Predictive condition monitoring on rotating equipment in remote environments can now be handled more easily, following the launch of Emerson's Compact CSI 6500 machinery health monitor.
 Aimed at restricted space and skid-mount plants, it is a smaller version of the company's existing system, measuring 19cm wide by 27cm (6U) high, and with either 12- or 24-channel count configurations.
Emerson says that means critical machinery health monitoring does not have to be sacrificed, because even the most remote machines can be cost-effectively included.
The unit also uses state-based triggered acquisition, rather than round robin data collection, so monitoring is tailored to process conditions or machine states. It doesn't just collect generic vibration data.
Data can be read by a standalone system or integrated with either of Emerson's DeltaV and Ovation digital automation systems in its PlantWeb digital plant architecture – or interfaced to third-party hosts.
Trends and machinery health information are delivered to AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager predictive maintenance software for advanced analysis and documentation.
