Convert a file to RBM

To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Diagnostic Database" file type, you need software like Emerson AMS Machinery Manager or a similar tool.


About RBM files

The .RBM file extension typically represents a highly proprietary file, commonly acting as a Machinery Health Database used by Emerson AMS Machinery Manager for storing rotating machinery diagnostics. Alternatively, it functions as a compiled 3D game model asset used by developers like Avalanche Studios for games such as Just Cause 3, or in titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and various Nintendo Wii games. It is also used as a payroll data backup by the Hungarian software RLB Bér.

Opening or editing these files is notoriously difficult because they are closed-source formats locked to their original software ecosystems. Users often need to convert .RBM 3D game models into standard formats like OBJ or FBX to modify them in standard modeling suites like Blender or Autodesk Maya. The primary disadvantage of the .RBM format is that game developers do not provide official export tools, meaning users are entirely reliant on buggy, community-developed scripts that often strip away animation skeletons or texture UV mapping during conversion.

For enterprise users, the Emerson .RBM database files are equally restrictive. They require an expensive corporate software license to open and read. You cannot natively export this diagnostic data into basic spreadsheet formats like CSV without the original software suite.

Standard online converters almost always fail to process .RBM files because they lack the highly specific, undocumented reverse-engineering required to decode them. However, just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the exact format, inspect the binary, and view any plaintext internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as the standard ZIP structure used by Hungarian payroll backups - viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your RBM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted CGP, TABLE and T2K files.

The RBM Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RBM converter.
