Machinery Health
Management

Machinery Health Management is a process by which the condition of rotating
machinery is measured and assessed, using the results to improve overall
plant operations.

The estimation of machinery health allows plant personnel to know the
condition of the rotating process machinery, which allows for better planning
of operating and maintenance activities. This can have a significant impact on
improving plant operations leading to the optimal use of these plant assets.

The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter is an intelligent field device that
can measure aspects of a motor-pump machine train and convert the
measured data into analytical results. These results are communicated to the
plant's process automation system via the industry standard F
fieldbus communications protocol. This provides unprecedented “live” access
to the actual machinery health condition of motor-pump assets.

OUNDATION

Optimized Solution The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter is an optimized solution. It has

been designed for deployment on machine trains composed of AC induction
motors coupled to single-stage centrifugal pumps - one of the most common
machinery configurations in all process industries.

1-1

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

By focusing on this specific application, the entire analysis process has been
tailored to the specific needs of motor-pump machine trains. An embedded
analysis engine, along with analysis rules that are particular to motor-pump
machine trains, identifies problems developing in the machine and derives
values representing the health of the individual machine components and the
machine train as a whole.

The analysis results are sent to the process automation system in the form of
F

OUNDATION fieldbus block alarms and can be interpreted by Emerson

Process Management host systems as PlantWeb Alerts. Machinery Health
values are delivered to the process automation system using standard Analog
Input (AI) or Multiple Analog Input (MAI) F

The Machinery Health values are related to the ability of the machine train to
continue performing at its expected capacity. As the health degrades, action
on the part of operations or maintenance should be taken to restore the
machine train to optimum condition.

Changes in health may be related to subtle variations in the process, and a
benefit of the CSI 9210 is the opportunity to correlate changes in process
conditions to changes in machinery health. Trending the health values over
time and comparing the changes in health with changes in other process
variables supports awareness of the true impact of the process on the rotating
machinery.

CSI 9210 Machinery
Health Transmitter:
Operation & Use

To facilitate this optimized solution, the CSI 9210 comes fully factory
configured. The factory settings provide for a specific installation procedure,
which ensures that the CSI 9210's monitoring of the machine train will be
successful. The sensors which are installed on the machine train have been
selected by the factory for optimum analytical benefit and should not be
altered in the field. The success of the analysis logic depends on the sensors
being installed correctly.

The next six sections will answer the following questions:

1. Why should I monitor the condition of my rotating process machinery?

2. What is a CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter?

3. How does the CSI 9210 fit in with the PlantWeb architecture?

4. How can CSI 9210s help keep my plant running, and running better?

5. What is the CSI 9210 actually doing?

6. Why do CSI 9210s report more slowly than some other devices?

1) The condition of the rotating process machinery is an integral part of
the overall process.

Down time is lost production time, and unscheduled stoppage is particularly
expensive. It may be relatively easy to replace an electric motor, but if it
happens to fail unexpectedly, it can still result in lost production and revenue.

Rotating machinery, such as pumps, fans, and compressors, are the
backbone of almost every process. Often 60 - 80% or more of the operating
equipment in a given plant falls into this category.

1-2

The individual pieces of equipment may not be considered expensive enough
on their own to make monitoring worthwhile, but their true value is related to
where they are located in the production process - i.e., what depends on their
uninterrupted operation.

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

To minimize unexpected outages, some plants perform condition monitoring
on large and/or expensive machines such as turbines. They may also perform
condition monitoring on any machines identified as being essential or
important to the plant's operation.

The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter creates a new category of
automated predictive continuous monitoring systems by deploying a
field-installable device with sensors that are permanently mounted at the
location of the machinery being monitored. This automated continuous
predictive technique also offers a cost-effective way to make condition
monitoring an integral part of the production process and to provide timely
feedback to operations personnel about available production capacity.

This method provides broader coverage and more effective screening than
can be achieved otherwise. It allows the specially trained condition monitoring
personnel of a plant to focus on those machines which actually need attention
rather than on the process of routine data collection and analysis.

• Mechanical downtime is often one of the most significant sources of

lost production in process plants and, in some plants, can account for

one-third of total maintenance costs.

• Machinery Health Management programs increase asset availability by

assessing the condition of machinery, thus allowing repair activities to

be scheduled and performed only when needed.

• Emerson's Machinery Health Management business specializes in

products and services for assessing the condition of mechanical

rotating machinery.

• The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter is an intelligent field

device that has embedded analysis expertise and is an enabling

technology to help improve both maintenance and operations work

processes.

2) The CSI 9210 automatically monitors the condition of rotating
machinery.

Plants measure many aspects of a production process. Temperature, flow,
pressure and other measurements allow operators to guide all aspects of
making products safely and successfully. These values are regularly trended
and monitored to help tune processes for better efficiency.

One measurement that has been missing is information about the condition of
the process support equipment itself. The CSI 9210 is an intelligent
field-installable device which acts as a “health transducer” to calculate and
provide rotating machinery condition information to the process control
system over F

The CSI 9210 makes a number of measurements from multiple permanently
mounted sensors and analyzes them according to common fault patterns.
The device then determines the apparent severity of any faults identified as
present or in the process of developing.

Using those conclusions, the CSI 9210 produces a single composite value
representing the health of the machine relative to itself; i.e., a health value
near 1.0 (100%) means the machine is running perfectly and is ready to fully
support the process. A value of 0.5 (50%) is an indication that the machine
condition is seriously degraded and needs maintenance urgently.

OUNDATION fieldbus just like any other field measurement.

By having Machinery Health condition information available in a simple format
similar to a flow rate or temperature, it is easier to trend and correlate with
other process values. It can also be included in production batch scheduling,
process tuning, and asset management functions.

Traditional condition monitoring techniques produce large quantities of data
which require analysis by specially trained personnel to produce any useful
information. The CSI 9210 performs this “data reduction” in the device itself
and only reports its conclusions - which are immediately usable by operations
and production management personnel. The CSI 9210 is always monitoring
the machinery and can quickly report the effects of process changes as
feedback to the operations personnel.

3) The CSI 9210 integrates seamlessly into PlantWeb.

The PlantWeb digital plant architecture from Emerson Process Management
provides a modern digital control environment for automating processes and
managing the assets involved in those processes.

The CSI 9210 fully supports this architecture by producing PlantWeb Alerts for
operator notification. It produces alerts regarding the operating condition of
the CSI 9210 monitoring device itself; it also sends specialized alerts
whenever it recognizes any fault condition patterns developing in the rotating
machinery being monitored.

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

The reporting severity of the alerts directly relates to the calculated Machinery
Health values and the urgency of the condition as determined by the CSI
9210 device.

Device condition notifications

The CSI 9210 produces PlantWeb Alerts for any condition which is
preventing it from producing reliable results. This includes sensor failures,
excessive temperature, communications problems, etc.

