状態

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
状態 as in 状態データ or 状態監視装置

マシンの状態データ(制御値やセンサーの値)を監視する、状態監視装置

I'm not 100% sure which of "the condition/state date" and "the condition/state monitoring device" suit the terms.

Thank you.

Marc Brunet Mar 9, 2015:
condition vs status monitoring It is not clear from the context what is being monitored. That panel/console may be displaying both the status and condition of the said machine.
If so, 'Status' generically refers to the state of each operating variable of the machine (so for a car this would be battery level, fuel level, engine rpm, On/Off state of position- and indicator- lights, etc...; for an MIG welding machine: the wattage level, the shielding gas flow rate, the rate of the welding wire feed, etc...).
Now, even though there may be some degree of overlap between the two terms, 'Condition' is more commonly associated with the detection and signalling of 'whether or not the conditions under which the machine is set to work' (i.e. main's power load, work load, etc...) are within its set ratings/ tolerances, or else 'the causes of some malfunction, whether it has occurred or is imminent' (such as the alert 'beep' of a light aeroplane put up to an excessively steep climb/angle of attack, thus risking a stall).
Any other/different views everyone?

状態データ:Condition parameters

「監視装置」自体が過去や未来ではなく「現在の状態」を監視するものなので、状態監視装置は単にmonitor panel で十分と思います。しいて言えば、condition monitor panelですが、condition が2度も出てくると、文が単調になってしまいます。
Peer comment(s):

agree Marc Brunet : 計器盤 would point to the operating 'Status' of the system, but 監視装置strongly points to its operational 'condition' level.

JIS 工業用語大辞典 1982

This is a pretty old source, but I think still dependable. It defines 状態監視 as 'condition monitoring' under Japan Industrial Standard No. Z8115 (this number - with the same definition- seems to have been updated to 81Z8115 in the slightly more recent Inter Press 機械•設計用語中辞典 and may have been updated again since).
Example sentence:

状態監視 condition monitoring - アイテムの使用お及び使用中の動作状態の確認、劣化傾向の検出、故障や欠点の位置の確認…
