Emerson embeds prediction data into protection system to improve reliability of critical assets.

Emerson Process Management introduces the CSI 6500 ATG protection system, a stand-alone machinery protection solution that allows users to introduce prediction monitoring of critical assets from the same system. CSI 6500 ATG multi-functional cards can be reconfigured for a range of measurements, including the impacting or peak-to-peak data used in Emerson’s PeakVue technology. In addition to monitoring the start-up and coastdown of critical turbo machinery for safe operation, users can utilize PeakVue technology to identify the earliest indications of developing faults in gearboxes and bearings, according to the company.

The CSI 6500 ATG can be networked over wired or wireless Ethernet to deliver asset health information to authorized users through a PC or phone application. To facilitate system integration with third party systems, CSI 6500 ATG includes a secure embedded OPC UA server. 

The CSI ATG system complies with the traditional API 670 certification and is certified for installation in demanding environments where Class 1 Div2/ATEX Zone 2 approvals are required.
