6. Cable replacement / balance of plant
Small-to-medium sized pump-motor sets have the largest number of measurement points in an industrial company; most are not currently monitored by any online-monitoring system
“Balance of plant” implies non-critical use, but costly if disabled
A simple pump-motor set has at least 6 measurement points which could be monitored for temperature or vibration
4-20mA sensors provide trend information (long time-averaged)
Dynamic sensors give diagnostic / predictive output
An iT transmitter provides trend and dynamic information from a single dynamic sensor
Wireless monitoring technology available

10. Case study: Oak-Mitsui™ Their need:
specializes in development and production of world class performance copper foils
headquartered in Camden, SC, locations in Hoosick Falls, NY & Riverside, CA
subsidiary of Mitsui Kinzoku Corporate Group, the world's largest manufacturer of copper foils for electronics
Their need:
to avoid pump motor failures
previously manually monitored via a walk around
doesn’t provide any base line fault data
no set schedule for measurements
hard-wiring analog sensor cables is very expensive

11. Oak-Mitsui solution:
iT113 feeds dynamic acceleration signal of 797T-1 to iT712 for FFT (CBM) monitoring, while providing frequency-banded 4-20mA signals for continuous bearing monitoring.

12. Oak-Mitsui results:
Initial field installation of two iT712 modules (along with sensors, cabling, power supplies, and enclosure) was very successful:
indoor, severely acidic environment
provided valuable trending data from multiple modules and sensors
demonstrated graphical user interface for data logging
data stored in data file for historical display and analysis
demonstrated capability to do FFT analysis of dynamic sensors
wireless data received in office >1000ft away from actual sensors
“Walk-around data was just an infrequent snapshot.  The continuous data allows us to compare to upsets or changes in our process in addition to understanding failures.” - John Fatcheric, COO, Oak-Mitsui

13. Summary
Cost-effective, real-time monitoring for “Balance of Plant” installations
Scalability allows user to simply add additional sensor monitoring points
A GUI interface gives technician a wealth of information, including trending, FFT analysis, historical data logging
Compatible sensing platform, using off-the-shelf IEPE and 4-20mA sensors for ease of installation
Compatible networking platform, using company’s existing b and IT infrastructure
Scalable data output, transmitting low bandwidth 4-20mA information and high bandwidth dynamic information in one unit
BETA testing has proven robustness of design, operating in both acidic and extreme temperature environments
Solution ultimately saves customer significant expense from equipment downtime, by providing trending information on equipment that would have otherwise gone unmonitored or monitored only quarterly or yearly
