Description

CSI 3120: Product Overview
The EMERSON CSI 3120, with the specific part number A3120 022-000, is a compact, loop-powered machinery health transmitter designed for continuous monitoring of critical industrial equipment. It functions as an early warning system by measuring the overall vibration (typically in velocity, like mm/s or in/s) and bearing temperature of machines, converting these measurements into industry-standard 4-20mA signals. These signals are transmitted directly to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or DCS (Distributed Control System), allowing for real-time monitoring and the generation of alarms to prevent unexpected machine failure.
Installed directly on asset mounts (like pump bearing housings or motor frames), its primary role is to provide a simple, reliable, and cost-effective means of integrating predictive maintenance data into the plant’s control and safety system. It is designed for 24/7 operation in harsh industrial environments, providing a crucial layer of protection for equipment that is essential to production, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Core Features & Customer Value
The transmitter’s primary value is its simplicity and integration capability. It translates complex vibration data into a simple 4-20mA signal that any plant control system can understand. This allows maintenance and operations teams to set alarms directly in the DCS/PLC to alert personnel of deteriorating machine condition before a catastrophic failure occurs, enabling planned maintenance.
Its robust, loop-powered design​ makes it extremely easy to install and requires no external power supply at the device, reducing wiring complexity and cost. The dual-output functionality (vibration and temperature) provides two critical machine health indicators from a single device. For plant engineers, this is a cost-effective solution for monitoring a large number of critical assets, forming the foundation of a predictive maintenance program and helping to avoid costly unplanned downtime.
Typical Applications
In a water treatment plant, CSI 3120 transmitters are mounted on critical cooling tower fans and water circulation pumps. The 4-20mA signals are wired to the plant’s PLC, which is programmed to trigger a high alarm in the control room if vibration levels exceed a pre-set threshold, allowing operators to schedule maintenance before a pump seal fails.
In a chemical processing facility, they monitor large centrifugal compressors. The temperature signal provides early warning of bearing overheating, while the vibration signal indicates imbalance or misalignment, enabling maintenance to be planned during a scheduled turnaround.
