The CSI 6500 is integrated with the Ovation and DeltaV process automation systems through an easy three step process to reduce integration time from weeks to minutes. In addition, control strategies and graphical elements are automatically created, making GUI development a snap.
False trips are addressed through features such as 2oo3 voting logic for increased decision accuracy and limiting channel count to two channel modules. Two channel modules mean that swapping a protection module will affect no more than two channels – an API 670 requirement.
Redundant communications ensures that the operator is never blind to machinery health information.
Other features that demonstrate the exibility of the CSI 6500 include:
Thrust monitoring: dual channel, complementary, min/max or absolute shaft position, measuring range shift, measuring range invert
Differential Expansion: exibility for any type of ramp con guration
Eccentricity: max., min., peak to peak, or distance from clearance reference
Integrated Machinery Protection and Prediction from Emerson saves hundreds of man-hours and gives you a complete, error free integration of machinery information with the DeltaV or Ovation digital control system.
Typical machinery protection systems can require 2,400 steps for 24 vibration channels to complete the integration process. It typically takes up to ve days for complete integration. With this many steps, network issues, additional testing
time, and nuisance alarms are easily introduced. All too often, plants don’t have the time or staff to complete the integration, leaving plant operators without key machinery health diagnostics.
The CSI 6500 eliminates this risk by easily providing machinery health diagnostics to operators through the simple three step Easy Integration with your control system.
