Emerson Vibration Transmitter for Continuous Monitoring

Emerson Process Management has released the CSI 9330 vibration transmitter, which can interface with existing control and monitoring systems while allowing users to drive for improvements in machine reliability.

Once installed, it converts the analog output of an ICP accelerometer into a 4-20mA signal, proportional to monitored vibration, and also delivers patented PeakVue measurements that provide additional insight into the condition of rotating element bearings and gear boxes.

The vibration information is transmitted to any plant’s PLC, SCADA or control system. Two configurations are available: the CSI 9330VP provides overall vibration and PeakVue data when connected to a standard accelerometer. The CSI 9330VT provides vibration and temperature data when connected to an accelerometer with an embedded temperature capability.