Rotating machinery condition notifications

The primary function of the CSI 9210 is to produce PlantWeb Alerts about
the condition of the rotating machinery it is monitoring. These alerts are
handled by the process control system just like alerts from any other field
device.

Urgency

The alerts are sent with a priority intended to indicate the urgency of

the detected situation. Advisory and Maintenance alerts may not even

be routed to the operators' workstations.

Help and Recommended Actions

Within the PlantWeb architecture, there are standard mechanisms for

responding to alerts. Among these are detailed help files describing the

conditions which may produce the particular alert, and simplified

“Recommended Actions” which help identify the next steps to be taken.

1-4

Severity and Appropriate response

The CSI 9210 uses the PlantWeb Alert severity to give an indication of the
seriousness of an existing or developing problem.

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Advisory alerts are an indication that significant change has been
detected. It is an “early warning” about conditions that are affecting the
monitored machine and which, if they continue, will result in more serious
degradation.

Maintenance alerts should be considered an indication to schedule a
closer look by trained personnel and possibly take corrective action. The
lower the component or overall health values, the sooner this should be
done.

Failed alerts are an indication of serious degradation and possible
imminent failure of the machine being monitored. Trained personnel
should investigate immediately and, depending on the product being
manufactured, action should be taken by the operator to safeguard the
process.

Managing production

The availability of machine condition information enables the plant

production managers and operators to make informed decisions about

the level of production capacity available.

Overriding business concerns can always take precedence over the

equipment health, but having this information available enables any

such decisions to be made on an informed basis where the potential

consequences can be taken into consideration.

Scheduling maintenance

By installing and using CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitters on

applicable machines, the maintenance personnel can utilize the output

as a pre-screening facility to better schedule maintenance. Advisory

and Maintenance alerts can be routed directly to the maintenance

department for their convenience.

4) The CSI 9210 helps me optimize my process by correlating machinery
health to process conditions.

By actively measuring the condition of machinery which is fundamental to
running a process, the plant can operate more reliably. The measurements
made by the CSI 9210 enable a plant to use feedback about machinery
condition in a timely manner as a process tuning parameter.

By trending the health values over time, across multiple shifts, it is possible to
see which products or operating conditions are most strongly affecting the
condition of the process machinery. The practice of tuning a process for
efficiency can now include machinery condition and reliability as part of the
equation.

Instead of simply running “according to spec,” operators and production
managers can actually see how the process is affecting the machinery during
production. They can make informed decisions about whether to back off,
continue as usual, or even increase throughput.

5)The CSI 9210 makes measurements from multiple sensor types.

1-5

As rotating machinery operates, various physical measurements can provide
an indication of the machinery condition. The CSI 9210 makes many of these
measurements and compares the results to fault condition patterns to make a
determination about the current and developing condition of the machine.

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Most of the measurements are not reported independently, but rather are
combined to create the composite health values which are published as
analog I/O channels.

There are actually four (4) Machinery Health values available corresponding
to the three primary components of a typical monitored machine (motor,
coupling, and pump) and an overall value for the machine train as a whole.

Vibration (Accelerometers)

Vibration measurements give an indication of how much the machine is
moving relative to its resting position. As bearings wear out; if components
are misaligned or unbalanced; as mounting fasteners loosen, etc. the
machinery is able to move. This movement will cause additional stress
wear which allows the movements to get even larger, and so on.

By measuring the movements and watching for increases the CSI 9210
can give an indication of how the machine condition is degrading. These
measurements are made only when the CSI 9210 determines the machine
is actually running.

Magnetic Flux (Flux Coil)

As an AC electric motor operates, it generates a field of magnetic flux. This
field can be detected and measured to determine when the motor is
actually running, and it can also give an indication of whether any electrical
problems are developing within the motor.

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

Speed (Tachometer)

Many potential rotating machinery problems are identified more easily
when the rotating speed is known. Tachometers provide a simple and
reliable means for measuring the rotating speed of a machine for use in
determining what fault conditions may be present or developing.

The CSI 9210 can publish the measured speed as an analog I/O channel.
If a tachometer is installed, this speed is available to the control system as
an Analog Input (AI) function block.

Temperature (Thermistor)

Thermal measurements are used to give an indication of how “harsh” the
operating environment is and what effects it may have on the projected
failure modes of the machinery being monitored.

The temperature measurements occur whether the motor is running or not,
since one reason the motor may not be running is a seized bearing which
can cause the heat to continue to rise.

Ambient

This temperature measurement is used to evaluate the environment

where the motor is operating. It needs to be mounted in “similar

conditions” near the motor; i.e., if the motor is in shade or sun the

ambient sensor should also be in shade or sun as appropriate.

Motor Surface

The surface temperature of the motor is compared to the ambient

environment temperature to determine whether the motor is “running

hot.” This may indicate clogged inlets or possible problems in the rotor

and/or stator. Increased temperature can cause the winding insulation

to degrade which in turn can shorten motor life and may cause internal

electrical shorts.

1-6

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Auxiliary

Two (2) additional temperature inputs are available for customer use.

These are not general thermocouple inputs, they are only suitable for

use with thermistors of the same type as are used for the ambient and

motor surface temperatures.

A reasonable use of these inputs would be to measure temperatures of

one or two bearing locations. Any sensors on these channels are not

included in the analysis process and are provided purely for

convenience.

6) The CSI 9210 collects and processes data quickly, but reports the
results only after the analysis is complete.

The measurements being made by the CSI 9210 are very different from those
made by most typical field devices, and this has some natural consequences
for performance.

A typical temperature transmitter may sample its thermocouple input
anywhere from 1 - 1000 times each second. This is quite reasonable since the
actual temperature is unlikely to change very quickly in most cases.

The fluctuations in machine position that we term “vibration” may happen at
rates in excess of 20,000 per second (20kHz). The CSI 9210 samples and
accumulates all of its vibration sensor channels more than 100,000 times per
second (100kHz) to ensure that it faithfully captures the machine's
movements.

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

However, many of the machine attributes change much more slowly and
require that data be taken over a fairly long period of time. This results in large
quantities of data that must be processed to extract the features of interest
which can help identify particular fault conditions. As a result, the cycle time of
the CSI 9210 is approximately thirty (30) seconds.

This means that it won't produce a new conclusion for at least 30 seconds
after the previous one. Furthermore, to minimize the likelihood of “false calls,”
the CSI 9210 may combine tentative conclusions in order to decide whether a
condition is truly present, and so multiple cycles may actually be required to
produce a new health reading.

This is quite normal; a skilled analyst making the same measurements
manually would take several minutes just to collect the data for later analysis.

Advisory Monitoring vs. Control

It is essential to keep in mind that the CSI 9210 is performing an advisory
monitoring task. The values it produces are not suitable for closed-loop
control in typical process control timeframes.

These values represent snapshots of machinery condition in time. They indicate which
machinery may need maintenance attention in a timely manner and are useful for trending
and correlation with the values of other process variables.

