PlantProtech Protection and Condition Monitoring Systems

Online monitoring systems for your strategic rotating plant

PlantProtech™ is Beran's platform for condition monitoring of rotating machinery, built on over twenty years of industrial experience and innovation.

The PlantProtech™ hardware and software family is in use throughout the world, with over 500 systems currently being utilised within the power industry. The PlantProtech™ range is installed on nuclear, fossil, hydro, and combined cycle industrial plant (CCGT).

Originally designed to meet the requirements of the Central Electricity Generation Board (CEGB) VCM7 specification, our PlantProtech™ systems have been proven to pay for themselves many times over. As user requirements have increased, the PlantProtech range has developed accordingly.

By means of continuous online vibration monitoring, changes in the health of the plant may be detected early. Powerful analysis tools allow the root cause of the problem to be identified, allowing operators to make crucial decisions, in many cases allowing their plant to be run with confidence at reduced load through to planned outage and scheduled maintenance.

The PlantProtech™ range of hardware and software products provides you with a solid foundation, which can be added to and expanded as and when required, ensuring the safety of your investments.

Real-time

PlantProtech™ real-time capability allows you to analyse the machine state in real-time on-screen, as it is happening, allowing direct correlation with other station protection equipment and process data.

Parallel analysis

Parallel data acquisition is important to enable the user to understand the full dynamic behaviour of the machine. PlantProtech™ Analysers feature parallel dynamic acquisition for both steady-state and variable-speed plant modes, with simultaneous measuring of vibration and process parameters.
