Overview¶
The drivetrain is core in countless manufacturing processes. Malfunctions or failures of motors, drives, gearboxes etc. therefore result in costly downtimes. Whether frequency converters, motors, or other rotating and non-rotating components of your machine – Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud allows you to monitor the condition of your equipment, analyze and optimize your drivetrain health and energy consumption, enabling easy predictive maintenance.
Leverage the cloud for improving your drivetrain operations:
Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud allows you to easily avoid unplanned downtimes and reduce costs, all with the help of the cloud.
- Fleet Management: Monitor the condition of your distributed assets from anywhere in the world. 24/7 available.
- Optimize Health: Advanced AI allows to analyze the health of your motors and equipment. See the motor and pump health in the form of an easy-to-understand traffic light, allowing for predictive maintenance.
- Improve Energy: Observe CO2 emissions, energy usage and costs related to your assets. You even get recommendations for improvements, helping you to save money and energy.
Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud¶
The SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 or CONNECTION MODULE IOT sensor module connects drivetrain components with the cloud-based application Drivetrain Analyzer. This enables you to improve the productivity, reliability, and service options of your drivetrain.
You can transfer operating data to Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud where it is saved and analyzed via a CONNECTION MODULE IOT or SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 sensor module. Drivetrain Analyzer shows the user the operating data of the asset and the results of the operation and status analysis and provides, for example, recommendations for predictive maintenance activities.
In addition to the SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 and Connection Module IOT, Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud also offers the possibility to connect and monitor SINAMICS drives in the cloud. This enables holistic drivetrain monitoring, from mechanical to electrical, all in the same dashboard and application. In addition, the CMS1200 Condition Monitoring System can be connected to the cloud, enabling continuous and accurate monitoring of the condition of mechanical components in your drivetrain using wired sensors.
Motor Monitoring¶
In the fleet application area, you can monitor Siemens and 3rd party low-voltage motors that are connected to Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud via the SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 or Connection Module IOT sensor module.
The data that you read out with Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud allows you to view several assets in an overview. Among other things, you can monitor and read out the following information in the application area:
- Status information
- Asset information
- Various signals, for example:
- Speed
- Electrical power
- Information related to preventive maintenance
- Alarms and warnings
The Fleet application area offers you various functions for identifying and evaluating an asset:
- Localization of the asset using a map
- Asset filter function
- Visualization of signals over a period of time
- Logbook function (to document maintenance measures)
- Profile of the motor profile
- Central access to product-specific support pages (SIOS, Spares on Web, etc.)
- Setting the email notification and display of the Connection Module IOT device data
- Thresholds for the output of warnings and errors
- Exporting of asset data
- Supporting maintenance planning with operating hour-based time schedules
Generic Vibration Monitoring¶
In addition to low-voltage motors, you can mount Connection Module IOT on other components of the drive train. These include the following components:
- Gearbox
- Coupling
- Pillow block bearing
- Pump
- Fan
- Compressor
- Other rotating and non-rotating equipment
For these components, in Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud you can configure the assets for "Generic vibration monitoring". The monitoring is based on temperature and vibration signals.
NOTE: The function is limited to temperature and vibration monitoring. Currently, only restricted analysis functions are available for "Generic vibration monitoring".
The Fleet application area is adapted to the functional scope of "Generic vibration monitoring".
Drive Monitoring¶
In the Fleet application area, you can monitor drives that are connected to Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud via the Insights Hub connectivity solution.
The data that you read out via the Fleet application area permits you to view several assets in an overview. Among other things, you can monitor and read out the following information in the Fleet application area:
- Status information
- Asset information
- Various signals, for example:
- Active power
- Speed
- Information related to preventive maintenance
- Alarms and warnings
