Device Warns of Impending Damage to Vital Machinery
Emerson Process Management’s new CSI
9360 vibration/position transmitter is
intended to provide an economical solution for extending basic protection to
compressor, pump and fan assets.
Developed using OEM-supplied specifications, the transmitter detects emerging
sleeve-bearing issues by capturing vibration or position data and translating it
into a 4-20 mA signal for monitoring.
This advanced warning allows customers
to shut down these assets before significant equipment damage occurs or production is impacted. The CSI 9360 helps
users save money by reducing the need
for multiple types of transmitters. It can
be field-configured for three radial vibration ranges or position with invertible
position signal, selectable sensor loop
response times and optional sensor fault
lock out times. While most transmitters
standardize on 5-mm sensors, the CSI
9360 supports multiple eddy current
sensor sizes. The transmitter has flexible
options for accessing data, making it easier to take timely, corrective action. For
data collection and analysis, the buffered
output can be accessed through a SMB
connection by a portable analyzer such
as the CSI 2140. The screw terminal
buffered output connection can be
directly wired to a monitoring system for
detailed analysis or troubleshooting. The
CSI 9360 is loop-powered with a standard DIN rail mounting clip or optional
panel mount adaptor.
