CSI 9210 monitors sensor outputs of vibration, temperature, motor flux, and machine speed on ac motor-pump machine trains. It then analyzes measured data, calculates machinery health, issues any needed alerts, and recommends actions in real time, in units and measures understood by plant personnel. Emerson says it’s the first FOUNDATION fieldbus transmitter that diagnoses conditions, including motor-pump bearing failure, coupling misalignment, motor-electrical failure, pump cavitation, and pump imbalance.

The product targets large and small motor-pump machines essential to chemical, oil and gas, refining, power, pulp and paper, and other process applications, in which unplanned production shutdowns can cost $1 million or more daily. CSI 9210 takes 11 inputs.

Alerts operators in real time

Predictive costs less than reactive or timed maintenance

Lost capacity from unplanned downtime costs more than many repairs
