company’s latest addition is an update to its AMS suite: Machinery Health Manager software. The new CSI 6500 protection system communicates additional prediction data to allow users to make real-time decisions on operating their critical assets.
What’s new here is that users receive periodic parameter trends and spectrum/ waveform data delivered at specific intervals. This data is particularly useful for determining the health of sleeve bearings on turbo machinery. This automated process for acquiring prediction data eliminates the need to connect to buffered outputs on the protection system and reduces the risk of inadvertently causing a machine trip.
AMS Machinery Manager integrates data from route-based, online and wireless vibration solutions as well as third-party oil and infrared analysis data to provide a complete picture of machinery health.
ABB is also focused on the diagnostic aspect of smart metering technology with the launch of a new package of remote services for gearless mill drives (GMDs). GMDbeat and GMDfit anticipate the behaviour of grinding assets by analysing the past and the present to predict the future by utilising system health checks, on-demand remote support and condition monitoring.
In the case of a critical machine condition a notification is still sent to ABB and the customer’s maintenance team. The incident is handled as a prioritised SupportLine case, even if no actual system failure occurs. So the two modules complement each other to ensure system availability and increase the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the GMD system.

Meanwhile Rockwell Automation’s focus is on making it easier for users to access their plant performance metrics and data analytics on digital devices. VantagePoint Mobile enables users to create displays and interact with data across any HTML5- compliant browser and mobile platforms, such as iOS and Android. Users can now easily log in to the VantagePoint system and automatically view web-based KPI content that is responsive to the device they are using – from smartphones to tablets to PCs.
No user-specific configurations created by network administrators or IT staff are required, enabling manufacturers to quickly bring on board more users and deliver value to increase productivity. l

of smart field products – and shows how much more data can be gleaned from what has been traditionally regarded as a fairly basic field instrument.
The latest addition to the SmartLine industrial transmitter family, the new device can measure the level and volume of liquids inside processing tanks up to 160ft in height. The transmitter also includes the online application validation tool.
