Machinery Protection Systems

For some rotating assets and the processes associated with them, periodic route-based data collection is insufficient to indicate asset health. Online condition monitoring provides the frequency and types of data necessary to stay on top of developing issues during normal operations and to respond quickly to sudden changes during transient conditions. Emerson’s AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is a versatile, scalable system that can be deployed in a variety of configurations to deliver online condition monitoring exactly as needed for the application.

Overspeed conditions on critical rotating equipment can be damaging to your assets and the plant personnel in the area. In addition, damaged equipment is expensive and time-consuming to repair or replace. During transient and normal operation, the AMS 6300 SIS guards against overspeed conditions caused by sudden load loss and unexpected changes. In addition, the same sensors will verify the rotational direction of your rotating equipment to ensure your assets are functioning correctly.

With Emerson´s AMS EZ 1000 eddy current sensor and converter you always have the part you need when you need it. With one converter that is compatible with a range of sensors and cables, you’ll be able to mix-and-match your spares to your application while reducing your converter inventory. And with an easy-to-use procedure for field calibrations, you’ll be back to work sooner. The AMS EZ 1000 makes changing out sensors following a shutdown or replacing sensors during turnarounds/maintenance quick and painless.
