Prediction And Protection For Your Turbines
While the shutdown of many kinds of assets in your facility can halt plant output, few are as complex or as expensive as the turbine. Whether your operation centers on gas, steam, hydro, or combined-cycle, your maintenance priority and the asset you count on most for reliability is the turbine. For this critical asset, operations and maintenance personnel require a complete system – predictive intelligence plus protection capabilities that integrates with the distributed control system – to maximize reliability.

Emerson offers a variety of solutions to deliver prediction and protection to your critical assets. The CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is a modular architecture solution that delivers API 670- and API 618-compliant protection integrated with prediction, and is ideal for retrofit applications on existing cabinets. Where overspeed is a concern, Emerson’s CSI 6300 SIS Digital Overspeed Protection System guards against conditions caused by unexpected changes or load losses. The CSI 6300 SIS is TUV-certified for SIL 3 and complies with the latest versions of industry safety standards. Emerson’s new Ovation Machinery Health Monitor module plugs directly into the Ovation DCS, embedding the system with the same API 670- and API 618-compliant protection as offered in the CSI 6500 rack-mounted solution.

Maintain Reliability Across the Balance of Your Plant (BOP)
There are a large number of assets in your facility that can impact capacity – boiler feed pumps, compressors, exhausters, and motors to name a few. These BOP assets are essential to meeting your business goals and require the same field-proven monitoring technologies as your turbines. Emerson’s wireless and route-based solutions are the perfect balance of quality monitoring with cost-effective implementation for these applications.

Route-based monitoring covers the largest number of assets. Emerson’s CSI 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer features four-channels plus phase monitoring for advanced vibration analysis, cross-channel and transient analysis, dynamic balancing, and motor monitoring. The CSI 2140 delivers many of the same sophisticated diagnostic capabilities as the CSI 6500 without permanent, hard-wired mounting of sensors. Data is collected on a periodic basis, and advanced testing using embedded intelligence is performed to isolate and correct equipment problems.

Wireless monitoring addresses both safety and cost concerns. The CSI 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter continually monitors vibration and delivers data over a wireless network to extend your predictive intelligence to hazardous and remote locations. With fewer wires and reduced time/cost to install, the CSI 9420 is a cost-efficient means for data collection throughout the plant.

Emerson offers scalable solutions for expanding protection to your non-critical assets. Emerson’s CSI 3000 Machinery Health Monitor is a field-mounted, dual-channel solution for a variety of machines, including turbo compressors/pumps, centrifuges, blowers, generators and gearboxes.

Emerson is your one source of responsibility for the entire measurement chain. With a comprehensive line of sensors for all your measurement needs, Emerson is your single source for collecting and communicating vibration data from critical and essential assets in the plant.

More Insight Using One Software Application
Emerson’s AMS Machinery Manager predictive intelligence software delivers power diagnostics capabilities to help improve the availability and performance of your key production assets. Data integrated from a variety of collection technologies – including specialized third-party applications – creates an insightful, comprehensive view of machinery health. Alarm and reporting functionality delivers the right data to the right team – plant management, operations, or maintenance and reliability.
