1.3 Considerations

General
Electrical vibration sensors, such as accelerometers, produce low-level signals proportional to their sensed vibration. With simple HART configuration, the transmitter converts the low-level sensor signal to a wireless-enabled signal.
Commissioning
The transmitter can be commissioned before or after installation. You can commission it on the bench before installation to ensure proper operation and to be familiar with its functions.
Make sure the instruments are installed in accordance with applicable field wiring practices.
The CSI 9420 device is powered whenever the power module is installed. To avoid depleting the power module, remove it when the device is not in use.
Installation
Introduction
When choosing an installation location and position, provide ample access to the transmitter. For best performance, the antenna should be vertical, with some space between objects in a parallel metal plane such as a pipe or metal framework. Pipes or framework may adversely affect the performance of the antenna.
Electrical
Smart Power Module
The power module contains two “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Each power module contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal conditions, the power module materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and the power module pack integrity is maintained. Take care to prevent thermal, electrical, or mechanical damage and protect contacts to prevent premature discharge.
CAUTION!
Use caution when handling the power module. The power module may be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet.
External DC line power
Certain versions of the CSI 9420 are available for connecting to an external 10-28 VDC power source. This is used in place of the power module.
WARNING!
The CSI 9420 may not carry the same hazardous area ratings when operated with external DC line power.
Sensor Make sensor connections through the cable entry at the side of the
connection head. Provide adequate clearance for cover removal.
MHM-97408, Rev 15 5
Introduction
Environmental
The transmitter operates within specifications for ambient temperatures between –40°F and 185°F (–40°C and 85°C).
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous location certifications.

Topics covered in this chapter:

Configuration overview

Configuration with a Field Communicator
Configuration with AMS Device Manager
Configuration with AMS Machinery Manager
2.1 Configuration overview
You can configure the CSI 9420 either prior to installation or after the device is installed at the measurement location. You do not need to physically install or connect to the transmitter to complete the configuration. The transmitter, however, reports an alert until the sensor is connected; this is the expected behavior.

Configuration

Note
The specific user interface for performing the configuration varies depending on the host used.
Procedure
1. Connect to a wired HART interface.
Skip this step if your CSI 9420 is purchased pre-configured from the factory.
2. Set the wireless network credentials (Network ID and Join Key) using wired
connection.
Perform this step for the device to join a wireless network. After the device has joined, you can complete the rest of the steps over a wireless link.
3. (Optional) Name the device (Tag and Device Description).
By default, the tag is VT xxxx, where xxxx is the unique radio ID on the wireless network. The device joins the network and operates correctly even if no changes are made, but it is usually preferable to name the device something meaningful for the specific application.
4. Specify the type of sensor installed (for example: 1 accelerometer, 1
accelerometer with temperature, or 2 accelerometers) and name the sensor.
The factory default configuration is one accelerometer named SENSOR 1. Complete this step for different configurations and name the sensor something meaningful for the specific application.
5. Enter the sensor sensitivity.
For improved accuracy, replace the nominal sensitivity value of 25 mV per g (2.55 mV per m/s2) (default) with the value corresponding to your specific sensor.
MHM-97408, Rev 15 7
Configuration
6. Specify the units (English, metric, or SI) that will be used for each parameter.
By default, units are set to English, unless the device is shipped to Japan.
7. Specify which measurements (velocity, temperature, etc.) correspond to the
process variables PV, SV, TV, and QV.
By default, PV is the Overall Velocity on sensor 1, SV is the PeakVue measurement on sensor 1, TV is the sensor 1 bias voltage, and QV is the supply voltage.
8. Specify alert levels.
Determine the thresholds at which measurement alerts will display and determine the behavior of device alerts.
9. Specify how the parameters will be published (optimized mode or generic
mode).
By default, the device is configured to use generic mode as it provides the most consistent overall performance.
10. Specify how often the parameters are published (update rate).
The default update rate is once every 60 minutes. A faster update rate is not recommended, unless the device is powered by an external power source, as it significantly reduces the power module life.
11. Optimize for power consumption.
Reduce the publish rate and set the LCD mode to Off to minimize power consumption. As an additional step, you can configure the PowerSave mode settings to extend the power module life.
12. Configure trending of parameters.
You can trend parameters in multiple locations such as in a plant historian, in AMS Machinery Manager, and in a DCS control system.
13. If the device configuration will not be managed by a HART DCS (such as DeltaV),
specify whether AMS Machinery Manager can make configuration changes.
By default, the device is set for a DCS to manage the configuration, and changes from AMS Machinery Manager are not permitted. You can, however, allow AMS Machinery Manager to make configuration changes by enabling MHM Access Control from AMS Device Manager or from a Field Communicator.
14. If the device is licensed for the Advanced Diagnostics application (spectral data
retrieval), configure storage of energy bands, spectra, and waveforms in the AMS Machinery Manager database.
With the Advanced Diagnostics application, you can collect data on-demand, automatically at periodic intervals, or on alert. Store on Alert is the recommended operating mode.
8 MHM-97408, Rev 15

2.1.1 Connect to a wired HART interface

Unless the CSI 9420 is purchased pre-configured from the factory, you must connect it to a wired HART interface. This is to define device credentials that allow the device to communicate on your wireless network. You can also define other device configurations such as sensor type and alert thresholds at this time.
Notes
Use the wired HART interface only for configuration. Dynamic variables (such as measured
vibration parameters) are not updated when communicating on the wired interface.
The CSI 9420 does not communicate simultaneously on both the wired and wireless HART
interfaces. You will lose wireless connectivity when you connect to the wired HART interface. Configuration changes are not reflected in a wireless host until connection has been re­established. To avoid loss of synchronization, disconnect hosts relying on the wireless link when communicating with the device on the wired interface.
For example, if you are viewing a configuration screen in AMS Device Manager through a wireless link, and you leave this screen open while making changes with a Field Communicator, you will have to exit AMS Device Manager and then re-open it (or re-scan the device) after the wireless connection has been restored in order to see the changes.
Configuration
Procedure
1. Remove the transmitter back cover.
This exposes the terminal block and HART communication terminals.
Figure 2-1:
CSI 9420 terminal block with two-wire, polarity-independent connection

