Overview
Five percent of the rotating machines in every plant have
the ability to impact production if they fail. Although your
critical machines have vibration shutdown protection
systems in place to prevent catastrophic failure, is your
plant really protected?
Predictive intelligence is the key to increasing availability and
improving the reliability of plant assets. Emerson’s AMS 6500
ATG is a stand-alone machinery protection solution that also
allows users to cost effectively introduce prediction monitoring
of critical assets from the same system.
With four reconfigurable cards the AMS 6500 ATG can be setup
in the field for a wide range of protection measurements,
including all the required TSI measurements, which include
embedded prediction capabilities, such as impacting or peakto-peak data used in Emerson’s PeakVue™ methodology.
Prediction data from PeakVue technology cuts through the
complexity of machinery analysis to provide a simple, reliable
indication of equipment health, working through a single trend
that filters out traditional vibration signals to focus exclusively
on impacting.
With the addition of this impact data, users can monitor the
start-up and coast down of critical turbo machinery for safe
operation and receive the earliest indications of developing
faults in gearboxes and bearings.
What about the shocking repair costs, missed production
goals, and unfulfilled customer commitments associated
with a trip or a missed trip?
With the AMS 6500 ATG protection system users benefit with
prediction monitoring of critical assets from the same cards,
without the additional cost of another system, and production
impact is virtually non-existent. Greater flexibility of the cards
will help with fewer inventory spares, as well.
Real-time machinery health feedback integrates to digital
control systems so you can run your plant with confidence.
As many as 50% of machinery malfunctions that lead to
downtime are process induced, and 90% are predictable –
even controllable.
With the focus on impact data, users will experience a lot fewer
“process induced” failures because they will have a much better
indicator of overall asset health on pumps, fans, motors, and
other types of rolling-element bearing machines, which are
most often the reason for downtime.

The AMS 6500 ATG presents all available information about the
critical machine such as main value, trending data, and status
data. Part of Emerson’s digital architecture, the AMS 6500 ATG
provides enterprise-wide information needed for real-time
decision making.
Emerson is a global leader of combined technologies for
integration to digital control systems and plant-wide predictive
technologies for managing both fixed and rotating assets.
Protection System You Can Count On
The AMS 6500 ATG provides API 670 protection on the
industry’s most critical equipment: steam turbine generators,
gas turbines, boiler feed pumps, offshore compressors, pipeline
turbo compressors, chemical industry compressors, turbo
exhausters, blowers, and boosters. Missed trips, false trips,
and running blind are not acceptable in your plant.
The AMS 6500 ATG helps prevent missed trips by using module
self-health checking, instrumentation health monitoring and
hot swappable, external, redundant power. External power
removes heat and user “touches” away from the rack. The same
architecture is used in all Emerson integration to digital controls
systems and critical SIS systems.
False trips are addressed through features such as 2oo3 voting
logic for increased decision accuracy and limiting channel
count to two-channel modules. Two channel modules mean
that swapping a protection module will affect no more
than two channels – an API 670 requirement. Redundant
communications ensure that the operator is never blind to
machinery health information.
AMS 6500 ATG provides new communication protocol with
embedded OPC Unified Architecture (UA) technology.
There are five key features that OPC UA delivers to the
end-users:
„ Ease-of-use
„ Plug-and-play
„ High reliability and redundancy
„ Enhanced performance
„ Multiplatform support
OPC UA ensures easy integration of relevant system status
and values without a huge effort.
