AMS 2140 now joins other AMS condition monitoring data acquisition technology in AMS Machine Works. This includes a new Portable Device Agent, a lightweight service that enables your laptop to sense when your AMS 2140 connects to the USB port. Once the device is sensed and discovered by your laptop, AMS 2140 communication is then routed to the AMS Machine Works server. Users can now transfer routes and condition monitoring data from AMS 2140 to the AMS Machine Works database. Additionally, the service will also support Wi-Fi and Ethernet communication.

The AMS 6500 ATG module in AMS Machine Works v1.8 is a powerful tool for industrial asset health monitoring, specifically for critical assets like compressors and turbines. Version 1.8 enhances monitoring with advanced data visualization, configuration, and analytics. Key features include real-time device status visualization, transient graph support for in-depth analysis, and flexible data collection scheduling triggered by events like RPM changes or alarms. MongoDB integration enables high-resolution trend data and efficient management of transient graphs, providing operators with the option to retain detailed recordings or short snapshots. With a functional interface and streamlined data access, AMS 6500 ATG offers a modern, scalable solution for predictive maintenance of critical machinery assets.

AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor communicates to AMS Machine Works via the Emerson Smart Wireless Gateway (1410 and 1420 models) and performs in-depth vibration analysis of the monitored rotating assets. This includes complete vibration data including overall levels, energy bands, high resolution spectra, and waveforms. AMS Asset Monitor with AMS Machine Works software form an online, continuous condition monitoring system that offers maintenance and reliability personnel an affordable, flexible solution for monitoring the health of a plant’s assets. Working in tandem, the device and software together enable plant staff to receive real-time updates on asset health from analytics within the device (at the edge), perform deeper analysis from desktop clients. Both solutions offer flexibility for monitoring balance-of-plant assets ranging in criticality, and feature Emerson’s patented PeakVue and PeakVue Plus technology to greatly simplify machinery analysis.

PeakVue, a patented Emerson technology, can visualize distress signals on a machine that are simply not visible with other vibration measurements. Personnel with no special training in machinery diagnostics can easily act or suggest actions to avoid machinery failures. Sometimes, basic vibration monitoring simply isn’t enough. Embedded within AMS Machine Works is Emerson’s unique PeakVue technology that filters out traditional vibration signals to focus exclusively on impacting, a more reliable indication of asset health in specific types of equipment.

AMS Machine Works’ dashboard offers a powerful combination of data accessibility, intuitive navigation, and advanced analysis tools, user-assisting design, advanced prioritization capabilities, and a more seamless workflow, enabling maintenance teams to work smarter, not harder.

AMS Machine Works enhances the Design Studio module with a user-friendly design, benefiting both new users and those familiar with previous versions. It offers a drag-and-drop diagramming tool for configuring machine layouts, a streamlined workflow, and a comprehensive library of specialized asset types. Users can easily map sensor locations, set alerts, and configure measurement schedules. The new version supports many more assets within a single machine train, adds custom fault frequencies, more alarms per measurement, and transient waveform collection for AMS 6500 ATG.

Asset Condition Monitoring as-a-Service. AMS Machine Works Connect is Emerson’s, cost-conscious condition monitoring bundle combining industry-leading vibration sensors, edge analytics, machinery health software, and global deployment services. AMS Machine Works Connect offers users the same powerful machine health analysis software in the cloud with minimal investment in costly and burdensome infrastructure procurement, maintenance, and cybersecurity. This Emerson hosted asset management solution for monitoring industrial rotating machinery offers hardware (sensor, gateway, router, SIM card, enclosure) software, cloud services, installation, and configuration services.

AMS Machine Works features role-based access control, allowing for customizable, predefined roles with default permissions. Users may also be assigned to one or more roles. Admin: All possible privileges and credentials, agent setup and assignment, creation of additional accounts for lower access roles. Co-Admin: Admin access to select parts of the hierarchy. Operator: Edit access to agents, edit access to Machine Train Builder, edit access to VibApp, Network Device Module setup. Portable Device User: Portable Device Module setup/configuration activities, edit access to VibApp, and Network Device Module. Viewer: View-only access to all applications in the location(s) to which they have been assigned; may trigger on-demand collection, but cannot perform configuration actions.
