Emerson Releases AMS Machinery Manager v5.4

Emerson Process Management has released Version 5.4 of its asset-management software, AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager, which includes wireless access to spectral waveform vibration diagnostics. AMS Machinery Manager v5.4 augments its presentation of predictive diagnostics from all types of mechanical assets and enables the integration of the CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor protection and prediction system with either the DeltaV or Ovation digital automation system.

This solution integrates machinery health diagnostics information between the protection system, asset management software and control system. This enables maintenance and operations personnel to access critical, real-time machinery health information that allows them to identify and resolve machinery issues before process interruptions occur. Wireless vibration transmitters provide accurate vibration monitoring on mechanical assets, such as motors, fans and pumps.

AMS Machinery Manager v5.4 supports spectrum, waveform and trend vibration data from the CSI 9420 wireless vibration transmitter. This information allows users to effectively manage the performance of rotating equipment through the analysis of key machinery health information. Data can be imported on demand or at regularly scheduled intervals, based on specific maintenance and equipment needs. Emerson's CSI 9420 is the first vibration transmitter to use the IEC-approved Wirelesshart industry-standard protocol to deliver full vibration data for machinery health analysis.

In addition, users of the CSI 2130 machinery health analyser will benefit from new functionality in AMS Machinery Manager v5.4, including multiple route load, plotting tools for Bode and Nyquist plots, multiple trends displayed on a single plot and fault frequency displayed on Analyser Job data. Expanded case history management in AMS Machinery Manager supports additional file types associated with individual case history entries. AMS Machinery Manager v5.4 also includes an Overall Vibration Index report for quickly identifying plant assets where vibration levels exceed threshold values.

'Through the integration of wireless vibration diagnostics and machinery protection systems, operators and maintenance personnel can more effectively identify and resolve issues while maintaining production and preserving equipment health,' said Craig Llewellyn, president of Emerson's Asset Optimization business.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