Summary The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter is a powerful system for

continuously monitoring AC induction motors and single-stage centrifugal
pumps. The CSI 9210 is an intelligent field device that measures vibration,
temperature, motor flux and shaft speed of a motor-pump machine train and
then uses an embedded analysis engine to provide analysis results.

The analysis results are delivered to a process automation system in the form
of analog Machinery Health values and PlantWeb Alerts. While this device is
an integral part of Emerson Process Management's digital control architecture
of intelligent field devices known as PlantWeb, it can be used with any
F

OUNDATION fieldbus compatible host system.

INTRODUCTION The CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter works in conjunction with

multiple sensors (accelerometers, tachometers, flux coils). In this chapter we
will discuss a few of these sensors. We will also provide a brief outline of
thermistors. If you are unfamiliar with which sensor to use, you should have a
trained installer do the work.

NOTE

Your 9210 package may not have every sensor discussed here. What you
have will depend on which package you purchased.

Cable Shielding
Requirements

The cables are already shielded and require no other electronic shielding.
Running the sensor cables in conduit may be desired by the plant, but it is not
required by the CSI 9210.

A0322AJ Accelerometer Description

Some applications may be in environments where the normal polyurethane
covering is not fully able to protect the sensor cables. Some high-activity or
chemical environments can easily cut, dissolve, or corrode the cable covering
and expose the sensor wires. In these environments, the CSI A0322AJ
armor-jacketed accelerometer will better protect the sensor cables.

The A0322AJ is contained in a steel housing with an armored covered jacket.
It is a general purpose accelerometer with an integral cable connection and
an armored jacketed cable. The cable connection joins the sensor housing at
a 90-degree angle to provide a low-profile installation. This accelerometer can
be mounted both radially and axially on the motor or pump to be monitored.

V425 Tachometer Description

The V425 Passive Magnetic Pickup is an industrial sensor used to measure
the rotational speed of machinery. The sensor is commonly used to sense an
actuator (target) on a rotating shaft giving a once per revolution trigger.

Figure 2-4. Outline drawing and
image of V425 tachometer.

Handling

The V425 is unique in that it is the only piece of system instrumentation that is
installed near moving machinery (typically, a rotating shaft). Therefore, it is
important to observe clearances between the sensor and the target as well as
cable clearances.

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

The V425 can be damaged if proper clearance is not maintained between sensor and
actuator. It is important to follow installation procedures to set proper clearance.

CSI 343 Flux Coil Description

The 343 is designed to measure flux generated by electric motors. The flux
coil eliminates most needs for current clamp measurements, and captures
flux signals to provide an electrical “quality” signature.

This electrical signature is sensitive to conditions which alter the electrical
characteristics of the motor, such as broken rotor bars, eccentricity, imbalance
between phases, and stator faults. Consistent placement of a flux coil on the
axial outboard end of the motor is critical for obtaining reliable and trendable
maintenance information. A nonflexible, hardened casing protects the coil and
assures optimum performance in the field.

CSI 41501 Thermistors Description

Excessive and prolonged heat is the main factor responsible for shortening
the life expectancy of machinery, such as motors or pumps. Abnormal
temperatures can point to several potential problems such as:

• overloading

• overheating due to poor air flow or unbalanced voltage

• excessive duty cycles

• bearing failure

• shaft misalignment

• degradation in the rotor or stator

The two components most affected by excessive heat are the insulation
system and bearings. A general rule of thumb is that the thermal life of an
insulation system is halved for each 10°C (18° F) increase in exposure
temperature above the nameplate temperature. Higher temperatures also
reduce the viscosity of oil or grease in bearings causing bearings to fail
prematurely due to improper lubrication. Therefore, it is highly desirable to
detect excessive motor or pump temperatures and prevent extended periods
of operation under such conditions. The CSI 9210 calculates excessive
temperatures by measuring the surface temperature of the machinery and
subtracting the ambient temperature. The CSI 9210 uses two thermistors to
accomplish this.

General Sensor Handling
Instructions

The vibration channels use accelerometers, which require a DC bias. The
9210 device provides the necessary bias and measures it to verify correct
sensor operation. The optimal bias voltage is 9 - 12 volts. If the bias voltage is
outside of the 8 - 14 volt range, the device generates a “DC Bias”
Maintenance PlantWeb Alert (PWA). The DC input range represents the
operational DC range of the signal input. DC values outside of this range
cause a “DC Saturation” Failed PWA. The AC input range represents the
operational AC range of the signal input. AC values outside of this range
cause an “AC Saturation” Advisory PWA.

General purpose sensors are susceptible to mechanical shock; therefore it is
important for installation technicians to use care when handling sensors. Do
not drop, hammer, or impact the sensor housing before, during, or after
installation. For example, mechanical shock loads of over 5000 g’s can
damage accelerometers and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Do not drop, hammer, or impact sensor housing before, during, or after installation.

.

Do not exceed specified torque when tightening a stud-mounted sensor
(accelerometer). Over-tightening an accelerometer will damage the sensing element
and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Although the integral cable has built-in strain relief, do not use excessive force
when pulling cable. No more than 5-lbs. of force should be exerted directly on
the sensor connection during installation. It is recommended that the cable be
secured to the machine near the point of sensor installation if possible.

Do not exert more than 5-lbs. pull force directly on sensor/cable connection during wire
pulls.

For sensors (accelerometers) that have been mounted before pulling the
cable through the conduit or raceway to the junction box, leave the cable
bundled and secured to the machine. Permanent signal degradation takes
place when cables are damaged. Do not step on, kink, twist or pinch cables.
Also take note of the placement of the cable bundle. Do not place bundles in a
manner causing strain at the sensor/cable connection.

Preferred Method of
Mounting Acclerometers

Drill and Tap (Stud Mount)

The preferred method of mounting sensors to a machine is the drill and tap
(stud mount) method. Drill and tap (stud) mounting is preferred because it
provides increased reliability, improved bandwidth response, and increased
sensitivity.

This method of mounting to a machine is to drill into the machinery, tap the
hole, insert the mounting stud, and directly mount the sensor to the surface of
the machine.

Epoxy Mounting

If the machinery cannot have a hole drilled into it, the epoxy mounting method
is acceptable, though the sensor performance is not as good. The epoxy
mounting method involves gluing a mounting pad to the machinery and
attaching the sensor to the pad.

NOTE

While accelerometers are sensors, not all sensors are accelerometers. For
example, a thermistor is a sensor, but not an accelerometer. A flux coil is also
a sensor, but not an accelerometer. Installation of thermistors and flux coils is
discussed later in the this section. For general information on sensors,
including accelerometers, see Section 2.

Tools and Supplies Below is a list of required tools and parts necessary to install the

accelerometers.

the surface area.

3. Keeping the spot face and end milling tool perpendicular to the machine

surface, drill into mounting location until face has a minimum finish of 63
micro inches (.063 mils). This will require the spot facing tool to remove
approximately 0.04 inches (40 mils) from the face. The surface should be
smooth to the touch with no noticeable irregularities. The process is
illustrated in Figure 3-3.

