Proficy SmartSignal Cycle Watch software identifies virtually all major startup failures on your CTs.
SmartSignal Cycle Watch software uses Predictive Analytics to detect problems that first appear during the stresses of dynamic CT starts.The solution provides early warnings of impending problems and increases reliable starts.
Using patented technology, Cycle Watch software dynamically models the rapidly changing startup cycle with exceptional accuracy, understanding the normal performance for each ambient and load condition and pointing out subtle changes from reference "golden" starts. This allows you to perform necessary repairs before your next startup, ensuring units are reliable and ready when needed.
With Cycle Watch software monitoring your CT, you can be on top of every aspect of CT behavior—what is functioning as expected, and what’s starting to deviate. For example, the Cycle Watch software will inform you when thermocouples begin to drift, fuel valves begin to act up, and nozzles begin to plug. Addressing these issues during normal downtime will prevent a trip from blade path deviations.
The software also will indicate the low temps from contaminated fuel, preventing a flameout and failed start. When bleed valves begin to stick, the software will give you advance notice to make repairs and prevent a compressor stall. When vibration at critical frequencies increases, the insight from SmartSignal Cycle Watch software will let you address bearing, coupling, and casing issues during the next maintenance opportunity and prevent problems down the line.
