Emerson AMS 6500 ATG Machinery Protection System
Product positioning and core values
Product positioning: An integrated system of independent mechanical protection and predictive monitoring, designed specifically for critical rotating equipment in factories. It meets the safety protection requirements of API 670 standard and achieves fault early warning through embedded diagnostic functions to avoid unplanned downtime.
Core values:
Integrate protection and prediction functions without the need for additional deployment of independent systems, reducing costs;
Reduce the risk of false tripping and missed tripping, and improve the reliability of equipment operation;
Comprehensive monitoring requirements covering critical equipment to auxiliary equipment (BOP).
Adaptation scenarios: steam turbine generators, gas turbines, boiler feedwater pumps, offshore compressors, pipeline turbine compressors, chemical compressors, turbine exhausters, blowers, etc.
Core functions and technical features
(1) Protection function
Monitoring parameters: covering over 100 measurement types such as shaft vibration (displacement/velocity/acceleration), position (distance/rod clearance/rod drop/eccentricity), speed/key phase, pressure, temperature, etc;
Safety design:
Adopting 2oo3 voting logic to improve decision-making accuracy and reduce false tripping;
Module self health check, instrument health monitoring, external redundant power supply (hot swappable) to avoid leakage tripping;
Dual channel module design, replacing the module only affects 2 channels, in compliance with API 670 requirements;
Redundant communication design ensures that operators have real-time access to the health status of the equipment.
(2) Predictive diagnostic function
Key Explanation of Function Types
Embedded diagnostic order analysis (including peak and phase), analysis of 8 programmable filtering frequency bands, band energy, time waveform, spectrum, trend chart PeakVue ™ technology
PeakVue ™ Technology focuses on impact signals, identifies rolling bearing and gearbox faults in advance, and captures potential cracks in turbomachinery in real time
Advanced prediction (optional) After activating the prediction license, high-resolution waveform/spectrum analysis and transient recording can be achieved through AMS Machine Works software, supporting multiple professional spectra (orbit map, Bode map, etc.)
Transient recording with a maximum sampling rate of 96kHz and a maximum recording time of 320s (1172Hz), supports event/timing/manual triggering
(3) Communication and software support
Communication interface:
Standard protocol: OPC UA (plug and play, high reliability, multi platform support) Modbus TCP/IP、Modbus RTU;
Synchronization function: SNTP time synchronization ensures data time consistency;
Local interfaces: USB, TCP (Rack Communication).
Software tools:
Machine Studio: Configuration software, intuitive interface, supports system configuration, module function definition, trip logic development, real-time display of prediction results;
AMS Machine Works: Advanced analysis software that supports bearing/gear analysis, multiple professional graph generation, reads ATG system data and processes it uniformly;
ATG View mobile app: QR code scanning (QRC) access, remote viewing of device health status, alarm information, module status, without the need for on-site unboxing.