2. Connect the power module or supply power using an external power source.
MHM-97408, Rev 15 9
Configuration
Field Communicator and power module connectionFigure 2-2:
3. Configure using a Field Communicator, AMS Device Manager, or any HART-enabled host.
Press Send to send configuration changes to the transmitter.
The CSI 9420 enters “HART Listen” mode for communication on the wired interface. HART Listen is displayed on the optional LCD, if it is installed.
If the device is unable to enter the HART Listen mode during its boot sequence or while performing its real-time vibration measurement, retry the initial wired HART handshaking sequence.
If repeated attempts to establish wired communication fail, you can force the device into a HART Listen mode by removing the transmitter front cover and pressing the CONFIG button once. Once the device enters HART Listen mode, it remains in this mode until you press the CONFIG button, the power cycles, or no activity is seen on the wired interface for three minutes. Pressing the CONFIG button a second time causes the device to exit HART Listen mode.
CAUTION!
The front electronics end cap (the cap covering the LCD) is certified for Class I, Division I in appropriate gas environments (check the nameplate on the device for details).
Exposing the electronics to a production environment can allow particulates, moisture, and other airborne chemicals to enter into the device, which could lead to contamination and potential product performance issues. In all cases, whenever opening the front end cap, be sure to seal it completely afterwards by tightening until the black O-ring is no longer visible. For an illustration on how to properly seal the end cap, see Figure 3-12.
10 MHM-97408, Rev 15
4. When configuration is complete over the wired HART interface, disconnect the transmitter from the communication wires to re-establish wireless communication.
This may take several minutes.

2.1.2 Set the wireless network configuration

This enables the transmitter to communicate with the Smart Wireless Gateway and with other systems. This is the wireless equivalent of connecting wires from a transmitter to a control system input.
Procedure
1. From the Smart Wireless Gateway, click Setup > Network > Settings to obtain the Network ID and Join Key.
2. Using a Field Communicator or AMS Device Manager with a wired modem, enter the Network ID and Join Key so that they match the Network ID and Join Key from the Smart Wireless Gateway.
Note
If the Network ID and Join Key are not identical to the gateway settings, the CSI 9420 will not communicate with the network.

2.1.6 Alert levels

The CSI 9420 sets HART status bits to indicate when measured values exceed the configured thresholds. Each measured value has three levels: Advisory, Maintenance, and Failed that can be set independently. These thresholds are pre-configured at the factory to reasonable generic values for single-stage, electric motor-driven equipment trains operating at 1200–3600 RPM.
The level at which these thresholds should be set depends on the type of equipment being monitored and on your specific process.
One rule of thumb for vibration is to examine the current level at which the equipment is operating. Assuming the equipment is in good working condition, set the Advisory level at 2x the current value (or at a minimum of 0.05 in/s RMS, whichever is greater), set the Maintenance level at 4x the current value, and set the Failed level at 8x the current value. For example, if the current value for Overall Velocity is 0.1 in/s, set the Advisory threshold at 0.2 in/s, the Maintenance threshold at 0.4 in/s and the Failed threshold at 0.8 in/s. While this type of vibration program is not recommended, it can provide a starting point when no other information is available.

A good rule of thumb for establishing the PeakVue alert levels is to use the rule of 10's. This applies for most rolling element bearing equipment with a turning speed between 900 and 4000 CPM. Using this approach, the Advisory alert would be set at 10 g's, the Maintenance alert at 20 g's, and the Failed alert at 40 g's. In general, PeakVue alert levels can then be interpreted as follows:
10 g's Indication of Abnormal Situation
20 g's Serious Abnormal Situation - Maintenance Plan Required
40 g's Critical Abnormal Situation - Implement Maintenance Plan
For more information on PeakVue, see Section 5.2.
The default alert thresholds for temperature correspond closely to a generic open drip­proof (ODP) motor with class F insulation and a service factor of 1.15, operating at an ambient temperature of 40°C or below and at an altitude of 1000 meters or below . These values are also reasonable thresholds to use when there is no knowledge of the process, the type of machinery, or the operating environment. For more information, see Chapter 5.

Notes
The supply voltage measurement is made under load conditions. The supply voltage may
read differently with the CSI 9420 versus other Emerson transmitters or multimeters.
Prior to sensor connection, it is normal to see alerts related to bias failure. These alerts go
away when the sensor is installed correctly.
When any measured process parameter (Velocity, PeakVue, or Temperature) exceeds the
configured Advisory, Maintenance, or Failed threshold, this causes an “Advisory” indication that you can view from AMS Device Manager (or in another graphical host). This indicator itself does not set a status bit.

N/A N/A N/A N/A < 2 V or > 3 V Yes

2.1.7 Publishing mode

The CSI 9420 can publish in either of two modes: optimized or generic (default).
Optimized mode uses less power by combining a large amount of information into a single command. In this mode, only the four standard process variables (PV, SV, TV, and QV) are published at the specified update interval and cached in the Smart Wireless Gateway. When values are cached in the gateway, it is not necessary to wake the device for the host system to be able to read the variables. The other variables are still available, but any request to read one of them wakes the device and consumes power.
Generic mode publishes all the process variables the device can produce. This mode requires three publish messages, which requires approximately 5% more power.
If you are only trending measurements mapped to PV, SV, TV, and QV, use optimized mode. If you are trending additional variables, use generic mode.

2.1.8 Update rate

The default update rate is 60 minutes. This is the maximum (fastest) recommended update rate. You can change this at commissioning or at any time through AMS Device Manager, a Field Communicator, or the Smart Wireless gateway web server. You can set the update rate from 1 minute to 1 hour.
Note
If the device uses a power module, and is configured to publish at the fastest allowable update rate (once per minute), the power module is expected to last only about 2-3 months. For faster update rates, if your application allows it, use an external DC power option.
16 MHM-97408, Rev 15

