Condition monitoring with smart frequency inverters

In the digi­tal indu­stri­al envi­ron­ment, modern con­di­ti­on moni­to­ring and main­ten­an­ce of machi­nes is car­ri­ed out via smart dri­ve tech­no­lo­gy and enables remo­te main­ten­an­ce at the DCS. Fre­quen­cy inver­ters are now equip­ped with such high-per­for­mance con­trols that mea­su­re­ments and their eva­lua­tions are pos­si­ble direct­ly on the device. Con­nec­ted via cur­rent BUS and net­work tech­no­lo­gy, the sta­tus infor­ma­ti­on of the dri­ve and machi­ne is for­ward­ed to hig­her-level systems. The sta­tus is gra­phi­cal­ly dis­play­ed via war­ning and limit fields and allo­ws the system ope­ra­tor to car­ry out pre­dic­ti­ve main­ten­an­ce that avo­ids unex­pec­ted failures.

We have been obser­ving the mar­ket sin­ce the announce­ment of the smart con­di­ti­on moni­to­ring func­tions and are using them in initi­al pro­jects. In addi­ti­on to the con­di­ti­on of the machi­ne, pro­cess-accom­pany­ing fac­tors and events can also be checked via the load enve­lo­pes. The use of pre­dic­ti­ve main­ten­an­ce systems saves resour­ces and the FI is often a repla­ce­ment for an uncon­trol­led appli­ca­ti­on, which pri­ma­ri­ly saves valuable energy.

Opti­mi­sa­ti­on with pre­dic­ti­ve main­ten­an­ce systems and reduc­tion of life cycle costs (LCC) is curr­ent­ly on everyone’s lips. Our con­sul­tants and engi­neers will be hap­py to help you deve­lop and imple­ment the right solu­ti­on for your application.
