ARTESIS MCM ( Motor Condition Monitor )

Artesis MCM and MCMSCADA+Diagnostics

Artesis MCM is a new approach to condition monitoring,  providing all the benefits without             

· The high complications

· The cost of traditional systems

Artesis MCM detects both mechanical and electrical faults by  measuring only current and voltage input.

Artesis brings the power of NASA developed technology to monitor your plant and equipment, giving you simple and clear guidance for your operators and maintainers. It identifies incipient faults on both the electric motor and the driven equipment and alerts your staff as soon as something starts to go amiss. Clever technology makes everything simple – so your staff don’t need extensive training and experience to deliver real benefits.

Artesis MCM (Motor Condition Monitor) is a software and hardware-based product that has been developed by using a model-based monitoring technology and Artesis MCM is being effectively used for process monitoring, predictive and proactive maintenance activities in different sectors of the industry

It is a device that continuously monitors electric motor-based machinery and equipments (fans, compressors, pumps, press machines, conveyors) used in several processes in a plant and has the ability of detecting impending mechanical and electrical failures (imbalance, misalignment, bearing and rotor faults, leakages, valve and vane misadjustments, isolation and other electrical problems) in these systems at the early stages of fault development using only voltage and current measurements. It can pinpoint several anomalies in an equipment, plant or process that might initiate failure generation.

Hence, it prevents unplanned manufacturing downtime and the costs associated with it. Since machinery and equipments are operated at their optimum conditions, the production efficiency of the plant increases.

As a result of finding the root causes of failures, the increase in lifetime expectancy of machinery and equipments adds value to the plant.

The benefits are best realized when the motors are critical, at hard to reach places, or exposed to high vibration. Artesis MCM also works equally well when used on motors that are driven by inverters. Its easy usage helps the staff that is responsible from the flawless operation of processes to do their work more effectively. In addition, Artesis MCM provides information about the quality of the incoming power, energy consumption as well as abnormalities in the plant. The technology used for the detection of impending mechanical and electrical failures is a proven patented technology that has been previously employed in the U.S. aerospace and defense industries including the Space Shuttle Main Engine, helicopter engines and gas turbines. Control Engineering Magazine rewarded it as one of the 40 best products of year 2000.

Artesis MCM: Key Benefits:

· NASA technology – really clever technology makes it really simple to use

· Easy to use

Easy to interpret results

No need to interpret ‘wiggly lines’

Clear guidance on action required

· Monitors condition of the electric motors as well as the driven equipment

· In addition to monitoring condition of equipment, Artesis provides information on plant operating conditions too (information on power consumption, phase angle and total harmonic distortion can allow plant efficiency to be optimized)

· Can monitor equipment in inaccessible locations, e.g.:

Submerged pumps in water industry

Nuclear hazardous areas

Toxic hazardous areas

· Robust

Nothing out on the plant so not prone to damages from corrosion, mechanical damage, heat, vibration, radiation etc.

· Allows monitoring wherever you are-in the office, at another site, from home...

· Provides alerts to your staff to take action

By warning on screen

By sending e-mail

By sending text message

· Easy to integrate with other systems, e.g. CMMS, to raise work orders

· Can support power users if you want

Historical graphs, trends, etc available for easy analysis if required

· Can be provided as an external service- to monitor and advice as required.

· Inexpensive/ great value

· Allows you to:

Improve control over equipment performance

Improve plant performance

Improve control over maintenance work

Provide better visibility of equipment performance and condition

Reduce breakdowns

Respond more rapidly to plant breakdowns

Identify breakdowns more rapidly

Identify breakdowns before they occur

Fix faults more rapidly

Identify faults more rapidly

Artesis MCM’s product line consists of ;

• Artesis MCM LV Line (for Low Voltage Line-driven Motors)
• Artesis MCM LV Inverter (for Low Voltage Inverter-driven Motors)
• Artesis MCM MV&HV (for Medium & High Voltage Motors)
• Artesis MCM MV&HV (for Military applications)

Networking capability is a standard feature of Artesis MCM, and customers can choose to control and monitor the system remotely using MCMSCADA+Diagnostics. This remote monitoring capability can be realized for both local and wide area networks, and necessary information can be brought directly to the desktop, rather than requiring personnel to travel to the machinery.

E-mail and SMS messaging options provide a timely and efficient notification mechanism.
