Amot will feature the innovative XTS-W bearing condition monitoring system that provides the earliest warning of bearing wear and trends monitoring next month at Norshipping, along with the TomaHawk 8635A programmable logic controller combining the power of a PLC with the ease of use of an embedded controller.
The XTS-W system actually detects wear of main, big end and crosshead bearings on large diesel marine engines before steel-on-steel contact occurs, unlike traditional temperature monitoring and oil mist detection techniques that allow shutdown before failure but not before problems have already started.
Using a totally new concept based on linear bearing wear instrumentation it is the most cost-effective solution to provide operators the maximum time for controlled engine shut-down and ship manoeuvres and allowing the most effective planned maintenance.
Continuous bearing monitoring enables real-time wear trend analysis, with a picture of the rate of change of bearing wear giving a much earlier indication of a potential engine problem than a simple alarm threshold can provide.
The Amot TomaHawk 8635A programmable logic controller brings users a uniquely simple and flexible programming concept that allows custom and/or pre-programmed applications to be combined and tailored to meet user needs exactly.
With 120 I/O points, two Modbus communications ports, a tachometer input, a 4-line 80-character backlit display and a tactile keypad, the TomaHawk controller is suitable for use with engines, turbines, compressors, generators and other equipment in the most demanding hazardous area applications.
Key to the unmatched system flexibility is its patented HawkWin software, a Windows-based configuration program enabling powerful and complex programs to be constructed in a fraction of the time needed to program a typical PLC.
It also allows programming changes to be made in the field using a laptop computer.
Amot offers a full line of sensors for temperature, pressure, vibration, impact and liquid level as well as actuated control valves that directly interface with this new controller to complete a wide range of equipment applications with the highest level of operational versatility and efficiency.
