Key Features

4-Channel Measurement
With the appropriate 4-channel accelerometer input multiplexer, the CSI 2130 can be configured for multi-channel vibration measurement. This is particularly useful for comparing vibration signals from several measurement locations.

Advanced Vibration Analysis
The CSI 2130 supports advanced vibration-analysis functions for diagnosing rotating equipment problems, including:
Bearing defects
Gear defects
Unbalance
Misalignment
Mechanical looseness
Resonance
Rotor problems
Structural vibration
Machinery operating conditions

Cross-Channel Phase & Orbit Analysis
CSI 2130 supports cross-channel phase and orbit analysis, allowing technicians to investigate shaft movement and relationships between vibration signals.

PeakVue Technology
The CSI platform is associated with Emerson’s PeakVue technology for detecting stress-wave activity associated with developing bearing and gear problems. Emerson documentation describes PeakVue as a method for identifying early signs of bearing and gear deterioration.

Route-Based Monitoring
The CSI 2130 is designed to work with AMS Machinery Manager for route-based vibration monitoring, data collection and analysis. Emerson provides dedicated documentation for transferring CSI 2130 measurement data to AMS Machinery Manager.

What is the Emerson CSI 2130 used for?
The CSI 2130 is used for vibration analysis, machinery condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, balancing and, depending on configuration, shaft alignment.

Is the CSI 2130 a 4-channel analyzer?
The CSI 2130 was available in 1-channel and 2-channel configurations. A 4-channel accelerometer input multiplexer was available to provide 4-channel measurement capability.

What can 4-channel measurement be used for?
Four-channel measurement allows technicians to compare multiple vibration signals simultaneously, which is useful for cross-channel phase, machinery diagnostics and identifying relationships between vibration sources.

Does the CSI 2130 support PeakVue?
Yes. The CSI Machinery Health platform supports PeakVue technology for detecting early indications of bearing and gear deterioration.

Can it perform balancing?
Yes, balancing functionality was available for appropriately configured CSI 2130 systems. The original documentation describes basic single- and two-plane balancing and more advanced balancing functions.

Can it perform shaft alignment?
Yes, shaft-alignment functionality was available as an option/configuration for the CSI 2130. The documentation lists laser alignment packages among the available CSI 2130 configurations.

Does it work with AMS Machinery Manager?
Yes. Emerson provides documentation for communication between the CSI 2130 and AMS Machinery Manager for transferring route and measurement data.