NOTE

If the spot face is not uniform on all sides, this is an indication that the spot
face tool was not perpendicular to mounting surface (Figure 3-4) and will not
allow the sensor to be mounted properly.

Secure Cabling 1. Secure the accelerometer cable to the machine approximately 4 to 5

inches from the mounting location using an appropriate size cable clamp.
Do not curl into a bending radius of less than 2.8 inches. Refer to Figure
3-7 for an illustration.

2. If pulling cable is not currently scheduled, it will be necessary to secure

the bundled sensor cables in such a manner that no strain is placed on
the integral sensor/cable connectors. Do not allow bundled cable to hang
from the sensors. Prevent damage to exposed cable such as on plant
floors, maintenance access areas, footholds and the like.

V425 TACHOMETER A tachometer, or “tach,” is used to generate periodic “pulse” that is

proportional to the turning speed of the machine. The V425 should be
mounted orthogonally in close proximity with the rotating shaft such that,
when the shaft rotates, a physical portion of the shaft “actuates” the sensor as
it passes by. In practice, this “actuator” is usually a coupling bolt or a shaft
keyway.

Actuator

If the chosen actuator has a dimension that is greater than about 0.5 inches it
is necessary to round the edges of the actuator to prevent erroneous
measurement as illustrated in Figure 3-8.

Figure 3-8. Modifying large
actuators

Actuator Material

The actuator must be made of a metallic material with a high permeability.
Ideal actuators are soft iron, cold-rolled steel and #400 stainless steel.

Be sure that the rotating equipment is not running and will not begin running during installation of
the tachometer.

V425 Mounting Sensor Bracket

A universal mounting bracket is included with the tachometer that will fit a
variety of applications. If the included bracket will not work, then the installer
will have to fabricate a custom bracket.

1. Turn the machinery shaft so that the actuator is at the mounting location.

2. Place the sensor in mounting bracket and screw the sensor into the

bracket exposing equal amount of threads on back and front of the
mounting bracket.

3. Place the sensor/bracket assembly into the mounting location and center

the sensor pole piece over the actuator. Mark hole locations on the
bracket.

4. Drill and tap the hole locations for the appropriately sized bolt to fit 0.250

inch (250 mil) opening on mounting bracket. Critical bracket dimensions
are shown in Figure 3-9.

NOTE

The machinery must be turned off to mount and then turned on to test. The
tach should be mounted about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch from the actuator.

V425 Mounting Sensor

1. Screw the locking nut onto the sensor and thread completely onto the

sensor.

2. Screw the sensor into the mounting bracket until the sensor pole piece

contacts the actuator.

3. Back the sensor off 1 full turn and, holding the sensor in place, thread the

locking nut against the mounting bracket. Torque to 15 ft.-lbs.

4. Slowly turn the shaft at least a complete revolution and confirm that the

actuator is not contacting the sensor. If the sensor is contacting the
actuator or any part of the shaft, then repeat step 3 after loosening the
lock nut.

5. Run the machine at full speed and confirm that the sensor is not

contacting the actuator. Let the machine reach normal operating
temperature and run it through all operational speeds.

6. Observe the machinery during coastdown and confirm that the sensor is

not contacting the actuator.

7. Cover the exposed connector threads with the included protective cap to

prevent contamination.

A flux coil should be axially mounted with wire ties or screwed into mounting
pads that should be attached to the motor in a manner similar to stud
mounting accelerometers. Three steel sensor pads (CSI 901) should be
mounted axially to the outboard end of the motor. The flux coil can then be
stud mounted to these sensor pads.

If the flux coil cannot be centered precisely over the outboard bearing, place it
as close to center as can be achieved.

NOTE

Ensure that there is no movement in the flux coil and that the coil does not
vibrate excessively.

The flux coil comes with a 30-foot cable.

THERMISTORS

Locations Machinery Surface Thermistor

To improve the CSI 9210's ability to detect abnormal temperature conditions,
the motor surface thermistor should be located where the major temperature
source is from the motor itself, and other influencing factors are minimized.
The surface temperature of a motor is a function of the motor loading, solar
loading, ambient air temperature, and other environmental factors such as
wind speed and direction (if the motor is located outside).

The thermistor should be located on one of the warmer flat (or as flat as
possible) spots on the motor's surface, preferably near the center of the
motor, protected from sun and wind.

In general, the warmest spots on a motor will be where the mass is greatest
and airflow is smallest. For open enclosure motors the warmest section is
generally in the middle; while the warmest section on totally enclosed motors
(TEFC motors) is somewhere between the middle and the end furthest from
the fan. Temperatures may also vary around the circumference of the motor
because of air flow patterns within the motor and because the distances
between the stator and shell of a motor are not the same around the total
circumference. Finally, the motor's surface temperature is also affected by
solar loading from the sun.

Figure 3-12. Example of motor
surface thermistor placement.

3-15

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Ambient Temperature Thermistor

As stated above, ambient temperature influences the motor surface
temperature. In order to remove the effects of ambient air on the temperature
analysis, the CSI 9210 uses a thermistor that should be mounted in a
separate location near the motor (e.g., on the CSI 9210 housing bracket). As
with the motor surface thermistor, the ambient thermistor should be located
where the effects of exposure to sunlight and wind are minimized, if possible.

Ideally, it should be located close enough to the motor such that is exposed to
the same environment and far enough away such that the heat from the motor
does not skew the reading.

CABLING

Introduction This section covers conduit installation guidelines, network cabling guidelines,

power line specifications, and pulling the online instrumentation cabling.

All wiring should be installed by a trained and qualified electrician. Wiring must conform
to all applicable local codes and regulations. Local codes and regulations regarding wire
type, wire size, color codes, insulation voltage ratings, and any other standards must be
followed.

Conduit Installation
Guidelines

Figure 3-13. Conduit attaches to
threaded holes in bottom of CSI

9210.

NOTE

If conduit is used, all conduit must be bonded to earth ground and adhere to
IEEE 1100 specifications for grounding.

1. The conduit must be sized so that it does not exceed a 40 percent fill.

2. Effort should be made to route conduit away from power trays using the

following guidelines:

6" ... 110VAC

12" ... 220VAC

2’ ... 440VAC

3. Conduit attaches to CSI 9210 from the bottom of the enclosure as shown

in Figure 3-13 and Figure 3-14.

Pull Instrumentation
Wiring

Description

The instrumentation wiring is a polyurethane jacketed, twisted pair, shielded,
instrumentation cable used to transmit millivolt level instrumentation signals to
the system. The cable is designed to provide noise shielding and protection
within harsh industrial environments. The sensor’s wire is pulled into the lower
chamber of the CSI 9210 enclosure. Because the distance of the sensors to
the lower chamber of the CSI 9210 enclosure is relatively short (<10 feet) and
close to the machinery, it is not normally enclosed in conduit although conduit
may be required for specific applications. Care must be taken to ensure that
exposed cabling is secured to machinery and plant infrastructure so as to not
interfere with maintenance or cause safety hazards.