2.1.9 Minimize power consumption

The primary way to minimize power consumption is to reduce the publish rate.
Two other configuration settings that affect power consumption are:
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
PowerSave mode
LCD
Disable the LCD after installation is complete if it is not required during normal operation. It is neither necessary nor sufficient to physically remove the LCD; it must be disabled through configuration in order to save power. From AMS Device Manager, select the wireless network where the transmitter is connected, right-click the transmitter and select Configure > Manual Setup > General Settings tab > LCD Mode > Off.
Note
Disabling the LCD (not removing it, just disabling it) through configuration provides power savings of about 15–20%.
Configuration
Leave the LCD installed even if it is disabled to provide valuable diagnostic information. To view the LCD, remove the front cover and press the DIAG button. This wakes the device and displays current information. This can be beneficial for taking a quick reading and to aid in troubleshooting.
CAUTION!
The front electronics end cap (the cap covering the LCD) is certified for Class I, Division I in appropriate gas environments (check the nameplate on the device for details).
Exposing the electronics to a production environment can allow particulates, moisture, and other airborne chemicals to enter into the device, which could lead to contamination and potential product performance issues. In all cases, whenever opening the front end cap, be sure to seal it completely afterwards by tightening until the black O-ring is no longer visible. For an illustration on how to properly seal the end cap, see Figure 3-12.
PowerSave mode
PowerSave mode is available in CSI 9420 devices that are Rev. 3 or later and it enables the device to make measurements less frequently, thereby conserving power. This is ideal when either power module life is more critical than the acquisition rate or when changes in vibration are only expected to occur over extended periods of time.
You can configure the settings for the PowerSave mode in AMS Machinery Manager (MHM Access Control must first be enabled) and in AMS Device Manager. The specific field is referred to as PowerSave Skip Multiplier. It is the number of times the transmitter skips data acquisitions between updates to the gateway.
At any point, the effective acquisition rate for the CSI 9420 is defined as:
Effective Acquisition Rate = (Update Rate) x (PowerSave Skip Multiplier)
MHM-97408, Rev 15 17
Configuration
Valid settings for the PowerSave Skip Multiplier range from 1X to 24X. In order to extend power module life, it should only be combined with a long update rate such as 60 minutes (54 minutes may be optimal for older versions of the CSI 9420). When this value is set to 1X, the CSI 9420 acquires a new reading at the update rate. A PowerSave Skip Multiplier of 2X combined with a 60-minute update rate results in a new acquisition every 120 minutes (every two hours). Similarly, a PowerSave Skip Multiplier of 24X with a 60-minute update rate results in a new acquisition every 1440 minutes (once per day).

2.1.10 Trend parameters

You can trend parameters in multiple locations such as in a plant historian or in AMS Machinery Manager. The method for configuring this functionality is contained in the associated software and the details of all the possibilities are beyond the scope of this manual. This manual only indicates some of the general capabilities and version requirements.
You can trend values in essentially any host that accepts Modbus or OPC inputs. Configure OPC tags and Modbus registers for wireless devices in the Smart Wireless Gateway web interface. Refer to the Smart Wireless Gateway User Manual for additional information. The settings in the gateway and the host must be consistent and entered in both locations (for example, Modbus register definitions).
DeltaV integrates native wireless I/O devices on the control network. Refer to the DeltaV documentation for more information on the required version. You can manage wireless devices as native HART devices, and trend variables accordingly. This type of installation also allows richer alerting and diagnostics because the full HART capabilities are available.
Ovation 3.3 or later also integrates the Smart Wireless Gateway with all the associated benefits of HART.
AMS Machinery Manager 5.4 or later supports HART functionality to read configuration and alert information, as well as the dynamic parameters from the CSI 9420. This allows AMS Machinery Manager to auto-discover all of the devices on the wireless mesh as well as the specific sensor configurations, units settings, and variable mappings for CSI 9420 devices.
Also, with AMS Machinery Manager and CSI 9420 devices (that are licensed for the Advanced Diagnostics application), you can trend Energy Band parameters. For more information, see Section 2.4.1.
DeltaV versions prior to 10.3 and Ovation versions prior to 3.3, though not integrated through HART, accept Modbus values from the wireless devices. DeltaV also accepts OPC values.
18 MHM-97408, Rev 15

2.1.11 Remove the power module

The CSI 9420 device is powered whenever the power module is installed. To avoid depleting the power module, remove it when the device is not in use.
After you have configured the sensors and network, disconnect the communication leads, remove the power module (if the device is not already installed), and replace the transmitter cover. You should insert the power module only when you are ready to commission the device.

2.2 Configuration with a Field Communicator

You can configure the CSI 9420 using a Field Communicator. Follow the connection diagram in Figure 2-2.
A Rev 4 DD is recommended when using a Field Communicator to configure the CSI 9420. The DD for the CSI 9420 is located on the DVD that came with the transmitter. Refer to the Field Communicator User’s Manual for more details on DDs or go to http://
www2.emersonprocess.com/en-us/brands/Field-Communicator/Pages/SysSoftDDs.aspx
for instructions on adding a DD for CSI 9420.
Configuration
The CSI 9420 requires Field Communicator System Software version 3.2 or later.
Figure 2-4 through Figure 2-15 show the Field Communicator configuration menu trees for CSI 9420 using a Rev 4 DD. For ease of operation, you can access some common tasks in several locations of the menu structure.

If the Average Velocity option is not enabled in AMS Machinery Manager, the spectrum is calculated at 1600 lines of resolution, with no averaging.
When vibration data is acquired, a PeakVue waveform is sampled for 3.2 seconds. If you set the PeakVue True Fmax to 1000 Hz, the first 1.6 seconds of the PeakVue waveform is used for the analytical spectrum. If you set the Fmax to 500 Hz, the entire 3.2 second PeakVue waveform is used to calculate the analytical spectrum. Regardless of what you choose in Fmax, the overall PeakVue trend parameter is calculated over the entire 3.2 second waveform.

2.4 Configuration with AMS Machinery Manager

AMS Machinery Manager can change the data acquisition settings for CSI 9420 devices. If the device is not commissioned in a HART DCS host (DeltaV or Ovation), you can allow AMS Machinery Manager to configure settings to provide easier access. You need to configure MHM Access Control in AMS Device Manager or in a Field Communicator to allow AMS Machinery Manager to make configuration changes to the CSI 9420.
If the device is commissioned in a HART DCS host, manage the configuration completely within the DCS. The DCS will generate an alert if you change the configuration externally. For more details on how to change the configuration from AMS Machinery Manager, refer to the Data Import topics in AMS Machinery Manager Help.
For device configurations managed by the DCS, you can still set independent alerts in AMS Machinery Manager to allow you to get a notification without going to the DCS operator (for example, you can set an alert at a lower threshold within AMS Machinery Manager).
If the primary HART host is AMS Device Manager, you can manage all alert configurations and device update rates from AMS Machinery Manager. The independent alert levels are still possible (for example: a different alert level in AMS Machinery Manager than in AMS Device Manager). In this scenario, you have direct access to both settings. The HART alerts are stored in the device and appear in AMS Device Manager and Alert Monitor. AMS Machinery Manager alerts only appear when you are using the AMS Machinery Manager software. This type of configuration is also acceptable if the DCS or PCS host is using Modbus or OPC and not HART.
CAUTION!
If the CSI 9420 devices are commissioned and installed on a HART DCS or PCS that is managing and archiving device configuration information, AMS Machinery Manager should NOT be used to change the configuration. This will cause an alert in the DCS due to the mismatch. The configuration may even be overwritten by the DCS, which can cause confusion.

