System and method for automatic detection of unintended forward and reverse rotations in rotating equipment

A system, comprising:

• a rotary machinery, wherein the rotary machinery comprises:
• at least one rotating component;
• at least one valve;
• a standby mode wherein the at least one rotating component has a rotation speed of zero;
• and
• a running mode wherein the at least one rotating component has the rotation speed of great than zero;
• one or more sensors disposed on or within the rotary machinery, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to collect data on the rotary machinery, and wherein the collect data includes a first input monitoring a rotation speed of the at least one rotating component and a second input monitoring a mode of the rotary machinery;
• a computing system having a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the computing system is configured to receive the collected data from the one or more sensors;
• and
• instructions provided on a software application of the computing system,
• wherein the instructions comprise a sequence of operations for the controller to send alerts to a human machine interface of the computing system and to send commands to the rotary machinery.
