Motor-pump combinations are the backbone of most industries. The processes that are being driven by these pumps are the life blood of the plant. Unfortunately, many of these mechanical assets contribute to higher than desired maintenance costs and are often responsible for the majority of unplanned process downtime. The CSI 9210 provides an optimized solution for easy device implementation as the data collection logic and the data analysis logic are factory configured. The data collection logic and the analysis logic are based on the specific needs of motor-pump combinations typically found in process industries.

The most important aspect of the CSI 9210 is the production of results and the creation of information to optimize the operation of these vital motor-pump rotating assets. Often process conditions contribute to the formation of pump problems such as pump cavitation, motor overheating or overloading, rotationally related problems associated with imbalance and shaft misalignment as well as rolling element bearing degradation.

Also, the interaction between rotating plant equipment and the typical process variables like temperature, pressure, level and flow is often not easily understood. The ability for operations to understand the interaction between the process and the equipment that drives the process will reduce the occurrence of conditions that negatively impact equipment health. This reduction in the factors that lead to unplanned downtime can then actually lead to improved plant availability and performance.
