A method of monitoring a rotating
machine configured for
energy transfer having a plurality of subsystems, each subsystem includes one cylinder. In the method a measurement
signal of a vibration of the rotating
machine is obtained and the
vibration measurement signal (2) is sampled into a plurality of vibration subsignals (21, 22, 23, 24, 25), each vibration subsignal (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) corresponding to one full revolution of the rotating
machine. A reference vibration subsignal (20) is determined based on an average of the plurality of vibration subsignals (21, 22, 23, 24, 25). The reference vibration subsignal (20) is sampled into a plurality of
signal snippets (201, 202, 203, 204, 205), each signal
snippet (201, 202, 203, 204, 205) assigned to one subsystem of the rotating machine. A cross-
correlation analysis of the plurality of signal snippets (201, 202, 203, 204, 205) is performed for identifying a potential fault state of the rotating machine. The disclosure further discloses a rotating machine configured for
energy transfer having a plurality of subsystems, each subsystem including one cylinder, is provided, wherein the rotating machine further includes a
control unit adapted to perform a method according the disclosure.