Cable Variations

There are three variations (see Figure 3-15) of instrumentation cable which
are used in the system:

A. 2 Conductor, Single Twisted-Pair Polyurethane Cable Integrated

into Sensor

B. 2 Conductor, Single Twisted-Pair Armored Cable Integrated into

Sensor

C. 2 Conductor, Single Twisted-Pair Polyurethane Cable With 2-Pin

Mil Splash Proof Connector.

instrumentation cables

Required Tools & Parts

1. cable tie downs

2. wire labels

3. dielectric grease

Installation

If pulling cable though conduit, pull force should not exceed 25lbs. Excessive force will
deform twisted pair and degrade performance of cable.

NOTE

Matching wire labels must be placed on both ends of each cable.

Cables must be secured to plant infrastructure in such a manner that no safety hazards
are created from plant personnel tripping on or catching slack cable on clothing or tool
belt, etc.

1. Label the cables on both ends using plant approved wire labels. Wire

label designations must be the same on both ends of the cable.

2. Choose a physical path for the sensor cable pull using the following

guidelines:

a) Remain at least 6 inches from 110VAC, 12 inches from 220VAC,

and 24 inches from 440VAC power lines.

b) Do not pull the cable across machinery maintenance access

areas: guards, shields, access panels.

c) Do not pull the cable in machinery control/starting cable trays.

d) Do not run any cable on the floor.

3-19

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

e) Do not run the cable near pathways where it will be exposed to

damage from moving machinery.

3. Starting at the sensor housing, secure the cable in 2-foot intervals to

machinery and plant infrastructure using cable tie downs.

4. The cable should be pulled through an existing PGME07 cord grip.

Tighten the cord grip with 9/16” wrench until cable is secure. (Do not
overtighten.) Blunt cut the cable leaving approximately 4 inches in box
and relabel the wire. If using armored cable, remove armor before pulling
through box by snipping the end of the armor with a pair of wire cutters
and unraveling the length to be removed. Cut the armor off with wire
cutters and use heat shrink to seal the end of the armor.

Power The CSI 9210 is an intelligent field device measuring millivolt level instrument

signals. Therefore, the quality of the power provided is very important.
Although the CSI 9210 contains input protection and some degree of line
conditioning, it is important for the plant to follow specific guidelines when
running power to the CSI 9210 enclosure.

NOTE

Contractors should adhere to the IEEE 1100 specification for powering and
grounding electronic equipment and machinery.

Fieldbus The CSI 9210 is a 4-wire fieldbus device, which means it requires a separate

connection for DC power and fieldbus. This section describes the guidelines
and the procedure for connecting the 9210 to the fieldbus. It is not intended to
be an exhaustive discussion of fieldbus technology. Refer to the specifications
available from the Fieldbus Foundation for details of installing, configuring,
and managing a fieldbus network.

Fieldbus Wiring Fundamentals

Fieldbus installations use a single twisted-pair cable, also called a bus or
trunk, to connect multiple devices. The cable, connected devices, and
supporting components are called a segment. Devices connect to the fieldbus
either individually or in groups. If they connect through individual spurs
branching off the main trunk, the result is called a branch layout or topology. A
bus with spurs connected to the trunk in close groups is called a tree layout. A
single segment can have both branches and trees, as long as a few rules are
followed for total segment length, length of drops, total device count, and
segment current draw. Key limits, along with typical values, are shown in
Table 3-3.

Table 3-3. Key Segment Limits
and Typical Values

Table 3-4. Example of
limitations for segment lengths.

Key Segment Limits Typical Values

16 devices, maximum, without a repeater 4 - 16 devices

8 mA minimum current draw per device 8.5 mA, for a 4-wire device

9 - 32 V DC 24 V DC

The length of a total fieldbus segment depends on the type of wire being
used.

For example, the maximum wire length is 1900 meters (6232 feet) if typical
instrument grade wire (individually shielded twisted pairs) is used. The
maximum length drops to 200 meters (656 feet) if using just two unshielded,
untwisted wires. Table 3-4 lists some example segment length limitations for
various wire types. For a complete list of wire lengths across various wire
types, consult the fieldbus specification.

Typ e Description Size Maximum Length

A Individual shielded, twisted pair # 18 AWG 1900 m (6232 ft.)

B Multiple twisted pair, with overall shield # 22 AWG 1200 m (3963 ft.)

C Multiple twisted pair without shield # 26 AWG 400 m (1312 ft.)

D Two wires, untwisted, without shield # 16 AWG 200 m (656 ft.)

Total segment length is determined by adding the length of all the sections of
the segment. The total segment length must be within the maximum allowed
for the wire type(s) used. The total segment length is the sum of the lengths of
all the spurs plus the lengths of the main cables, or trunks. For type A wire,
the total must be less than 1900 meters, as shown in Table 3-4.

3-23

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Different wire types can be used on the same fieldbus segment as long as the
rules about how much of each type can coexist on the segment are followed.
The basic methodology for calculating maximum lengths is to take the ratio of
the length of each individual type of wire used to the maximum length for that
wire type (the result for each ratio is a value less than 1.0). Then sum all of the
ratio results for the segment, and the overall result must be less than 1.0. For
details regarding mixing wire types on the same segment, refer to the
F

OUNDATION fieldbus specification.

9210 Connection

The CSI 9210 connects to the fieldbus as a standard 4-wire device. Every
network topology is unique and the layout and configuration for the CSI 9210
is optimized by considering the intended operating environment. Most host
systems, such as Emerson Process Management's DeltaV system, provide
tools for tuning and optimizing your fieldbus network.

The physical fieldbus connection to the CSI 9210 device is made with a
two-pin, keyed connector, provided with the unit. It plugs into the right side of
the unit in the lower compartment (see Figure 3-20 on page 3-25). When the
fieldbus connector is plugged into the device, the orientation is as shown in
Figure 3-19. Insert the two fieldbus wires through the hole on the right-hand
side of the bottom of the unit. Strip the wires back about ¼" inch and insert
them into the bottom of the connector with the positive (+24V) wire on the
right, as shown in Figure 3-19. Tighten the screws to secure the wires in the
connector.

Generally, the use of the AI blocks is preferred over the use of the MAI blocks.
However, the use of the MAI blocks will optimize system and network load [if
more than four (4) channels are to be assigned].

One possible channel assignment scenario is shown below:

If the CSI 9210 MAI blocks are used, they must be configured to operate in
Enhanced mode. To select Enhanced mode, the CHANNEL parameter of the
MAI block must be set to a value of 2.

NOTE:

All channels assigned to a given MAI block must be reported in the same
units.

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

NOTE:

All unused MAI inputs must be set to 0 (Uninitialized) as shown below.

Modes The resource, transducer, and function blocks in the device use modes of

operation. These modes govern the operation of the block. Each block
supports both automatic (AUTO) and out of service (OOS) modes. Other
modes may also be supported.

