Five percent of the rotating machines in every plant have the ability to bring production to a grinding halt. Although your critical machines have vibration shutdown protection systems in place to prevent catastrophic failure, is your plant really protected?

What about the shocking repair costs, missed production goals, and unfulfilled customer commitments associated with a trip or a missed trip?

As many as 50% of machinery malfunctions that lead to downtime are process induced, and 90% are predictable – even controllable.

The CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is designed for process automation and protection system upgrade projects. Housed in a single chassis, the CSI 6500 combines proven prediction and protection to provide a complete online machinery monitoring solution. Emerson is the global leader of integrated technologies for process automation and plant-wide predictive technologies for managing both fixed and rotating assets.

The CSI 6500 is fully compliant with API 670 and integrates protection, prediction, real-time performance monitoring and process automation.

The CSI 6500 is part of Emerson’s PlantWeb digital architecture, which provides enterprise-wide information needed for realtime decision making.

 

Instrumentation

While the CSI 6500 delivers field-based intelligence, accurate information starts with quality instrumentation.

Eddy current displacement sensors are the preferred method for monitoring sleeve-bearing machines. These displacement sensors penetrate the machine case and directly monitor the motion and position of the shaft without contacting the shaft surface.

Accelerometers and velometers are the industry accepted sensors for monitoring the health of gearboxes and rolling element bearings. Although temperature sensors are sometimes used to measure health, temperature alone is only a small part of the machinery health picture. When a shaft begins to rub the bearing as a result of misalignment, a displacement probe can directly track the misalignment behavior. By the time the rub is severe enough to trigger a temperature alarm, the damage is already done.

Mounting location and instrumentation bracket design are both critical for quality data.

A complete range of sensors, adapters, cables, connectors, converters, and fittings are available for new installations, retrofits, or replacement of sensors during an overhaul.
