Transmitter delivers machinery health diagnostics

An Emerson Process Management product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 6, 2009

Emerson Process Management has announced an extension to the monitoring capabilities of its CSI 9210 machinery health transmitter.

The CSI 9210, which monitors vibration, temperature and speed on machine trains, can now be applied to all types of plant and mill rotating machinery, including motors, fans, cooling tower fans, pumps and compressors.

A component of Plantweb digital plant architecture, the smart transmitter analyses the health of mechanical equipment through predictive diagnostics to improve plant availability and performance.

Condition monitoring diagnostics from the CSI 9210 give plant personnel a better understanding of equipment health and developing issues.

This knowledge enables predictive maintenance practices, resulting in less equipment downtime, longer machine life and lower maintenance costs.

Vibration data from the CSI 9210 allows users to accurately pinpoint potentially damaging conditions such as imbalance, looseness, bearing degradation, motor overloading and pump cavitation.

Plantweb sends out alerts and recommended actions are communicated to process automation systems and AMS Suite predictive maintenance software through the Foundation fieldbus protocol, giving users real-time access to the true condition of their rotating assets.

Predictive diagnostics in AMS Suite give vibration analysts a real-time view of the same machinery health information that plant operators see.

Additional alert detail can be accessed directly in the field through the portable CSI 2130 machinery health analyser.

With detailed diagnostics available from the CSI 9210, vibration analysts can perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis for best cost maintenance.