4-2

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0
June 2005

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Changing Modes

To change the operating mode, set the MODE_BLOCK TARGET to the
desired mode. After a short delay, the parameter MODE_BLOCK ACTUAL
reflects the mode change if the block is operating properly.

Permitted Modes

It is possible to prevent unauthorized changes to the operating mode of a
block. To do this, configure MODE_BLOCK PERMITTED to allow only the
desired operating modes. Selection of OOS as one of the permitted modes is
always recommended.

Types of Modes

For the procedures described in this manual, it will be helpful to understand
the following modes:

Automatic (AUTO)

The functions performed by the block will execute. If the block has any
outputs, these will continue to update. This is typically the normal operating
mode.

Out of Service (OOS)

When a block is out of service, the functions performed by the block will not
execute. If the block has any outputs, these will typically not update and the
status of any values passed to downstream blocks will be “BAD.” To modify
certain configuration parameters of the block, its mode must be changed to
OOS (by setting the Target Mode to OOS). After the modifications are
complete, change the mode back to AUTO.

Manual (MAN)

In this mode, variables that are passed out of the block can be manually set
for testing or override purposes.

NOTE

When an upstream block is set to OOS, this will impact the output status of all
downstream blocks. The figure below depicts the hierarchy of blocks:

Resource Block BLOCK INDEX: 1000

The resource block defines the physical resources of the device including
type of measurements, memory, etc. The resource block also defines
functionality, such as shed times, that is common across multiple blocks. The
block has no linkable inputs or outputs

This is a dynamic, measured value representing the current temperature
reading of the thermistor embedded on the CPU Board located in the upper
chamber of the device enclosure.

Although this floating point value is technically unconstrained, it would be
rather unexpected for the value to fall outside the range of -40 to 302°F or -40
to 150°C.

The units will be in degrees Fahrenheit unless any of the temperature
parameters are attached to an AI Block with an XD_SCALE in degrees
Celsius.

MODEL

The MODEL parameter is a human-readable form of the standard
DEV_TYPE parameter from the Resource Block; the manufacturer's
identifying device tag for this particular variant of that device type.

This allows all CSI 9200 Series devices to share a common DEV_TYPE,
while still being able to make a differentiation between variants within the
device family.

VERSION

This parameter contains the encoded hardware and firmware revision.

MEMORY

This parameter indicates the amount of SDRAM memory installed on the CPU
Board of the CSI 9210 in units of bytes.

DC_READINGS

The DC_READINGS parameter is an array of sixteen (16) floating point
numbers that represent the current readings of the DC input channels. These
are the bias readings of the up to ten vibration sensors (powered
accelerometers), the four external thermistor sensors, and the two embedded
thermistors on the Termination Panel and the CPU Board.

The units for the bias readings are in volts, the units of the temperature
readings are in EGU as defined by the current state of the PREFER_METRIC
flag.

The array indices map to channels as follows:

6 Motor Outboard Vertical 14 Termination Panel Temperature

7 Pump Outboard Vertical 15 CPU Enclosure Temperature

AC_READINGS

The AC_READINGS parameter is an array of twelve floating point numbers
that represent the current RMS readings of the AC input channels. The first
two are from the flux and tachometer signals and are measured in volts; the
remaining ten are from the vibration sensors (powered accelerometers) and
are measured in g’s.

The array indices map to channels as follows:

OVERALL_HEALTH

This is a dynamic, calculated value produced by the analysis logic of the CSI

9210. It provides an indication of the current condition of the machinery being
monitored as a whole, as opposed to the individual components.

This floating point value has no units, and ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. If desired, it
can be easily converted to a percentage value by multiplying by 100. A health
of 0.0 would imply that at least one failure is currently detected and immediate
action is required. A health of 1.0 would imply that no alerts are active and no
degradation of any kind is currently detected.

CURRENT_SPEED

This is a dynamic, calculated value produced by the analysis logic of the CSI

9210. It provides an indication of the current operating speed of the driving
component of the machinery being monitored. The value is reported in Hz.

This floating point value is defined on the half–open interval [0,] and should
typically fall within the range defined by the parameter NORMAL_SPEED.

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

NORMAL_SPEED

Most machines operate within a particular speed range. This parameter
defines the boundaries of that band for this particular driver component.

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

The range is [0, max), where 0 <
values are defined in Hz.

TACH_RATIO

This parameter defines the relationship between the pulse rate delivered by
the tachometer and the actual turning speed. If a tachometer produces more
than one pulse per revolution, this value is used to recover the actual turning
speed frequency.

The open interval (0,) defines this floating point value. It is a factor, e.g., a 4:1
ratio would be entered as 0.25.

TACH_ON_DRIVEN

If a tachometer has been mounted near the driven end of the machinery train,
set this Boolean flag parameter to TRUE. Use the TACH_RATIO as normal,
but rather than using the COUPLING_RATIO to calculate the driven speed, it
will be used to calculate the driver speed.

By default, a tachometer is mounted near the driver end of the machinery
train, and the value of this parameter would remain FALSE.

Only one (1) of the eight (8) bits is actually defined. The parameter is treated
as a bit string.

COUPLING_HEALTH

This is a dynamic, calculated value produced by the analysis logic of the CSI

9210. It provides an indication of the current condition of the coupling
between the driving and driven components of the monitored machinery.

This floating point value has no units, and ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. If desired, it
can be easily converted to a percentage value by multiplying by 100. A health
of 0.0 would imply that at least one failure is currently detected and immediate
action is required. A health of 1.0 would imply that no alerts are active and no
degradation of any kind is currently detected.

COUPLING_RATIO

This is the ratio between the speed as measured on the driver side of the
coupling and the speed as measured on the driven side of the coupling.

If you measure the speed on the driver side and multiply by this factor the
same speed is derived (within reasonable tolerances) as if you had measured
the speed on the driven side.

The value is used to apply harmonics of turning speed (orders) to analysis
parameters being calculated across the coupling. Example:

4-32

Measured speed: 53 Hz

COUPLING_RATIO = 1.48

Driven speed used for analysis: 78.44 Hz

DD Methods The CSI 9210 provides two DD (Device Description) Methods that assist with

device configuration. The DD Methods are accessed from the block with
which they are associated.

Is Motor Running?

This DD Method is associated with the Resource Block (1000). It simply asks
the user whether or not the motor being monitored is currently running. For
most applications, the CSI 9210 can accurately make this determination as
configured from the factory. However, in some applications (especially when a
tachometer is not installed) the CSI 9210 needs to adjust certain operating
limits to track motor starts and stops accurately.

Bearing Calculator?

This DD Method is associated with both the Driver Transducer Block (1300)
and the Driven Transducer Block (1500). To perform certain advanced
bearing diagnostics, the CSI 9210 must know the characteristic frequencies
generated by the bearings being used in the motor and the pump. Although
there are times when these frequencies are not known, they may be
calculated from the physical characteristics of the bearings. This method asks
the user for the physical characteristics of the bearings being used and
calculates the frequencies needed by the CSI 9210.

