the accelerometers accurately monitor low frequency vibrations

Cyber-secure and compliant solution
TCM® is built on a robust security foundation to protect IT and OT infrastructures against cyber-attacks and interruptions in energy production. We provide a compliant wind turbine solution to meet your IT infrastructure needs.
Safeguard against cyber-attacks
TCM® is enabled for compliance according to NERC CIP, IEC62443, NIST, and NIS2. By incorporating fundamental OT design principles, such as the Zero Trust security approach, the Purdue model for ICS security, and the Cisco principle, you can effectively manage the OT zone from the IT zone, even remotely.
Seamless integration with your IT systems
Expand your wind turbine monitoring capabilities by integrating TCM® with your SCADA, ERP, or IT systems. We offer flexible deployment options, including cloud or on-premise servers, to meet your wind fleet's specific IT needs.

- Easy identification of fault signatures.
- Creation of measurement configurations, alarm setup, and much more.
Case story:
Suomen Hyötytuuli optimises operations
Streamlining operations with unified data & analysis
The Finnish renewable energy production company, Suomen Hyötytuuli, faced challenges with wind turbines equipped with different Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS). This resulted in data from multiple CMS sources without a centralised platform to consolidate and analyse the overwhelming amount of information.
By connecting various CMS data sources to TCM®, the company established a unified platform for managing all wind turbine condition monitoring data. This integration provided comprehensive control over data and streamlined operations, making wind farm monitoring and maintenance more effective.
