Intelligent & Comprehensive Fault Diagnosis
The intelligent fault diagnosis feature of e-MCM makes it very simple to use by the maintenance personnel.
Rather than overwhelming the end-user with raw signals and data, e-MCM provides processed data results in an actionable form.
Utilizing a database of over 10 million fault signatures, e-MCM detects and diagnoses issues up to 6 months in advance, ensuring prompt intervention.
- Mechanical Faults: Loose foundation, unbalance & misalignment, belt, gearbox, bearing, impeller, fan blade and more..
- Electrical Faults: Stator, rotor, winding isolation, power quality ,power circuit and more..
- Process Issues: Cavitation, clogging, overload, low efficiency, plugged filters, flow turbulence and more..
Pump Performance Monitoring
- Smart Flow & Pressure Estimation:Utilizes advanced algorithms to accurately estimate flow and pressure using only motor power data—no external sensors required.
- External Sensor Integration:Seamlessly integrates with external flow and pressure sensors if available, enhancing monitoring precision and data depth.
- Duty Point Tracking:Continuously monitors the pump’s duty point, highlighting deviations from the Best Efficiency Point (BEP) to maintain optimal performance.
- Automatic Condition Diagnosis:Automatically diagnoses pump operating conditions, delivering specific insights that enable operators to take timely and informed actions.
- Energy Efficiency Optimization:Identifies inefficiencies and optimizes pump operations to enhance energy usage, reducing overall operational costs and improving sustainability.
