Emerson releases PeakVue Plus machinery analysis software

May 14, 2019 — Emerson is releasing PeakVue Plus, a technology enhancement that brings prescriptive analytics to the field, intended to help users improve the availability of rotating machinery. The firmware streamlines the path from data collection to action and enables users to make corrective decisions when analyzing machinery vibration.

By embedding expertise into analysis algorithms, PeakVue Plus enables AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer users to see at a glance whether a machine is in good working condition, and also the severity of an issue and whether it’s related to a bearing defect or lubrication.

PeakVue Plus builds on PeakVue technology that filters vibration signals to focus on impacting, a leading indicator of overall asset health on any type of rolling element bearing machine.

New AMS 2140 units will ship with PeakVue Plus. Current AMS 2140 users will be able to upgrade their units to add PeakVue Plus, if they have an active Guardian Support subscription. Guardian Support is a service where users can see the health of all their Emerson devices, receive around-the-clock technical support, and download software updates.

Emerson plans include adding PeakVue Plus to other Emerson machinery health products, allowing analytics to report into the Plantweb Optics asset performance platform.
