Plantweb™ Optics Platform

Overview

Bringing a New Era of OT Data Management

Bringing a New Era of OT Data Management

Systems, data, and people spread across the enterprise and isolated in silos makes it difficult to identify issues impacting operational performance at the plant and business performance across the enterprise. The next generation of OT data management needs to seamlessly connect people, processes, and data to deliver a unified strategy across the enterprise that brings long-term value and a return on your investment. 

Emerson’s Plantweb Optics Platform securely and efficiently connect and collects global operational data from manufacturing, process control, and IT systems without disruption, contextualizes it, and transforms it into actionable information, which is presented to every decision-maker on any device, anytime, at any location. Gone are the days of OT data silos and you now have a single location to manage, protect, and easily integrate OT data with IT tools and cloud applications.

Constant Connectivity To All Your Data Sources From A Single System

Constant Connectivity To All Your Data Sources From A Single System

Instead of having IT install and connect many different systems - energy management, reliability asset software, machine learning, and AI-- comprehensive data and analytics solutions all exist in one package. Plantweb Optics offers a variety of custom connections into the platform designed out-of-the-box to easily connect to multiple applications and bring your data into a central repository where it is automatically connected to critical data management tools such as AI- and ML-based analytics, and integration to CMMS enabling closed workflows.
Data Storage And Organization That Fits Your Environment

Data Storage And Organization That Fits Your Environment

Flexible for nearly every file format

Store and automatically organize nearly any file format for both manual and automated data collection to let any user access the data they need whenever they need it.

Eliminate the need to transfer data

Leverage built-in analytics in the same place where data is collected increasing security, reliability, and deduplication of data by eliminating the need for transferring that data.
 

Make the most of your analytic tools

Automatically aggregate and collate data in a central repository, so that users and critical systems can find anything they need in one place for more efficient analytics, trending, and reporting.
 

Monitor every asset

Do not worry about every measurement point or tag that you are monitoring.  Plantweb Optics uses a core-based licensing structure enabling users to cost-effectively monitor every asset in the plant without worrying about legacy licensing practices.

Online Prediction and Protection Systems

Overview

Improve Safety and Availability with the Right Online System

Ensuring that your assets are always protected from unplanned failure requires choosing the right online system for the criticality of your asset to production. When safety regulations and insurance requirements dictate an API-compliant protection system, a modern approach would include predictive intelligence so you can operate your most critical assets with confidence. For the balance of your plant, a scalable system that delivers condition monitoring data continuously – and especially during transient conditions – is the answer.
IIoT

IIoT

The AMS Asset Monitor manages pervasive sensing while providing prediction, protection and process monitoring capabilities. It is designed to mount at the asset, reducing cabling requirements and other installation costs. It accommodates up to 12 CHARMs including Vibration CHARMs as well as DeltaV CHARMs for process inputs. For larger systems, multiple units can be daisy-chained together to extend the asset coverage. This monitor features an internal Logic Studio with multiple pre-programmed application solutions for easy to understand analysis and alert reporting.
For some rotating assets and the processes associated with them, periodic route-based data collection is insufficient to indicate asset health. Online condition monitoring provides the frequency and types of data necessary to stay on top of developing issues during normal operations and to respond quickly to sudden changes during transient conditions. Emerson’s AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is a versatile, scalable system that can be deployed in a variety of configurations to deliver online condition monitoring exactly as needed for the application.

Protection

Protection

The AMS 6500 ATG protection system is a modern protection-plus-prediction system that is designed to easily replace obsolete protection systems while still making use of the existing cabinets, cables, sensors, and the like. The AMS 6500 ATG comes with flexible cards that can be configured to acquire prediction data, an embedded OPC server, and a mobile app for viewing data from anywhere on the plant network.
Transient

Transient

Some application require detailed data collection during the startup/shutdown of turbomachinery. All AMS 6500 systems are available with optional transient DCR 100-hour data recording. With the 100 hour DCR, you can see on Monday morning a replay of what happened at any time during the weekend. The AMS 6500 comes in a portable version - the AMS 2600. Many consultants find a AMS 2600 with transient to be very useful for machinery and structural analysis. Transient files can be downloaded into ME’Scope Modal/ODS software to perform detailed cross-channel modal analysis.
Overspeed

Overspeed

Overspeed conditions on critical rotating equipment can be damaging to your assets and the plant personnel in the area. In addition, damaged equipment is expensive and time-consuming to repair or replace. During transient and normal operation, the AMS 6300 SIS guards against overspeed conditions caused by sudden load loss and unexpected changes. In addition, the same sensors will verify the rotational direction of your rotating equipment to ensure your assets are functioning correctly.
