New Concepts in Machinery Protection and Monitoring

Protection systems, in general, are based on analog designs and require expensive modifications and component changes to provide the level of protection your modern machinery requires to operate profitably.

Recent advances in the process control field have led to the integration of digital electronics with host computers to control the processes these machines handle. These new microprocessor based protection/monitoring systems will revolutionize the interaction between the maintenance and process activities. The attached paper describes many of the advantages and new monitoring concepts that modern digital machinery protection can offer.