2.4.1 Advanced Diagnostics application

The Advanced Diagnostics application is a licensed feature available in CSI 9420 devices. Contact your Emerson Sales Representative or Product Support for additional details.
When this feature is enabled, you can view a compressed thumbnail spectrum from a HART host, such as DeltaV or AMS Device Manager. The primary application however, is for integration with AMS Machinery Manager.
This feature allows you to retrieve compressed thumbnail spectra, high-resolution spectra, and analytical waveforms from the CSI 9420 and archive them in the AMS Machinery Manager database. This energy band provides additional insight, over and above the trended scalar values. This information provides a better indication of whether or not there is a real problem and, if so, how severe the problem is. By using the energy band, you can determine whether or not the vibration energy is periodic and at what frequency it is occurring.
58 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Configuration
Other configurable parameters for the energy band include:
Effective Fmax for the thumbnail spectrum — For the velocity thumbnail
spectrum, AMS Machinery Manager uses 100% as the default Fmax.
True Fmax for PeakVue — This allows the monitoring of a slower machine with
PeakVue. Choosing 1000 Hz Fmax uses about 1.6 seconds of data to produce a 1000 Hz analytical spectrum. Choosing 500 Hz Fmax uses about 3.2 seconds of data to produce a 500 Hz analytical spectrum. The 1000 Hz Fmax is better for 1800–3600 RPM machines. The 500 Hz Fmax is better for slower machines.
Note
True Fmax for PeakVue can only be configured in AMS Machinery Manager (MHM Access Control must first be enabled).
Averaging for the high-resolution velocity spectrum — Averaging the velocity
spectrum reduces the effect of transients in the data. If you use averaging, the frequency resolution of the high-resolution spectrum is 1.25 Hz/bin (800 lines) or 3 Hz/bin (400 lines). If you do not use averaging, the frequency resolution is 0.625 Hz/ bin. The Fmax for all high-resolution spectra is 1000 Hz. 400-line averaging is enabled by default.
Data acquisitions can be on-demand, alert-based, or time-based. You can configure data acquisition settings in the AMS Machinery Manager Data Import program.
An on-demand spectrum (usually a thumbnail) provides a quick look at the vibration energy in the frequency domain. If you need more frequency resolution, you can obtain a high-resolution spectrum or a waveform. You can store data in AMS Machinery Manager database if the point is mapped.
You can configure time-based data acquisitions once; it happens automatically thereafter. You can define the type of data to collect (compressed spectrum, high-resolution spectrum, or waveform) and how often to collect and store data in the AMS Machinery Manager database. AMS Machinery Manager automatically stores all time-based data retrieved for future viewing and analysis.
With Alert-based data acquisitions, overall vibration and PeakVue measurements are processed to determine the alert state of the equipment being monitored. Then you can select at what alert level to trigger retrieval of the spectrum or waveform associated with that sensor. Alert-based data acquisition typically results in a longer life for your Smart Power Module.
Notes
It is not necessary to transmit both waveform and spectrum from the CSI 9420. The spectrum
is about half as much data to transmit as a waveform. If you need the waveform, the spectrum does not have to be transmitted because the software calculates the spectrum from the stored waveform.
When using a power module, use care when configuring time-based retrieval of energy band.
Transmitting high-resolution spectrum or waveforms consumes more energy and reduces the life of the power module.
MHM-97408, Rev 15 59
Configuration
When using a power module, the maximum recommended time-based acquisition rates are:
Thumbnail spectrum — Once per day
High-resolution spectrum — Once every two weeks
Waveform — Once per month
On-demand data collection is not expected to have a significant impact on power module life. If you are using a power module, keep in mind that even on-demand acquisitions can have an adverse effect on the power module life if you request data, especially high­resolution data, too frequently.
For more information on these data acquisitions, refer to the Data Import topics in AMS Machinery Manager Help.

2.4.2 CSI 9420 Data Collection: Overview

Data collection on the CSI 9420 includes taking an acquisition and storing it in memory where it is available to be transmitted. AMS Machinery Manager obtains data from a CSI 9420 through the Data Import Server communication to the gateway device. You can view or change data collection settings through AMS Machinery Manager, in the Data Import program. You can set up policies and fine-tune your data collection based on time or alerts.
62 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Configuration
To make changes to a CSI 9420, AMS Device Manager settings must allow AMS Machinery Manager to make changes.
Note
In some cases, if the gateway device is connected to a HART host such as DeltaV, any changes made using the AMS Machinery Manager software will be rejected. In such cases, contact your DeltaV administrator or an instrument technician who is authorized to make the required configuration changes.
Alert-based data collection (Enable Store on Alert)
When you chose an alert-based data collection, overall vibration and PeakVue measurements are processed to determine the alert state of the equipment being monitored. Then you can select at what alert level to trigger retrieval of the spectrum or waveform associated with that sensor. Alert-based data collection typically results in a longer life for your Smart Power Module.
Time-based data collection (Disable Store on Alert)
When you choose time-based data collection, you can store waveforms, high-resolution spectra, and thumbnail spectra are requested on a timer. The same information is collected periodically without regard to the device's alert status. Time-based data collection typically shortens the life of your Smart Power Module.

