ESA Acquisition Hardware

The ESA system consists of a cRIO (Compact Reconfigurable I/O) controller housed in a NEMA 4X-rated enclosure, equipped with the following I/O modules:

  • Controller — one of the following, depending on the number of motors being monitored:

    • cRIO-9055 (4-slot controller)

    • cRIO-9058 (8-slot controller)

  • NI-9242 or NI-9244 voltage bus input card (for potential transformer measurements)

  • NI-9239 voltage input module (for voltage-output current sensors)

  • Current sensors (clamp-on type, supplied by Cutsforth)

NOTE:

The specific enclosure and controller configuration are determined by the number of motors to be monitored and the site voltage class. Refer to the Installation Planning Guide (EZDP-2148) for full equipment lists and enclosure sizing.

Enclosures

Two standard enclosure sizes are available. The specific enclosure is selected based on the space requirements of the configured product:

Catalog Number

Dimensions (in.)

Dimensions (mm)

SNB-3746

20.0 × 16.0 × 8.0

508 × 406 × 203

SNB-3752

24.0 × 20.0 × 8.0

610 × 508 × 203

NOTE:

Enclosures are rated NEMA 4X, UL Listed Type 1, 2, 4, 4X, 12, 13, and IP65/IP66. Conduit holes are not pre-drilled; conduit sizing and placement are customizable per installation. Adequate sealing hardware should be used to maintain the enclosure ratings.

InsightCM™ Software

InsightCM™ is Cutsforth's application software for continuous condition monitoring. It runs on a customer-supplied server (see Section 5 for server requirements) and provides:

  • An asset tree for organizing monitored motors and voltage buses

  • Real-time and historical data viewing in multiple specialized viewers

  • Automated fault feature extraction and trending

  • Configurable alarming with optional email notification

  • Integration with plant historians via standard protocols

  • Data export for external analysis
