Emerson Process Management introduces machinery health monitor to provide live, continuous monitoring of turbines used for main power and other critical processes during transient conditions.
Emerson Process Management has introduced the CSI 4500 Machinery Health Monitor to provide live, continuous monitoring of turbines used for main power and other critical processes during transient conditions.
This monitoring technology supports predictive and proactive maintenance by presenting data for asset management decision making.
It is a component of Emerson's Plantweb digital plant architecture and provides information to prevent catastrophic failure.
The AMS software simplifies display of the information and its use for maintenance.
Data can be viewed live at the time of an event for insight during critical transient operations such as turbine startup and shutdown when turbine problems are most likely to occur.
The same information from turnarounds and unscheduled trips can be stored and retrieved later for analysis.
The monitor complements the AMS suite's equipment performance monitor, which monitors the efficiency of the same turbomachinery equipment.
The two applications let users know the condition and the performance of their turbomachinery and schedule maintenance.
Both can be used in an integrated, secure web environment using the AMS suite's asset portal.
While up to 60 hours of data from up to 32 channels is written to the system's internal hard drive, users can extract data and view live plots of events for analysis while the monitoring process continues.
Five plots - orbits, shaft centrelines, Bode/Nyquist, waveform and cascade - from every bearing in the machine can be viewed simultaneously, in full dual-monitor mode.
Users can view the data they need when they need it to make decisions about turbomachinery operations.
To start continuous data collection on all 32 channels, the user accesses the machinery manager and selects all channels.
The software also lets the user select only those channels the user needs.
Since monitoring is continuous, there is no need to set or adjust time limits or other boundaries on data collection.