OVERVIEW This appendix introduces fieldbus system concepts that are common to all

fieldbus devices.

INTRODUCTION A fieldbus system is a distributed system composed of field devices and

control and monitoring machinery integrated into the physical environment of
a plant or factory. Fieldbus devices work together to provide I/O and control
for automated processes and operations. The Fieldbus™ Foundation
provides a framework for describing these systems as a collection of physical
devices interconnected by a fieldbus network. One of the ways that the
physical devices are used is to perform their portion of the total system
operation by implementing one or more function blocks.

Function Blocks Function blocks within the fieldbus device perform the various functions

required for process control. Because each system is different, the mix and
configuration of functions are different. Therefore, the Fieldbus Foundation
has designed a range of function blocks, each addressing a different need.

Function blocks perform process control functions, such as analog input (AI)
and analog output (AO) functions as well as proportional-integral-derivative
(PID) functions. The standard function blocks provide a common structure for
defining function block inputs, outputs, control parameters, events, alarms,
and modes, and combining them into a process that can be implemented
within a single device or over the fieldbus network. This simplifies the
identification of characteristics that are common to function blocks.

A-1

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

The Fieldbus Foundation has established the function blocks by defining a
small set of parameters used in all function blocks called universal
parameters. The Foundation has also defined a standard set of function block
classes, such as input, output, control, and calculation blocks. Each of these
classes also has a small set of parameters established for it. They have also
published definitions for transducer blocks commonly used with standard
function blocks. Examples include temperature, pressure, level, and flow
transducer blocks.

The Foundation specifications and definitions allow vendors to add their own
parameters by importing and subclassing specified classes. This approach
permits extending function block definitions as new requirements are
discovered and as technology advances.

Figure A-1 illustrates the internal structure of a function block. When
execution begins, input parameter values from other blocks are snapped-in by
the block. The input snap process ensures that these values do not change
during the block execution. New values received for these parameters do not
affect the snapped values and will not be used by the function block during
the current execution.

Part # 97404, Rev 0

Figure A-1. Function Block Internal
Structure

1

Once the inputs are snapped, the algorithm operates on them, generating
outputs as it progresses. Algorithm executions are controlled through the
setting of contained parameters. Contained parameters are internal to
function blocks and do not appear as normal input and output parameters.
However, they may be accessed and modified remotely, as specified by the
function block.

Input events may affect the operation of the algorithm. An execution control
function regulates the receipt of input events and the generation of output
events during execution of the algorithm. Upon completion of the algorithm,
the data internal to the block is saved for use in the next execution, and the
output data is snapped, releasing it for use by other function blocks.

A-2

A block is a tagged logical processing unit. The tag is the name of the block.
System management services locate a block by its tag. Thus the service
personnel need only know the tag of the block to access or change the
appropriate block parameters.

Function blocks are also capable of performing short-term data collection and
storage for reviewing their behavior.

Device Descriptions Device Descriptions (DD) are specified tool definitions that are associated

with the function blocks. Device Descriptions provide for the definition and
description of the function blocks and their parameters.

To promote consistency of definition and understanding, descriptive
information, such as data type and length, is maintained in the device
description. Device Descriptions are written using an open language called
the Device Description Language (DDL). Parameter transfers between
function blocks can be easily verified because all parameters are described
using the same language. Once written, the device description can be stored
on an external medium, such as a CD-ROM or diskette. Users can then read
the device description from the external medium. The use of an open
language in the device description permits interoperability of function blocks
within devices from various vendors. Additionally, human interface devices,
such as operator consoles and computers, do not have to be programmed
specifically for each type of device on the bus. Instead their displays and
interactions with devices are driven from the device descriptions.

Device descriptions may also include a set of processing routines called
methods. Methods provide a mechanism for accessing and manipulating
parameters within a device.

BLOCK OPERATION In addition to function blocks, fieldbus devices contain two other block types

to support the function blocks. These are the resource block and the
transducer block. The resource block contains the hardware specific
characteristics associated with a device. Transducer blocks couple the
function blocks to local input/output functions.

Instrument-Specific
Function Blocks

Resource Blocks

Resource blocks contain the hardware specific characteristics associated with
a device; they have no input or output parameters. The algorithm within a
resource block monitors and controls the general operation of the physical
device hardware. The execution of this algorithm is dependent on the
characteristics of the physical device, as defined by the manufacturer. As a
result of this activity, the algorithm may cause the generation of events. For
example, when the mode of a resource block is “out of service,” it impacts all
of the other blocks. There is only one resource block defined for a device.

Transducer Blocks

Transducer blocks connect function blocks to local input/output functions.
They read sensor hardware and write to effector (actuator) hardware. This
permits the transducer block to execute as frequently as necessary to obtain
good data from sensors and ensure proper writes to the actuator without
burdening the function blocks that use the data. The transducer block also
isolates the function block from the vendor specific characteristics of the
physical I/O.

Alerts When an alert occurs, execution control sends an event notification and waits

a specified period of time for an acknowledgment to be received. If the
acknowledgment is not received within the pre-specified time-out period, the
event notification is retransmitted. This occurs even if the condition that
caused the alert no longer exists. This assures that alert messages are not
lost.

A-3

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Two types of alerts are defined for the block, events and alarms. Events are
used to report a status change when a block leaves a particular state, such as
when a parameter crosses a threshold. Alarms not only report a status
change when a block leaves a particular state, but also report when it returns
back to that state.

NETWORK
COMMUNICATION

Figure A-2. Simple, Single-Link
Fieldbus Network

Link Active Scheduler
(LAS)

Figure A-2 illustrates a simple fieldbus network consisting of a single segment
(link).

2

All links have one and only one Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS
operates as the bus arbiter for the link. The LAS does the following:

• recognizes and adds new devices to the link

• removes non-responsive devices from the link

• distributes Data Link (DL) and Link Scheduling (LS) time on the link.
Data Link Time is a network-wide time periodically distributed by the
LAS to synchronize all device clocks on the bus. Link Scheduling time
is a link-specific time represented as an offset from Data Link Time. It is
used to indicate when the LAS on each link begins and repeats its
schedule. It is used by system management to synchronize function
block execution with the data transfers scheduled by the LAS

• polls devices for process loop data at scheduled transmission times

• distributes a priority-driven token to devices between scheduled
transmissions.

A-4

Any device on the link may become the LAS, as long as it is capable. The
devices that are capable of becoming the LAS are called link master devices.
All other devices are referred to as basic devices. When a segment first starts
up, or upon failure of the existing LAS, the link master devices on the segment
bid to become the LAS. The link master that wins the bid begins operating as
the LAS immediately upon completion of the bidding process. Link masters
that do not become the LAS act as basic devices. However, the link masters
can act as LAS backups by monitoring the link for failure of the LAS and then
bidding to become the LAS when a LAS failure is detected.