CSI 9420 Publishing Policy

The Data Import program provides an easy credit-based system to control how often data is collected and transmitted from each of your CSI 9420 transmitters. You can collect on­demand acquisitions without impacting the CSI 9420 Publishing Policy.
On-demand acquisitions
When you collect on-demand acquisitions you do not impact the CSI 9420 Publishing Policy. Time-based or Alert-based acquisition requests will continue according to the acquisition parameters for that device. All acquisitions, however, impact the life of your Smart Power Module.
2.4.3 CSI 9420 publishing policy
The CSI 9420 publishing policy is a credit-based system to control automated data requests and publishing rates. It helps you easily limit data traffic and data collection on your CSI 9420 transmitters. For CSI 9420 transmitters with a Smart Power Module, a publishing policy also helps extend the life of the power module by limiting the data collection and publishing. The publishing policy does not prevent on-demand readings. You can collect an on-demand reading from the CSI 9420 at any time.
The publishing policy may help if you have many transmitters and have some of the following concerns:
You want to conserve the life of your Smart Power Module.
You may have a control environment.
You want to limit how often you request data.
MHM-97408, Rev 15 63
Configuration
You want to limit how often you collect and store data.
Consider the following example in which a CSI 9420 is configured for a 60 minute update rate and to request the PeakVue spectrum whenever the PeakVue value exceeds 10 g's. If the measurement stays above 10 g's for an extended period of time, AMS Machinery Manager, without a publishing policy, would request a new spectrum with every measurement or once every hour. Each subsequent spectrum adds relatively little value in terms of diagnostic capability, but continues to consume power, which needlessly shortens the life of the power module. It also consumes unnecessary bandwidth, which might jeopardize the system's ability to retrieve pertinent diagnostic data from other devices. The default CSI 9420 publishing policy would restrict duplicate transmissions from this particular transmitter for two weeks. If the PeakVue level were still above 10 g at that time, then the publishing policy would permit the transmitter to send through an additional spectrum. This pattern would continue every 2 weeks until the issue is resolved.
How a publishing policy works
The publishing policy is based on gateway credits, device credits, and a polling interval. Credits are consumed by automated data collection based on the acquisition type. On­demand acquisitions do not consume credits. The credits are applied and used per polling interval. If the polling interval is too short, a device may send data too often, clog the network bandwidth, and run down the power module. Therefore, you should set the polling interval to the longest time period that is practical.
Device credit consumption by acquisition typeTable 2-9:
Acquisition Credit
Spectrum (time-based or alert-based) 1
Waveform (time-based or alert-based) 2
Spectrum or Waveform (on-demand) 0
You can determine if a device has consumed all of its credits by viewing the CSI 9420 device status. In Data Import, expand the Device Hierarchy to a CSI 9420, right-click the CSI 9420, and select Get Status. A status message at the bottom of the screen displays the date and time when the device will be eligible to collect data automatically.
Data storage and retrieval order with alert-based data collection
Combining a publishing policy with alert-based automated data collection provides more control over data collection, while ensuring you have the latest data when the conditions worsen. If more than one transmitter sends alerts at the same time, the requests are handled on a first come, first served basis. Newer transmitters (units with software rev 6.0 or higher) will retain the alert data in a protected memory buffer until it is retrieved by AMS Machinery Manager. For older transmitters (units with software below rev 6.0), AMS Machinery Manager will retrieve whatever data is contained in the transmitter's memory at the time the request is processed. Also, with a newer transmitter, if the condition gets worse while the data is waiting to be retrieved, the transmitter will update its stored data with the latest measurement due to the higher alert level.
64 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Configuration
How to apply a publishing policy
You can apply a publishing policy globally to a Data Import Server or individually to each gateway device.
Apply a publishing policy to a Data Import Server to affect each gateway monitored
by that server.
Apply a publishing policy to one gateway device to affect only the CSI 9420
transmitters connected to that gateway device.

2.4.4 Maximum network size and publishing policy settings

The maximum network size for use with Emerson's Smart Wireless Gateway is defined in
Table 2-10.
Maximum network sizeTable 2-10:
Number of wireless devices Update rate (in seconds)
12 1
25 2
50 4
100 8+
You can have up to 100 CSI 9420 devices on a single gateway, as the HART variables (i.e. scalar values) never have an update rate faster than 60 seconds. The update rate is typically once every 60 minutes.
The maximum network size decreases as you add different types of wireless devices to your network and when you collect high-resolution data. For example, if 5 temperature transmitters are broadcasting at a 1 second update rate, you will be able to add fewer CSI 9420 devices on this gateway than if the network contained only CSI 9420 devices. When you collect high-resolution data from a CSI 9420, such as vibration spectra and waveforms, the network can accommodate fewer wireless devices.
AMS Machinery Manager controls spectrum and waveform collection. The software features a publishing policy that limits the amount of data broadcast from a single device or over a single gateway. Figure 2-40 shows the menu to configure the publishing policy in the (Modbus) Data Import program. Table 2-11 shows the recommended (default) publishing policy settings. The default settings allow only 4 devices to send a full set of diagnostic data in a 24-hour period and no device will send data more often than every two weeks. This ensures that diagnostic data does not compete with process data, and that no single device dominates the available bandwidth.

If a gateway is dedicated to vibration monitoring and will not be routing any process data, then you can customize the publishing policy to allow more diagnostic data to be collected. Follow these steps:
1. Use the settings in Table 2-12 and Table 2-13 to achieve the maximum network size
as indicated.

2. Set up efficient data collection as follows:
Use/create a well-formed network which conforms to best practices as described
in the WirelessHART System Engineering Guide.
Collect an averaged spectrum for overall vibration (recommended). Do not
collect the waveform used to calculate the overall vibration value in the device itself. Starting in AMS Machinery Manager v5.61, the spectrum can be 400 lines instead of 800 lines, which further increases the availability of bandwidth. If you require the waveform from overall vibration, you can collect it on demand.
For PeakVue, collect the waveform; the spectrum is always collected with the
waveform. You need the waveform in order to use Auto-correlation to look for periodicity in the waveform. Auto-correlation helps you distinguish between impacting that is the result of under-lubrication or pump cavitation versus actual bearing damage.
MHM-97408, Rev 15 67
Configuration

2.4.5 Waveform or spectrum time

The amount of time required to get a waveform or spectrum varies significantly depending on the network size, network topology, and other installed applications competing for wireless bandwidth. Demand-based acquisitions use a special high-bandwidth mechanism that can transfer a 4096-point waveform in less than 5 minutes in optimum conditions, although it can take as much as 1 hour in fully loaded networks. Time-based acquisitions run at a lower bandwidth and typically take at least 30 minutes to acquire the same waveform.
Refer to the Data Import topics in AMS Machinery Manager Help for more details.
Energy Band trends
The transmitted thumbnail spectra, regardless of effective Fmax, also include Energy Band parameters which cover the entire frequency range. The Energy Bands for a 1000 Hz spectrum are:
0 Hz – 65 Hz
65 Hz – 300 Hz
300 Hz – 1000 Hz
The Energy Band parameters can only be trended in AMS Machinery Manager, and they are trended in the same way as the other scalar parameters. The device does not publish these values—requesting these wakes the device just like any other special data request.
Trend values are a good way to view on-demand data from your CSI 9420 powered by a Smart Power Module because these trend values come from the Smart Wireless Gateway's cache. Viewing on-demand trends does not cause the CSI 9420 to collect or transmit data as on-demand spectra and waveforms do.
The maximum (fastest) recommended storage rate for the Energy Band parameters is every 8 hours.
Refer to the Data Import topics in AMS Machinery Manager Help for more information.

