Power and efficiency characteristic of a pump

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library (CML) expands the functionality of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) with blocks for monitoring and analyzing mechanical assets (plant components such as pumps, valves, etc.). The CML blocks serve to increase the efficiency and availability of mechanical assets and to detect any damage at an early stage. They are designed in the APL style and therefore fit perfectly into APL-based process pictures.

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library includes the following blocks:

• PumpMon for monitoring of centrifugal pumps
• VlvMon for monitoring of control valves
• SteadyState for detection of stationary states in a dynamic process
• PST for the online valve test without interfering with production
• PressDropMon for monitoring pressure loss/pressure drop, e.g. in filters

Notes:

• The SIMATIC PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library V8.1 is available as download file:

• The SIMATIC PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library V8.1 can be used in combination with SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.1 (incl. SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library).
• To implement a Partial Stroke Test application, S7 F systems V6.1+SP2 must be installed before the PST block.
