Diagnostics and History

Records

Because the entire controller family is fully integrated, diagnostics is significantly enhanced.

All controllers in the range offer:

• Extremely powerful yet flexible history recording to enable analysis after a fault condition.

The data is exportable to common file formats for analysis by third party tools

• Extensive status monitoring of alarms, trips, and user defined events

• Tele-diagnostics / Tele-maintenance Diagnostics data can be viewed or extracted 

sing one of several common tools, including a Drive Data ManagerTM keypad,

a PC based visualisation package, or a central programming console(for a large system).

To satisfy the diverse requirements of its extensive range of available speed drives,

ALSTOM has a range of controllers available from 16-bit, fixed point, embedded

software versions to 32-bit floating point versions.

ALSTOM recently developed a new power electronic controller family (PEC) that ranges

from single card units (standard or advanced) for products and small systems to modular,

rack based arrangements, suitable for the most complex applications.

ALSTOM has embarked on a programme to make the PEC family available for all of its solutions.

The advantages that the PEC family will bring to the user are numerous, some features are highlighted below.
