Sentinel^®-CPM

Sentinel^®–CPM has been a resounding success for our customers, but there’s a lot more to come.

We recognize that our newly developed Compressor Diagnostic Program will be a significant benefit in supporting our goal of providing equipment to support the health and safety of your reciprocating equipment. 

Our motto, Our Customers Come First is reflected in this new product and we are proud to share that our Diagnostic Program is installed on every MMS Sentinel-CPM board. Our board connects directly to your Unit PLC to exchange data. We believe this is a big win for our customers and best of all, there are no monthly subscription fees nor data that must be uploaded to a third-party company’s web application in the cloud. The data resides on your system, assuring a secure, accessible storage structure.

What began as a need for a secure, TSA Compliant log-in authentication our customers requested, has grown into a solution for the ever-increasing need for remote monitoring and automated compressor diagnostics.

To the novice, a crank-end suction valve leak might appear the same as a packing leak. By employing Warren Laible’s algorithms, we have succeeded in analyzing the phased PV Curves, temperatures, flow characteristics, clearances etc., comparing them to the theoretical values generated in ACI’s eRCM Model in near real time. The output is your compressor health status that watches over your compressor 24/7. 

Additional Field trials are scheduled for the Diagnostic Program logic to ensure the product exceeds our customer’s expectations on a wide variety of applications. We will report back with our results in the next few months, or as soon as the trials have been completed. 

Education & Training

Customers have asked for online education and training to meet the needs of their mobile workforce.  

We developed a learning management system available through the MMS website. (MMS Learn)

Additional online training programs are under development.

Our first course “Engine Mean Peak Firing Pressure Balancing” is now online. 

Curriculum is being planned for two areas of content. 

Basic Training: 

1. Balancing an engine

2. Understanding the basics of compression

3. Vibration monitoring 

MMS Equipment Training: 

1. Snapshot Balancer Equipment Training

2. MachineryRx Training

3. Sentinel – CPM Equipment Training

Thinking back,

we are reminded of how 2022 started with a bang!

Monthly Newsletter

Customers asked that we kept them in the loop with MMS product development. We developed a monthly newsletter. Each newsletter has a personal note from Steve, Equipment information and a short training topic. We hope you find our newsletters helpful in your business. Each newsletter is posted on our MMS News web page. We promise our customers that we will not overload their inbox so we keep our emails to once each month.
