Machinery health transmitter sends
fieldbus alerts
Emerson announces a new class of smart instruments that analyse the health of plant mechanical equipment and present actionable information to improve plant availability and performance
Emerson Process Management announces a new class of smart instruments that analyse the health of plant mechanical equipment and present actionable information to improve plant availability and performance The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter acquires vibration, temperature, motor flux, and machine speed on AC motor-pump machine trains, analyses the measured data, calculates machinery health, issues alerts if necessary, and recommends action to be taken

The new CSI 9210 Transmitter will significantly impact the way process industries use and maintain their rotating equipment, providing reliable information that enables them to get longer service from their equipment and initiate timely maintenance to prevent unexpected failures.
"The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter is a significant extension of Emerson PlantWeb digital plant architecture and will deliver real business impact to users in terms of improved plant availability," said Craig Llewellyn, president of the Asset Optimisation division of Emerson.
"Smart Machinery Health Management delivers actionable information on rotating equipment health so plant personnel can prevent production upsets before they happen".
According to John Rezabek, Controls Specialist for BP Chemicals, Lima, Ohio, "The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter can alert our operators in real time when equipment problems start to manifest.
If a change in upstream head, volatility, or composition results in increased flashing or cavitation, they can make adjustments to eliminate the problem." The new device uses an embedded analysis engine to accurately identify potentially damaging conditions such as pump cavitation, bearing degradation, excessive synchronous vibration, and motor overloading and overheating.
Results are communicated using the Foundation fieldbus protocol into process automation systems and AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager predictive diagnostics software, giving users unprecedented real-time access to the true condition of their motor-pump assets.
With this real-time information, plant operators are able to easily view rotating equipment status, recognise issues with machinery, and take actions to improve availability and performance.
When used within the PlantWeb architecture, the CSI 9210 Transmitter delivers analysis results in the form of PlantWeb Alerts, which categorise the warnings as "advisory", "maintenance", or "failed".
A specific Machinery Health Value is also given along with recommendations for any necessary actions.
The assessment of machinery health generated by the CSI 9210 Transmitter gives plant personnel a better understanding of the condition of monitored equipment and problems that may be developing.
This knowledge empowers the practice of predictive maintenance, resulting in less equipment downtime, longer machine life, and lower maintenance costs.
