The Emerson CSI3120 (Part Number: A3120/022-000) serves as a high-performance, dual-channel machinery monitoring module for critical rotating equipment. This module processes raw signals from eddy current proximity probes—such as the EPRO PR6422, PR6423, and PR6426 series—to deliver real-time shaft vibration and radial displacement data. It integrates directly into the MMS3000 and CSI series frameworks, providing essential diagnostic and protection logic for predictive maintenance programs. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Sealed, ensuring laboratory-grade signal processing for your turbines and compressors.
The A3120/022-000 utilizes advanced digital processing to maintain data integrity in high-interference industrial environments.

Precision Dual-Channel Processing: The A3120/022-000 monitors two independent points simultaneously. This dual-channel architecture allows for X-Y orbit analysis, which provides a comprehensive visualization of shaft movement within the bearing clearance.
Automated Drift Compensation: The module features an automatic calibration engine that compensates for thermal drift and probe aging. This ensures that your vibration readings remain accurate over long maintenance cycles without requiring manual recalibration of the signal chain.
Seamless Fieldbus Integration: Standard RS-485 and optional Profibus DP-V1 support allow the CSI3120 to stream digital diagnostics directly to your plant DCS or PLC. This eliminates the signal degradation associated with long analog cable runs.
Ruggedized protection: The module housing resists the electromagnetic noise typical of large motor control centers and power generation halls. Its robust circuitry handles the transients and fluctuations of industrial 24V DC power grids, ensuring 24/7 machinery protection.
Can I use the CSI3120 with third-party proximity sensors?
The A3120/022-000 is factory-optimized for the EPRO PR642x series sensors. While it can technically process signals from other probes that match the input impedance and voltage range, we recommend using original EPRO/Emerson hardware to ensure the accuracy of the automatic calibration and drift compensation features.
How do I configure the module for vibration vs. displacement monitoring?
You set the measurement mode through the MMS/CSI configuration software. The module hardware supports both dynamic vibration signals and static DC displacement signals, allowing you to switch between radial vibration and axial thrust monitoring via software parameters.
Does the A3120/022-000 support hot-swapping?
While the mechanical chassis might allow for insertion, you must bypass the associated machinery protection loops before removing or installing a module. Pulling a module during operation will cause the 0-10V output to drop, potentially triggering a false machine trip if the safety interlocks are active.
Is the A3120/022-000 compatible with the newer AMS 6500 ATG system?
The CSI3120 is primarily designed for the MMS3000 and legacy CSI series monitoring racks. For the AMS 6500 ATG system, you should typically look for the A6500 series cards (e.g., A6500-UM), although some cross-system communication is possible via digital gateways.
