Cable replacement / balance of plant Small-to-medium sized pump-motor sets have the largest number of measurement points in an industrial company; most are not currently monitored by any online-monitoring system “Balance of plant” implies non-critical use, but costly if disabled A simple pump-motor set has at least 6 measurement points which could be monitored for temperature or vibration 4-20mA sensors provide trend information (long time-averaged) Dynamic sensors give diagnostic / predictive output An iT transmitter provides trend and dynamic information from a single dynamic sensor Wireless monitoring technology available Nov 7, 2007

Product: wireless iT instrumentation series The iT series Ethernet multi-channel sensor acquisition modules (wired or wireless) Buffered dynamic signal output Processed loop-signal output Sensor bias detection Digital communication output Nov 7, 2007

Product: wireless iT instrumentation series Nov 7, 2007

Product: desktop software On-demand wireless acquisition and Fourier analysis of dynamic vibration data Support for FFT windowing: Hann & Flat-Top First and second FFT integral Logging to CSV and export to Excel Overlay multiple graphs for comparison Nov 7, 2007

Case study: Oak-Mitsui™ Their need: specializes in development and production of world class performance copper foils headquartered in Camden, SC, locations in Hoosick Falls, NY & Riverside, CA subsidiary of Mitsui Kinzoku Corporate Group, the world's largest manufacturer of copper foils for electronics Their need: to avoid pump motor failures previously manually monitored via a walk around doesn’t provide any base line fault data no set schedule for measurements hard-wiring analog sensor cables is very expensive Nov 7, 2007

Oak-Mitsui solution: iT113 feeds dynamic acceleration signal of 797T-1 to iT712 for FFT (CBM) monitoring, while providing frequency-banded 4-20mA signals for continuous bearing monitoring. PC420VP-10 Transverse to discharge PC420VP-10 In-line to discharge PC420VP-20 Transverse to discharge 797T-1 Accel / Temp Transverse Nov 7, 2007

Oak-Mitsui results: Initial field installation of two iT712 modules (along with sensors, cabling, power supplies, and enclosure) was very successful: indoor, severely acidic environment provided valuable trending data from multiple modules and sensors demonstrated graphical user interface for data logging data stored in data file for historical display and analysis demonstrated capability to do FFT analysis of dynamic sensors wireless data received in office >1000ft away from actual sensors “Walk-around data was just an infrequent snapshot.  The continuous data allows us to compare to upsets or changes in our process in addition to understanding failures.” - John Fatcheric, COO, Oak-Mitsui Nov 7, 2007

Summary Cost-effective, real-time monitoring for “Balance of Plant” installations Scalability allows user to simply add additional sensor monitoring points A GUI interface gives technician a wealth of information, including trending, FFT analysis, historical data logging Compatible sensing platform, using off-the-shelf IEPE and 4-20mA sensors for ease of installation Compatible networking platform, using company’s existing 802.11b and 802.3 IT infrastructure Scalable data output, transmitting low bandwidth 4-20mA information and high bandwidth dynamic information in one unit BETA testing has proven robustness of design, operating in both acidic and extreme temperature environments Solution ultimately saves customer significant expense from equipment downtime, by providing trending information on equipment that would have otherwise gone unmonitored or monitored only quarterly or yearly Nov 7, 2007
