Rockwell Automation has extended the reach of its PlantPAx process automation system to integrate critical rotating assets

Rockwell Automation has extended the reach of its PlantPAx process automation system to integrate critical rotating assets, such as compressors, pumps, turbines and fans. The system is designed to allow users to tie intelligent motor devices into the unified-control architecture.

PlantPAx system users will have access to diagnostic information on any device in the system from any location. Leveraging the EtherNet/IP network, engineers can monitor process conditions such as electric motor current, vibration signatures of key rotating assets and torque signatures of variable speed drives.

The PlantPAx system mirrors the device memory, making data automatically available within the control system. Users can also setup applications in the PlantPAx system to collect and archive performance data from motor control devices into databases for analysis.