3.1 Power the CSI 9420
Prerequisites
Install the Smart Wireless Gateway and ensure it is functioning properly before installing the CSI 9420 and all other wireless devices.
Procedure

Setup

1. Remove the transmitter back cover to access the power connections.
2. Provide power to the transmitter:
For the battery-powered version, plug in the power module.
For the externally powered version, connect a 10–28 VDC (24 V nominal) power
supply to the bottom two screw terminals on the right.
Note
When selecting the power supply, note that each CSI 9420 has a peak current draw of 40 mA when awake and powering sensors.
3. Pull the wiring through the threaded conduit entry.
Ensure that the grommet fits the wire properly and does not leak.
Note
The wire must snugly fit in the grommet feed-through in the cable gland to prevent ingress of water and other contaminants. If using one of the grommets for the standard low-power accelerometers, use a cable with a diameter between 0.125 to 0.250 in. (3.175 - 6.35 mm) to maintain a good seal. If a good seal is not possible with the wire selected, use an alternative grommet that provides a good seal.
Additional recommendations for power wiring:
Install a Ferrite EMI filter inline with the wire to block electrical noise (included with
package). Refer to Section 6.1.3 for more information.
Use 22 gauge or larger wiring (keep current requirements in mind when connecting
multiple transmitters inline).
MHM-97408, Rev 15 69
Setup
Tip
Power up wireless devices in order of proximity to the Smart Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest device to the gateway. This results in a simpler and faster network installation.

3.2 Sensors

Each of the CSI 9420 signal inputs uses accelerometers to make vibration measurements. The term "sensor" applies to both an accelerometer and an accelerometer with embedded temperature. The CSI 9420 uses special low-power sensors to reduce power consumption and increase power module life. The sensor is available with or without embedded temperature.

3.2.1 Sensor operating limits

Sensor operational rangesTable 3-1:
Channel DC bias range DC input range AC input range
Accelerometer 1 2–3 VDC 0–5 VDC 0.5–4.5 V (+/-80 g's peak)
Accelerometer 2 2–3 VDC 0–5 VDC 0.5–4.5 V (+/-80 g's peak)
Temperature 1 N/A -40°C to 125°C N/A
The accelerometers require a DC bias. The CSI 9420 provides the necessary bias and measures it to verify correct sensor operation. The nominal bias voltage is 2.5 V. If the bias voltage is outside of the 2–3 V range, the device generates a failed alert for the associated sensor. The DC input range represents the operational DC range of the signal input. The AC input range represents the operational AC range of the signal input.

3.2.2 Sensor handling

Note
Each sensor requires a standard 1/4–28-inch mounting location.
CAUTION!
Do not drop, hammer, or impact the sensor housing before, during, or after installation.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the specified torque when tightening a stud-mounted sensor. Over-tightening a sensor will damage the sensing element and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
70 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Setup
CAUTION!
Although the integral cable has a built-in strain relief, do not use excessive force when pulling the cable. Do not exert more than 5-lb of force directly on the sensor connection during installation. If possible, secure the cable to the machine near the point of sensor installation.
CAUTION!
Do not exert more than 5-lb pull force directly on sensor/cable connection during wire pulls.
For sensors that have been mounted before pulling the cable through the conduit or raceway to the CSI 9420, 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 that may cause strain at the sensor/cable connection.
WARNING!
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
For high-voltage environments, attach the sensor leads first before connecting to a power source.
Tip
Use crimp-on ferrules or lugs to improve long-term reliability of sensor wiring.

3.2.3 Sensor mounting/attachment tools and supplies

Mounting tools
Drill
Spot face or end mill tool
The spot face tool attaches to a standard electric drill and provides a machined surface that is at least 1.1 times greater than the diameter of the sensor. The spot face tool also drills a pilot hole that can then be tapped for a stud mounted sensor.
You can purchase the spot face tool from Emerson (MHM P/N 88101), or you can substitute a spot face tool with similar characteristics as required. Contact your local sales representative for assistance.

72 MHM-97408, Rev 15

3.2.4 Prepare the sensor mount

Stud mount (preferred)
Stud mount provides increased reliability, improved frequency response, and increased signal sensitivity.
Prerequisites
The mounting location must provide a flat surface of at least 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) in diameter and a case thickness exceeding 0.4 in. (10.2 mm). If this is not possible, use the epoxy mount method instead
Procedure
1. Prepare the spot face or end mill tool by setting the drill bit depth to a minimum of
0.325 in. (8.255 mm).
2. Using a wire brush and plant-approved cleaner, clean and degrease the surface area.
3. Keeping the spot face and end mill tool perpendicular to the machine surface, drill into the mounting location until the surface is smooth to the touch with no noticeable irregularities. This may require the spot face tool to remove as much as
0.04 in. (1.016 mm) or more from the surface.
Setup
Note
If the spot face is not uniform on all sides, it indicates that the spot face tool is not perpendicular to the mounting surface, and the resulting surface will not allow the sensor to be mounted properly. See Section A.7 for illustrations of the correct milling process.
4. Using 1/4-28 in. tap set, tap a pilot hole to a minimum depth of 0.25 in. (6.35 mm).
See Section A.7 for an illustration of tapping a pilot hole.
Epoxy mount (alternative)
If it is not practical to drill into the machine casing, then the epoxy mount method is acceptable.
Procedure
1. If the equipment surface has a radius of curvature that is less than 4 in. (100 mm), grind a flat surface approximately 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) in diameter.
2. Using a wire brush and plant-approved cleaner, clean and degrease the surface area.
3. Using a 2-part epoxy (such as Emerson P/N A92106), spray the activator onto the mounting surface. Place a light coat of epoxy on the surface of the mounting pad and hold firmly against the machine spot face surface for 1 minute.
Note
If the adhesive does not set within 1 minute, it indicates that too much epoxy is applied or that the mounting surface is not prepared properly. Repeat steps 2–3.

