Integration with GE Energy’s System 1®

Field devices and machinery account for 51% of plant maintenance costs.

GE Energy's System 1 is a proven software platform for real-time optimization of equipment and selected processes, condition monitoring, and even diagnostics.

Through integration with System 1, PRM is able to provide a single monitoring window for the diagnosis of turbines, rotating equipment and reciprocating equipment, in addition to field instrumentation such as pressure transmitters and flowmeters.

Benefits

Maintenance strategies are optimized for maximum effectiveness.

Risk to operations is reduced through improved capabilities, safety, and business performance.

Costs are controlled though more effective planning and the avoidance of unexpected shutdowns/catastrophic failures.

Cost savings are achieved by reducing the need for manual data collection.

Equipment damage is prevented by ensuring it is operated inside design parameters.

FieldConnex® Advanced Diagonostic Module(ADM)

In addition to supporting the use of powerful tools such as oscilloscopes and data historians, ADM has a unique commissioning wizard that can reduce up to 80% the amount of time required for the critical plant start-up phase.

ADM's online monitoring capabilities provide actionable information through PRM’s user interface, indicating changes in the fieldbus physical layer before they become critical.

The integration of the FieldConnex ADM interface widens the scope of PRM's asset management capabilities to include the communication status of FOUNDATION™ fieldbus segments.

Benefits

End Users and Plant Operators:

Minimizes installation time

Speeds up commissioning

Increases plant uptime

Simplifies verification of explosion protection

Engineering Companies:

Simplifies planning

Eliminates unnecessary engineering

Documents the complete segment for plant handover

Maintenance Teams:

Enables a proactive maintenance approach

Reduces frequency of outages

Maximizes device uptime

CMMS* Interface

PRM has a CMMS interface for Maximo, an enterprise asset management (EAM) system from IBM Software, Inc. With an interface for CMMS, the Maximo can provide better maintenance operation by acquiring real-time device information from PRM when both systems are connected.
