Based on enhancements to the international standard Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL), Emerson Process Management has introduced EDDL enhancements into its motor-pump monitoring technology, the CSI 9210 Machinery Health Transmitter, which acquires vibration, temperature, motor flux, and machine speed on AC motor-pump machine trains, analyzes the measured data, calculates machinery health, issues alerts if necessary, and recommends action to be taken. With the EDDL improvements, end users now have improved access to details surrounding the analysis results, thus enabling them to make even better operational decisions. Emerson recently announced a move towards the enhanced EDDL interface for its field devices and valves, which will drive new displays that use familiar dialog boxes to present graphs, charts, and trending of dynamic variables in addition to text, and archived data in a consistent, familiar format.www.ap.emersonprocess.com
