Condition Monitoring to Ensure Reliability for Critical Grinding Equipment in Mining
Today’s mining operations must keep crucial milling assets online and running optimally, but variations in ore particle size, feed rate and moisture content, can lead to plugging, high vibration and machine bearing wear, and ultimately unscheduled stoppages and labor-intensive restarts. Emerson can help you achieve higher mill availability with advanced asset management and monitoring solutions to detect issues early and achieve a more consistent grind while reducing energy consumption.

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. The AMS Asset Monitor can be configured to send overall asset health status and alerts to Emerson’s Plantweb Optics asset performance platform and detailed asset data by OPC UA. Detailed asset information is also available on a user’s mobile device or desktop thin client from the monitors internal web-served Asset Studio interface.
- Wired or wireless Ethernet deployment for greater flexibility
- Intuitive browser-based user interface for easy setup and analysis
- Applications already onboard and with preset alert limits for faster setup

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.
- Designed for use in Hazardous rated areas: CSA C1D2 and ATEX/IECEx Z2
- Prediction assets without critical shutdown criteria
- Prediction layered on top of existing protection
Analog Channels
up to 44 (2 full ATG racks)
Tachometer Channels

The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor delivers full vibration data over a self-organizing wireless mesh network. It provides rich information about machinery health for both operations and maintenance personnel. Overall vibration, PeakVue measurements and temperature readings can be easily integrated into any control system or plant historian, while diagnostic data can be displayed by AMS Device Manager and AMS Machine Works software with alert broadcast via the Plantweb Optics asset performance platform.
- Embedded prescriptive analytics deliver fast, accurate diagnostic information.
- Default settings provide the shortest path to actionable information. Experts can customize settings to fine tune results.
- Easy installation for fast deployment and ROI.
