October 14, 2015 – Emerson Process Management introduces the CSI 6500 ATG protection system, a stand-alone machinery protection solution that also allows users to cost-effectively introduce prediction monitoring of critical assets from the same system. Predictive intelligence is a key component to increasing availability and improving the reliability of plant assets.
CSI 6500 ATG multi-functional cards can be easily reconfigured for a wide range of measurements, including the impacting or peak-to-peak data used in Emerson’s unique PeakVue technology. In addition to monitoring the start-up and coastdown of critical turbo machinery for safe operation, users will be able to utilize PeakVue technology to identify the earliest indications of developing faults in gearboxes and bearings.
With the CSI 6500 ATG, it is no longer necessary to return to the control room or open cabinets in the field to view or analyze data. The CSI 6500 ATG can be networked over wired or wireless Ethernet to deliver asset health information to authorized users through a PC or phone application.
To facilitate easy system integration with third party systems, CSI 6500 ATG includes a secure embedded OPC UA server.
“Studies show that it costs 50% more to repair a machine after it has failed versus predicting the failure and thus planning for the repair costs,” said Thomas Wewers, director of technology for Emerson’s reliability solutions. “For users whose budget doesn't cover the cost of both a protection and a prediction system, getting prediction data from a protection system is an incremental step towards improving the insight on asset health.”
The CSI ATG system complies with the traditional API 670 certification and is certified for installation in demanding environments where Class 1 Div2/ATEX Zone 2 approvals are required.