Prerequisites
Whenever possible, mount sensors to the machine while pulling cables. If you have to mount the sensor at another time, secure the bundled cable to the machine and protect it from damage.
Procedure
1. Using a plant-approved cleaner/degreaser, remove any lubricating fluid used during the tapping process and if necessary, clean the mounting stud threads.
2. Rub a small amount of semi-permanent thread locker onto the mounting location.
74 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Apply thread locker onto mounting locationFigure 3-4:
3. Using a 1/8 in. Allen key (English mounting stud) or a 4 mm Hex Allen key (metric mounting stud), loosely screw the mounting stud into the mounting location.
Setup
The mounting location is the machine surface when using stud mount and the mounting pad when using epoxy mount.
4. Using a torque wrench with 1/8 in. hex bit, torque to 7–8 ft-lb (9.5–10.8 N-m) to tighten the mounting stud.
Tighten the mounting studFigure 3-5:
MHM-97408, Rev 15 75
Setup
For stud mount: If the mounting stud is still not seated against the spot face after you apply the correct torque force, it indicates that the tap hole is not deep enough. Remove the mounting and tap a deeper hole.
5. Apply a thin coat of semi-permanent thread locker to the threads on the sensor housing.
6. Place the sensor onto the mounting stud and hold it to create the least amount of cable strain and cable exposure. While holding the sensor, hand-tighten the 9/16 in. captive nut and use a torque wrench with 9/16 in. open end to finish tightening to 2–5 ft-lb (2.7–6.8 N-m).
Hand-tighten the captive nutFigure 3-6:
If the mounting stud does not disengage from the sensor, use a flathead screwdriver to hold the stud and turn the hex nut counter-clockwise with a wrench.
76 MHM-97408, Rev 15

3.2.6 Secure the sensor cables

WARNING!
All wiring should be installed by a trained and qualified electrician. Wiring must conform to all applicable local codes and regulations. Follow local codes and regulations regarding wire type, wire size, color codes, insulation voltage ratings, and any other standards.
Using an appropriately sized cable clamp, secure the sensor cable to the machine approximately 4–5 in. (100–125 mm) from the mounting location. Do not curl into a bending radius of less than 2.8 in. (71 mm).
Securing a cable with temporary cable anchorFigure 3-7:
Setup
If the pulling of cables is not currently scheduled, secure the bundled sensor cables so that no strain is placed on the integral sensor/cable connectors. Do not let the bundled cable hang from the sensors. Do not place cables on plant floors, maintenance access areas, and/or footholds that may cause damage to the cables.

3.3.1 Install the LCD

WARNING!
While you can perform this modification for either CSI 9420 devices that are certified as intrinsically safe, for non-rated CSI 9420 devices that carry no hazardous area certification, or for CSI 9420 devices that are certified as non-incendiary (e.g. Class I, Div 2 or Zone 2 rated), only an Emerson Product Service Center personnel should remove and reinstall the LCD . Failure to do so may void the hazardous location certification.
Installing the LCDFigure 3-11:
Procedure
1. Remove the LCD cover.
CAUTION!
The front electronics end cap (the cap covering the LCD) is certified for Class I, Division I in appropriate gas environments (check the nameplate on the device for details).
Exposing the electronics to a production environment may allow particulates, moisture, and other airborne chemicals to enter into the device, which could lead to contamination and potential product performance issues.
2. Insert the four-pin connector into the interface board, rotate the LCD to the correct position, and snap the LCD in place.
82 MHM-97408, Rev 15
If the LCD pins are inadvertently removed from the interface board, carefully re­insert the pins before snapping the LCD in place.
After installation, you can remove the LCD by squeezing the two tabs and pulling gently. You can then rotate it in 90-degree increments and snap it back in place.
3. Attach the LCD cover.

Note
When operating the CSI 9420 with the Smart Power Module, disable the LCD in the transmitter configuration after installation to maximize power module life. While the LCD module itself consumes very little power, having it activated will alter the operating cycle of the transmitter in such a way that can impact the power module life by up to 15–20%.

3.3.3 Turn on the LCD

1. Remove the LCD cover.
CAUTION!
The front electronics end cap (the cap covering the LCD) is certified for Class I, Division I in appropriate gas environments (check the nameplate on the device for details).
Exposing the electronics to a production environment may allow particulates, moisture, and other airborne chemicals to enter into the device, which could lead to contamination and potential product performance issues.
2. Press the DIAG button to turn the LCD on.
This displays the Tag name, Device ID, Network ID, Network Join Status, and Device Status screens.
3. Attach the LCD cover.
84 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Use a strapping wrench to tighten the cover until it will no longer turn and the black O-ring is no longer visible. Refer to Figure 3-12 for an illustration on how to properly seal the end cap.

3.4 Ground the transmitter

The transmitter operates with the housing, either floating or grounded. However, the extra noise in floating systems affects many types of readout devices. If the signal appears noisy or erratic, grounding the transmitter at a single point may solve the problem.
You can reduce electrostatic current in the leads induced by electromagnetic interference by shielding. Shielding carries the current to the ground and away from the leads and electronics. If the transmitter end of the shield is adequately grounded to the transmitter and the transmitter is properly grounded to the earth ground, very minimal current enters the transmitter.
If the ends of the shield are left ungrounded, a voltage is created between the shield and the transmitter housing, and between the shield and earth at the element end. The transmitter may not be able to compensate for this voltage, causing it to lose communication and/or generate an alarm. Instead of the shield carrying the current away from the transmitter, the current flows through the sensor leads and into the transmitter circuitry where it interferes with circuit operation.
Setup
Each accelerometer contains a drain wire that is connected to the sensor shield. This wire should be connected to the internal grounding screw attached to the housing near the terminal block.
Ground the transmitter in accordance with local, national, and international installation codes. You can ground the transmitter through the process connection, the internal case grounding terminal, or the external grounding terminal.

