Emerson’s AMS Asset Monitor is a field-mountable device to collect data from driven

and non-driven assets by using different types of sensors such as piezoelectric and

eddy current vibration sensors. The monitor analyzes the data to determine machine

health and provide alarms where appropriate, and based on the machine state.

The AMS Asset Monitor is designed to carry a combination of up to 12 CHARMs –

VI Piezo CHARMs, VI Tach CHARMs, VI Voltage CHARMs, and compatible DeltaV™

CHARMs – to connect input and output signals.

AMS Asset Monitor can be used as a standalone prediction device with basic protection

functions, or can be integrated into a network of multiple AMS Asset Monitors with

connections to complementary systems such as Emerson’s Plantweb™ Optics platform.

The installation of additional software on PC or laptop is not necessary. Web browsers

can be used to configure and control AMS Asset Monitor.

The input signals measured by sensors mounted on the equipment are connected

through sensor-specific CHARMs to the signal processing of the AMS Asset Monitor.

Ideal for deployment across your plant or enterprise, the AMS Wireless

Vibration Monitor offers the following benefits:

• Automated machine monitoring with a lower total cost of ownership.

• Simple installation in about 5 minutes.

• Fleet management tools for fast configuration in the shop or in the field.

Product Description

Fisher WhisperFlo trim represents state-of-the-art solutions for applications

that demand noise attenuation. Control valves with WhisperFlo trim provide

additional attenuation for aerodynamic noise in very demanding vapor or 

gas applications with high pressure drops. A WhisperFlo cage with an appropriately

sized valve body is designed to reduce the noise level up to -40 dBA.

For special applications, -50 dBA attenuation can be achieved

Features

• Use of WhisperFlo trim provides excellent noise attenuation for very

demanding applications. It should be considered for those applications

that more conventional solutions cannot reach.

• Quick change trim allows fast and easy inspection of the cage without taking 

the valve body out of the line. WhisperFlo trim is interchangeable

with standard control valve trim.

• Hardened materials or a unique wear surface construction are standard

to provide excellent wear resistance. The three dimensional flow path,

pressure-staging, and special passage shapes uniquely combine to equalize energy dissipation.

• WhisperFlo trim has higher capacity at conventional valve travels and

port sizes than tortuous path designs.

• Standardized port sizes provide capability to retrofit existing valves.

Product Description

Fisher Whisper Trim I cages offer proven aerodynamic noise control

that is effective for vapor, gas, or steam flow applications.

The Whisper Trim I cage utilizes multiple orifices of a special shape, size,

and spacing to minimize noise generated by the flow of vapor, gas,

or steam through a control valve. Using a Whisper Trim I cage,

in conjunction with a properly sized valve body, can substantially

reduce the noise level below that of valves with standard trim.

Product Description

Whisper Trim III cages provide effective attenuation of aerodynamic noise in vapor, gas,

or steam applications involving high pressure drops or high pressure drop ratios.

Using a Whisper Trim III cage in conjunction with a properly-sized valve body

can substantially reduce the noise level of the control application.
