Portable and multi-channel
May 1st 2007 Emerson Process
Management has introduced
a portable multi-channel
monitor for continuous online data
collection. The CSI XP32 can be
carried into the field and attached
to turbo machinery for continuous
monitoring on a temporary basis.
The CSI XP32 includes a
transient processor for sleeve
bearing turbo machinery and a
PeakVue processor specifically for
balance of plant rolling element
machines and gearboxes. The CSI
XP32 allows users to record
hundreds of hours of continuous
time waveforms, monitor the
machines live, and even play back
the data as an instant replay from
multiple camera angles.
The live dashboard gives
decision-makers the ability to view
plots of events as they occur,
enabling them to analyse the
operation to avoid unexpected
shutdowns or prevent catastrophic
failures. The live views are useful
during startup and run down
periods when signs of trouble are
most likely to appear. Four
independent speed/phase
channels make it possible to
monitor the transient events of four
independent machines
concurrently. Users can view
seven plots on every bearing of a
machine with real-time updates. More articles from Emerson Process Management: |