Note
The CSI 9420 does not publish any data to the gateway while a Field Communicator or HART modem is attached to it. After removing the leads from the Field Communicator/HART modem, the CSI 9420 senses that this connection has been removed and resumes publishing data to the gateway; however, this process can take several minutes. Pressing the "CONFIG" button on the local operator interface (when the CSI 9420 is not already engaged in performing another task) forces the CSI 9420 to switch operating modes.
Smart Wireless Gateway
From the Smart Wireless Gateway web server, navigate to the Explorer page. This page shows if the device has joined the network and if it is communicating properly.
88 MHM-97408, Rev 15
Operation and maintenance
The Explorer page displays the transmitter tag name, PV, SV, TV, QV, time of last update, and update rate (burst rate). A green status indicator means that the device is working properly. A red indicator means there is a problem with either the device or its communication path.
Note
It is normal for the CSI 9420 to have a red “X” on the screen until the sensor is installed.
Smart Wireless GatewayFigure 4-1:
Click on a tag name to display more information about the device.
If the CSI 9420 is configured with the Network ID and Join Key, and sufficient time for network polling has passed, the transmitter will then be connected to the network.
The most common cause of incorrect operation is that the Network ID or Join Key are not set correctly in the device. The Network ID and Join Key in the device must match those found on the Smart Wireless Gateway. From the Smart Wireless Gateway, click Setup > Network > Settings to display the Network ID and Join Key. Make sure the setting for "Show join key" is set to Yes.

Operation and maintenance

4.2 Power module maintenance

The Smart Power Module contains two “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride cells. Each cell contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack.
Actual power module life can vary dramatically based on operating parameters—including whether high-resolution data such as vibration waveforms and/or spectra are being retrieved from the device.
Handling
Under normal conditions, the power module materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries and the power module pack integrity are maintained. Take care to prevent thermal, electrical, or mechanical damage. Protect the contacts to prevent premature discharge.
CAUTION!
Use caution when handling the power module pack. The power module pack can be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet.
WARNING!
Power module hazards remain even when cells are discharged.
Environmental considerations
As with any battery, consult local, national, and international environmental rules and regulations for proper management of spent batteries. If no specific requirements exist, you are encouraged to recycle through a qualified recycler. Consult the materials safety data sheet for power module-specific information.
Replacement
When the power module needs to be replaced, remove the power module cover and the power module pack. Replace the pack (P/N MHM-89002, Rosemount P/N 00753- 9220­XXXX, or Rosemount Model # 701PBKKF) and replace the cover. Tighten to specifications and verify the operation.
Shipping
The unit is shipped without the power module installed. Unless you are specifically instructed to do otherwise, always remove the power module pack from the unit prior to shipping.
The U.S. Department of Transportation, International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ADR) regulate the transportation of primary lithium batteries
The shipper is responsible for complying with these or any other local requirements. Consult current regulations and requirements before shipping.

Velocity, PeakVue, and temperature

5 Velocity, PeakVue, and temperature
Topics covered in this chapter:

Overall Velocity

PeakVue
Temperature
5.1 Overall Velocity
The Overall Velocity measurement provides a summation of the low-frequency vibration energy, which indicates fault conditions such as imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and late-stage bearing problems.
The CSI 9420 uses (lower-frequency) Overall Velocity in conjunction with (higher­frequency) PeakVue to provide a holistic solution across all frequencies while optimizing the usage of the limited power and bandwidth available in a wireless device. The majority of developing fault conditions manifest in one or both of these key parameters.
The difference between the standard vibration waveform and the associated PeakVue waveform is shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2. Overall Vibration indicates energy from shaft rotation, expressed in units of RMS velocity per the ISO 10816 standard. PeakVue, on the other hand, filters out the rotational energy to focus on impacting. Impacting is expressed in units of Peak acceleration. This indicates key mechanical problems such as rolling element bearing faults, gear defects, and under-lubrication.

Velocity, PeakVue, and temperature
While PeakVue is very useful for providing an early indication of impact-related faults in rolling-element bearings, there are many general applications where a lower-frequency measurement is more appropriate. Also, virtually all vibration analysts are very familiar with the Overall Velocity measurement and use it as part of their existing vibration programs. While it may not be possible to obtain a measurement result comparable to the PeakVue value reported by the CSI 9420 with a non-CSI handheld vibration analyzer, the Overall Velocity measurement is common throughout the industry and should be easy to correlate with results from handheld instruments.
There are, however, a number of different methods for measuring and reporting Overall Velocity, so ensure that the measurement conditions are similar when trying to duplicate the value reported by the CSI 9420 with a handheld. The CSI 9420 uses ISO 10816, which defines a measurement bandwidth of 2 Hz to 1 kHz. The ISO 10816 general fault levels at various turning speeds are shown in Figure 5-3.
General fault levelsFigure 5-3:
Depending on the type of machine being monitored, the values shown in this graph should be multiplied by the service factors given in Table 5-1.

Figure 5-3 shows the Overall Velocity thresholds for root-mean-square (RMS) velocity in
units of inches per second. Particularly, in digital acquisition systems, it is customary to measure and calculate with RMS quantities. While it is accepted practice in the industry to convert between RMS and peak values using the 1.4142 conversion factor, it is not technically correct to do so except for a pure sinusoidal waveform. For this reason, the CSI 9420 measures, calculates, and reports Overall Velocity in RMS, and it is necessary to multiply by 1.4142 to get the corresponding peak levels if this is the preferred format.

5.2 PeakVue

PeakVue™ is a patented Emerson technology that is very useful for isolating high­frequency phenomena associated with developing faults, especially in rolling-element bearings.
The premise for PeakVue is that the high-frequency components are not readily detected with more conventional measurements such as Overall Velocity, low-frequency energy (LFE), or digital overall. This is because the low-frequency measurements either average the energy or provide an energy summation over a relatively large frequency band, and the relative amount of energy that is typically contributed by the high-frequency components is quite small. As a result, even large "spikes" are difficult to detect with classic techniques.
The difference in the vibration waveform and the associated measurement for overall vibration versus PeakVue is shown in Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6. The overall vibration is well below the established advisory and maintenance alert levels indicating that the machine is running well. In contrast, the PeakVue graph shows that the values have increased from zero, and that they are already crossing the advisory alert level and approaching the maintenance alert level. This early warning about impending defects is key to maintaining good machine health.
The PeakVue algorithm isolates the peak energy of interest to provide early indications of developing bearing faults such as inner and outer race defects, ball defects, and lubrication problems. Any type of "impacting" fault, where metal is contacting metal, is readily visible with PeakVue long before there is any significant increase in Overall Vibration. PeakVue is especially useful for monitoring rolling-element bearings.
