PlantWeb Alerts give clear, powerful indications of developing problems to an operator at a DeltaV station.
Machinery Health feedback integrates to process automation
systems, such as Emerson’s Ovation® and DeltaV digital automation
systems.

There are certain process
variations that impact rotating machines in negative ways.
For instance, low tank or head levels may increase vibration
on a pump or hydro turbine. Faulty valves, incorrect process
running conditions, upstream loads or downstream backups
may also impact machinery health. Process event monitoring
with adaptive automated vibration analysis will send PlantWeb
Alerts, containing information about the fault, to operators
at Emerson’s DeltaV™digital automation system. As an example,
when a tank level sensor indicates the level has exceeded
a designated low set point, the CSI 4500 detects and automatically
adapts its monitoring strategy to begin “watching” for a
cavitation parameter to exceed a defined fault level. An
easy-to-read parameter labeled cavitation is then delivered
as a PlantWeb Alert to the operator at the DeltaV station.
The operator can take action such as adjusting the level
of an upstream tank to decrease vibration and increase efficiency
on a pump, adjusting tank levels to stop cavitations, or
increasing speed of a machine to eliminate a resonance condition.
Information for fast, accurate decision-making.
As plant personnel go about their daily activities, the
CSI 4500’s built in, exception-based processor collects
and distributes information to the right system or user
only when machinery health changes. The CSI 4500 continuously
monitors the health of your machine, but sends alerts or
new trend data to Emerson’s DeltaV or Ovation automation
system on an exception basis when health changes. In addition,
the CSI 4500 and the AMS Machinery Manager with the GT2
processor option can deliver transient analysis and live
views specifically designed for large and critical turbo
machinery.
AMS Machinery Manager also integrates with
AMS™ Suite: Asset Portal™ where machine health is combined
with other asset condition and
performance information
for a plant-wide view.
