What is DriveMonitor™?

DriveMonitor™ is a diagnostic intelligent system that consists of a hardware

module inside the drive, as well as a software layer that automatically collects

and analyses selected drive signals and parameters.

In its basic functionality DriveMonitor™ “watches” the converter of a drive system.

Its role is to continuously monitor the status and to respond when changes occur.

Potential trigger events are unexpected drive stoppages, alarms

(signals crossing threshold values) and user parameter changes. DriveMonitor™

also generates application-specific alarms and measurements.

This data is extremely useful in determining the root cause of an event.

With extra diagnostic packages, DriveMonitor™ can also monitor other drive system

components, such as main circuit breaker, transformer and the driven machine.

At the highest level, special packages related to the application, such as rolling mills,

water pumps, and compressors, can be integrated into the system.

This expansion can be done at any point in time according to customer preferences.

Scalability and flexibility are the biggest advantages of the DriveMonitor™ system.

DriveMonitor™-based diagnostic routines are valuable extensions to any plant-level

asset management program.
