Overall Condition in the Control Room
The CSI 9420 delivers information about the overall health of 
rotating assets directly to the control room via Modbus or OPC. 
Overall vibration data is a good indicator of shaft problems 
such as imbalance, misalignment, or mechanical looseness. 
In contrast, the PeakVue reading provides a reliable measure 
of impacting on the machine. As the PeakVue level increases, 
it provides direct indication of a developing problem, such as 
improper lubrication, bearing fault, or gear defect. Process 
induced faults, such as pump cavitation, are detected by an 
increase in both the overall vibration and PeakVue readings.
Asset Dashboard at your Fingertips
AMS Device Manager generates an asset dashboard based on 
the output of the CSI 9420. This intuitive interface displays the 
health of the sensor, the transmitter, and the production asset 
being monitored – extending the benets of PlantWeb
®
 to 
WirelessHART devices. 
Diagnostic Data to the Maintenance Office
AMS Machinery Manager automatically communicates detailed 
diagnostic data to the maintenance ofce, including overall 
values, energy bands, high resolution spectra, and waveforms. 
Once stored in the AMS Machinery Manager database, these 
measurements deliver the same diagnostic value as comparable 
readings collected using Emerson’s industry- leading CSI 2140 
Machinery Health Analyzer.
AMS Machinery Manager provides advanced analytical tools 
to trend vibration levels, generate alerts, and diagnose 
developing faults.
Information Available When You Need It
There are now three ways to collect high-resolution spectra 
or waveforms:
1) Time-based: Collect readings automatically on a scheduled 
basis, i.e. once every two weeks.
2) On-alert: Collect readings automatically whenever an alert 
is registered based on either the overall vibration or the 
PeakVue impacting.
3) On-demand: Manually initiate a reading at any point when 
current diagnostic data is required.
This allows you to quickly and easily access current health 
information about your rotating assets without leaving 
your desk. 
AMS Device Manager uses EDDL technology to create an asset 
dashboard with clear indication of device and asset status.
