Condition Monitoring for Challenging Mining Pit Conveyor Applications
As an arterial system in most mining operations, bulk conveyors must be properly monitored and maintained to avoid costly repairs, time-consuming and unsafe manual inspections, and unplanned downtime that could bring your entire process to a halt. Emerson can help minimize downtime with condition-based monitoring systems and wireless transmitters to continuously monitor critical components and provide safe and cost-effective data collection for continued conveyor operation.
Some components, such as the take-up pulley, are difficult to monitor because they travel as much as 100 feet. Wireless monitoring is ideal for this application, while online systems with tachometer inputs maybe be required for the variable speed operations on other parts of the conveyor.

AMS Asset Monitor manages pervasive sensing while providing prediction, protection and edge process monitoring capabilities, mounting at the asset to reduce cabling requirements and installation costs. It accommodates up to 12 CHARMs including Vibration CHARMs as well as DeltaV CHARMs for process inputs.
AMS Asset Monitor features powerful out-of-the-box software functionality via web browser for analysis, reporting, and alerting. This web-based thin client interface features an internal Logic Studio with pre-programmed application solutions for easy-to-understand analysis and alert reporting, and its Asset Studio interface delivers asset information to the user’s mobile device or desktop thin client.
Although no additional software is required to monitor assets with AMS Asset Monitor, it may be paired with
AMS Machine Workssoftware to deliver real-time updates on assets, perform deeper analysis (as compared to native thin client interface), and deploy from cloud architectures for ultimate scalability. Data from AMS Asset Monitor processed at the edge is provided to AMS Machine Works on demand, on alert or on schedule, and can include waveform data and status information for detailed analysis using the vibration analyzer tool in AMS Machine Works. AMS Asset Monitor can be configured to send overall asset health status and alerts to
AMS Opticsvia OPC UA.
- Wired or wireless Ethernet deployment for greater flexibility
- Intuitive browser-based user interface for easy setup and analysis
- Applications already onboard and with preset alert limits for faster setup

For some rotating assets and the processes associated with them, periodic route-based data collection is insufficient to indicate asset health. Online condition monitoring provides the frequency and types of data necessary to stay on top of developing issues during normal operations and to respond quickly to sudden changes during transient conditions. Emerson’s AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is a versatile, scalable system that can be deployed in a variety of configurations to deliver online condition monitoring exactly as needed for the application.
- Designed for use in Hazardous rated areas: CSA C1D2 and ATEX/IECEx Z2
- Prediction assets without critical shutdown criteria
- Prediction layered on top of existing protection
Analog Channels
up to 44 (2 full ATG racks)
Tachometer Channels

The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor delivers full vibration data over a self-organizing wireless mesh network. It provides rich information about machinery health for both operations and maintenance personnel. Overall vibration, PeakVue measurements and temperature readings can be easily integrated into any control system or plant historian, while diagnostic data can be displayed by AMS Device Manager and AMS Machine Works software with alert broadcast via the AMS Optics asset performance platform.
- Embedded prescriptive analytics deliver fast, accurate diagnostic information.
- Default settings provide the shortest path to actionable information. Experts can customize settings to fine tune results.
- Easy installation for fast deployment and ROI.
