Emerson Process Management has introduced the CSI 6500 ATG protection system, a stand-alone machinery protection solution that allows users to introduce predictive monitoring of critical assets from the same system. Predictive intelligence is a key component to increasing availability and improving the reliability of plant assets.

CSI 6500 ATG multifunctional cards can be easily reconfigured for a wide 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 will be able to utilise PeakVue technology to identify the earliest indications of developing faults in gearboxes and bearings.

With the CSI 6500 ATG, it is no longer necessary to return to the control room or open cabinets in the field to view or analyse data. The product can be networked over wired or wireless ethernet to deliver asset health information to authorised users through a PC or smartphone application.

To facilitate easy system integration with third-party systems, the product is said to be the first protection system to include a secure embedded OPC UA server.

The 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.
