Multichannel monitoring

Data Acquisition & Telemetry
Honeywell, in collaboration with SKF, has introduced OneWireless Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM), the latest addition to the portfolio of industrial wireless solutions. The system transmits complete spectral information – including vibration amplitude and operating parameters – from the field to the plant control room, helping reduce equipment failures and improving business performance through lower maintenance costs.
OneWireless EHM is a compact, eight-channel (4X vibration, 4X 4-20 mA) platform that communicates over the Honeywell industrial mesh network. Acceleration, velocity, temperature and bearing data are collected and transmitted to process operators and maintenance personnel, forewarning them of any developing equipment problems. The device is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to the manual inspections that many industrial facilities employ to monitor the health of rotating equipment such as pumps, compressors and motors.
“Wired equipment instrumentation solutions provide effective condition monitoring, but the equipment and installation costs may be impractical, and the few wireless alternatives are very limited in functionality and the information they provide,” said Jeff Becker, global wireless business director for Honeywell Process Solutions. “OneWireless EHM provides all the information needed to pinpoint problems before equipment failure. It acts as another set of eyes in the field and helps technicians better anticipate maintenance and avoid downtime.”
All the functionality necessary to capture and analyse equipment health status is encapsulated, including data acquisition, database management and installation services. The EHM is designed to deduce probable bearing defects, misalignment, pump cavitations and impeller wear. Configurable alarms can then be generated to appear in the plant’s distributed control system (DCS) and asset management platform. The system can be installed in less than four hours on a pre-installed OneWireless network and readily integrates with Honeywell DCS.
