Machinery Protection Systems
Be confident a shutdown is necessary
Safety regulations and insurance requirements can dictate the need for a shutdown system on your expensive and critical production assets. But protection can be more than a necessary expense – the right system can be a path to integrating predictive intelligence to avoid false or missed trips and determing when a critical asset can continue running safely. Emerson systems are also compliant to a variety of API standards and SIL environments, meeting strict safety and insurance requirements.

Customer Testimonials
Are Your Critical Assets and Production Goals at Risk?
API 670 peace of mind with ultramodern, proven technology.
While hard to believe, many of the world’s leading manufacturers have plants today using 30+ year-old-protection systems for critical production assets like compressors, turbines, generators, and many others. Additionally, widely adopted legacy vendors have left many long-time customers and end users to absorb the blows associated with long lead times, unavailable spare parts, supply chain challenges or poor support.
Plants looking to implement modern protection technology are turning to the AMS 6500 ATG system – field-proven protection system with embedded prediction tools. Now operators can identify developing faults and analyze conditions during transient stages – the startup and shutdown of turbo machinery – when equipment is most likely to fail.
Safe and Compliant
The AMS 6500 ATG is API 670 compliant and meets various safety certifications required for use in hazardous environments: CSA Class1 Div2, IECex Zone 2, ATEX, and DNV GL certifications.
Prediction Capabilities
Know the health of the asset using the powerful prediction capabilities included in all of Emerson’s vibration analysis solutions, including PeakVue technology for the earliest indication of bearing failure.
Accessibility Anywhere
Easily connect to existing DCS/PLC, Historian, or MHI systems via OPC UA and Modbus TCP and RTU. Information is accessible via the Machine Studio software, or the AMS ATG View mobile app (both are included as part of the system).
Easy-to-Use Machine Studio
Machine Studio saves time with easy, flexible configuration using an intuitive graphical user interface and savable templates. Reporting capabilities such as system configuration and change management provide additional savings by automating the documentation process.
Flexible and Cost-Conscious
Stay flexible and lower total cost of ownership with universal monitor and process cards featuring user-configurable inputs. Adaptable cards allow for I/O changes in the field, fewer spare cards to accommodate a wide range of measurement types, and cards designed to work with existing sensors.
