Emerson announced extension of 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 more extensively to plant and mill rotating machinery, including motors, fans, cooling tower fans, pumps, and compressors. A component of PlantWeb digital plant architecture, the smart transmitter analyzes 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 empowers 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 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 Analyzer. With detailed diagnostics available from the CSI 9210, vibration analysts can perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis for best cost maintenance.

 

“Emerson continues its innovation in Smart Machinery Health Management with the extension of the CSI 9210 to all rotating equipment,” said Craig Llewellyn, president of Emerson’s Asset Optimization division. “The CSI 9210 delivers relevant machinery diagnostics to operators, maintenance and reliability experts, and machinery specialists through a seamless integration with process automation systems, asset management software, and portable analyzers. The distribution of critical information allows users to make informed decisions to improve performance and reliability.”

 

Emerson combines world-class services with the PlantWeb digital plant architecture to help users apply field-based information. Services include installation supervision, configuration and startup, training, and ongoing support.
