• The Case Seismic Vibration Monitor is an essential component designed to ensure the reliability and protection of critical rotating machinery within industrial plants, particularly in applications like steam, gas, compressors, and hydro turbomachinery. Its primary function is to monitor the seismic vibration of the machinery case with high accuracy and reliability.Key features and functions of the Case Seismic Vibration Monitor include:1. **Compatibility:** It is designed to work seamlessly with electromechanical seismic transducers, commonly used in nuclear power applications.2. **Reliability:** Engineered for high reliability to safeguard the plant’s most critical machinery.3. **Integration:** It can be integrated with other CSI 6500 monitors to create a comprehensive API 670 machinery protection monitor.4. **Measurement:** The monitor accurately measures case seismic vibration using velocity output type sensors, providing readings in mm/sec (or in/sec).5. **Sensor Technology:** It supports both traditional electromechanical sensors and newer piezoelectric-type sensors. While electromechanical sensors are older and external to the system, piezoelectric sensors offer internal integration from acceleration to velocity, thus providing a more modern and streamlined approach.6. **Backward Compatibility:** The monitor is backward-compatible with electromechanical sensors, allowing for easy replacement and upgrades in the field.7. **Monitoring and Protection:** It continuously monitors vibration parameters and compares them against predefined alarm setpoints. When vibrations exceed these thresholds, it triggers alarms and relays to prevent potential machinery failures.The CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor, of which the Case Seismic Vibration Monitor is a part, integrates with PlantWeb® and AMS Suite. PlantWeb offers integrated machinery health information alongside process control systems like Ovation® and DeltaV™, while AMS Suite provides maintenance personnel with advanced diagnostic tools for predictive and performance-based maintenance decisions.This comprehensive system ensures that both operations and maintenance teams have the necessary tools and information to optimize machinery performance, detect potential issues early, and prevent costly downtime.