Only one device can communicate at a time. Permission to communicate on
the bus is controlled by a centralized token passed between devices by the
LAS. Only the device with the token can communicate. The LAS maintains a
list of all devices that need access to the bus. This list is called the “Live List.”

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0
June 2005

Two types of tokens are used by the LAS. A time-critical token, Compel Data
(CD), is sent by the LAS according to a schedule. A non-time critical token,
pass token (PT), is sent by the LAS to each device in ascending numerical
order according to address.

There may be many Link Master (LM) devices on a segment but only the LAS
is actively controlling communication traffic. The remaining LM devices on the
segment are in a stand-by state, ready to take over if the primary LAS fails. A
secondary LM device becomes the primary LAS if it recognizes that the
primary LAS device fails. This is achieved by constantly monitoring the
communication traffic on the bus and determining if activity is not present.
Since there can be multiple LM devices on the segment when the primary
LAS fails, the device with the lowest node address (described below) will
become the primary LAS and take control of the bus. Using this strategy,
multiple LAS failures can be handled with no loss of the LAS capability of the
communications bus.

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Device Addressing Fieldbus uses addresses between 0 and 255. Addresses 0 through 15 are

reserved for group addressing and for use by the data link layer. For all
Emerson fieldbus devices addresses 20 through 35 are available to the
device. If there are two or more devices with the same address, the first
device to start will use its programmed address. Each of the other devices will
be given one of four temporary addresses between 248 and 251. If a
temporary address is not available, the device will be unavailable until a
temporary address becomes available.

Scheduled Transfers Information is transferred between devices over the fieldbus using three

different types of reporting.

• Publisher/Subscriber: This type of reporting is used to transfer critical
process loop data, such as the process variable. The data producers
(publishers) post the data in a buffer that is transmitted to the
subscriber (S), when the publisher receives the Compel Data. The
buffer contains only one copy of the data. New data completely
overwrites previous data. Updates to published data are transferred
simultaneously to all subscribers in a single broadcast. Transfers of this
type can be scheduled on a precisely periodic basis.

• Report Distribution: This type of reporting is used to broadcast and
multicast event and trend reports. The destination address may be
predefined so that all reports are sent to the same address, or it may be
provided separately with each report. Transfers of this type are
queued. They are delivered to the receivers in the order transmitted,
although there may be gaps due to corrupted transfers. These
transfers are unscheduled and occur in between scheduled transfers at
a given priority.

• Client/Server: This type of reporting is used for request/response
exchanges between pairs of devices. Like Report Distribution
reporting, the transfers are queued, unscheduled, and prioritized.
Queued means the messages are sent and received in the order
submitted for transmission, according to their priority, without
overwriting previous messages. However, unlike Report Distribution,
these transfers are flow controlled and employ a retransmission
procedure to recover from corrupted transfers.

A-5

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

Figure A-3 diagrams the method of scheduled data transfer. Scheduled data
transfers are typically used for the regular cyclic transfer of process loop data
between devices on the fieldbus. Scheduled transfers use
publisher/subscriber type of reporting for data transfer. The Link Active
Scheduler maintains a list of transmit times for all publishers in all devices that
need to be cyclically transmitted. When it is time for a device to publish data,
the LAS issues a Compel Data (CD) message to the device. Upon receipt of
the CD, the device broadcasts or “publishes” the data to all devices on the
fieldbus. Any device that is configured to receive the data is called a
“subscriber.”

Figure A-3. Scheduled Data
Transfer

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

Unscheduled Transfers Figure A-4 diagrams an unscheduled transfer. Unscheduled transfers are

used for things like user-initiated changes, including set point changes, mode
changes, tuning changes, and upload/download. Unscheduled transfers use
either report distribution or client/server type of reporting for transferring data.

All of the devices on the fieldbus are given a chance to send unscheduled
messages between transmissions of scheduled data. The LAS grants
permission to a device to use the fieldbus by issuing a pass token (PT)
message to the device. When the device receives the PT, it is allowed to send
messages until it has finished or until the “maximum token hold time” has
expired, whichever is the shorter time. The message may be sent to a single
destination or to multiple destinations.

Function Block
Scheduling

Figure A-5 shows an example of a link schedule. A single iteration of the
link-wide schedule is called the macrocycle. When the system is configured
and the function blocks are linked, a master link-wide schedule is created for
the LAS. Each device maintains its portion of the link-wide schedule, known
as the Function Block Schedule. The Function Block Schedule indicates when
the function blocks for the device are to be executed. The scheduled
execution time for each function block is represented as an offset from the
beginning of the macrocycle start time.

Showing Scheduled and
Unscheduled Communication

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0

June 2005

To support synchronization of schedules, Link Scheduling (LS) time is
periodically distributed. The beginning of the macrocycle represents a
common starting time for all Function Block schedules on a link and for the
LAS link-wide schedule. This permits function block executions and their
corresponding data transfers to be synchronized in time.

LAS Parameters There are many bus communication parameters but only a few are used. For

standard RS-232 communications, the configuration parameters are baud
rate, start / stop bits, and parity. The key parameters for H1 Fieldbus are Slot
Time (ST), Minimum Inter-PDU Delay (MID), Maximum Response Delay
(MRD), and Time Synchronization Class (TSC).

ST is used during the bus master election process. It is the maximum amount
of time permitted for device A to send a fieldbus message to device B. Slot
time is a parameter which defines a worst case delay which includes internal
delay in the sending device and the receiving device. Increasing the value of
ST slows down bus traffic because a LAS device must wait longer prior to
determining that the LM is down.

MID is the minimum gap between two messages on the fieldbus segment, or
it is the amount of time between the last byte of one message and the first
byte of the next message. The units of the MID are octets. An octet is 256
seconds, hence the units for MID are approximately 1/4 msec. This would
mean an MID of 16 would specify approximately a minimum of 4 msec
between messages on the fieldbus. Increasing the value of MID slows down
bus traffic because a larger “gap” between messages occurs.

A-8

Reference Manual

Part # 97404, Rev 0
June 2005

Figure A-6. LAS Parameter diagram

CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter

MRD defines the maximum amount of time permitted to respond to an
immediate response request, e.g. CD, PT. When a published value is
requested using the CD command, the MRD defines how long before the
device publishes the data. Increasing this parameter will slow down the bus
traffic by slowing down how fast CDs can be put onto the network. The MRD
is measured in units of ST.

TSC is a variable that defines how long the device can estimate its time
before drifting out of specific limits. The LM will periodically send out a time
update message to synchronize devices on the segment. Decreasing the
parameter number increases the amount of time that a message must be
published, increasing bus traffic and overhead for the LM device. See Figure
A-6.

A Link Master (LM) device is one that has the ability to control the
communications on the bus. The Link Active scheduler (LAS) is the LM
capable device that is currently in control of the bus. While there can be many
LM devices acting as back-ups, there can only be one LAS. The LAS is
typically a host system, but for stand-alone applications a device may be
providing the role of primary LAS.
