Yokogawa Electric Corporation reports that it has demonstrated a working integration with GE Energy's System 1 software. Yokogawa's Plant Resource Management (PRM) System provides a framework for monitoring and diagnosing the health of field devices, such as process sensors and valves. GE Energy's System 1 platform provides similar functionality for the mechanical and thermodynamic health of rotating, reciprocating, and fixed machinery. Through the use of open standards, the two platforms can exchange a variety of status and diagnostic data, allowing users to monitor and manage the condition of a broader cross-section of plant assets than by using either system individually.
Connectivity to the System 1 platform is particularly important because it is the only software supporting the proprietary communications with GE's industry-leading Bently Nevada line of vibration monitoring and machinery protection systems, used by more than 25 000 customers worldwide. With more than 3000 global sites already using the System 1 platform, it is the leading software of its kind and allows customers to more easily combine their installed machinery condition monitoring systems with Yokogawa's PRM system.
