Preventive maintenance

[Joonas]

Hello,

IndraDrive has software option "Productivity Agent" for monitoring the condition of components. Is this also available for ctrlX drives? If not, are there any similiar solutions available or in planning?

Hello.

The "Productivity Agent" have some different technology functions, which function you want use use with ctrlX Drive?

[Joonas]

Hi,

Functions such as Mechanical Analysis, Frequency Response Measurement and Analysis and Envelope Curve Monitoring could be useful. Basically anything that can be used to monitor and analyze condition of the system. In addition, the goal is to find out what are the IIoT cababilities of ctrlX drive, and what are the feasible solutions to collect data for data-analytics.

[Drives_Uwe · Accepted solution]

The mechanical analysis and the frequency response measurement analysis is possible using the standard ctrlX DRIVE Engineering functions. See as well the following How-To: https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/Store-and-How-to/Check-regulation-loop-settings-by-u...

The already implemented functions and parameters for IIoT are the following:

Additionally eight signals selectable for the oscilloscope function (like within ctrlX DRIVE Engineering) might be used for trending (cyclically transmitting) of information in a 2 ms cycle or used in quasi scope mode with trigger, single shot, etc. and transfered over IIoT.

An envelope monitoring is not possible yet, but could be easily added as a TechFunc.
