Experts in valve automation solutions, with global headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, Emerson Process Management now has an IEC 61508:2010, Safety Integration Level (SIL) certification, Level 1, for its CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor. This SIL-1 rating makes it suitable for use in delivering reliable protection monitoring in environments such as steam and gas turbines in power plants, critical refinery assets, nuclear industry critical assets and other safety-critical applications.
The CSI 6500 provides insight into the health of critical assets with both protection and prediction in a single chassis. The CSI 6500 integrates seamlessly into an overall Safety Instrumented System (SIS) to provide operators information in a format that they are used to seeing on a standard distributed control graphics screen.
