Machine monitoring system SPECTRA™

processdigital

SPECTRA™ digital drive data DDD represent an excellent add-on to the existing spectrum of Montronix process monitoring systems. Such monitoring can be based exclusively on digital drive data, but can also be set up with external sensors. Up to 16 drives or axes can be monitored with the help of digital drive data. In addition to DDD, conventional sensors can be used, offering an extensive and exact differentiation of processes. All machine types can be monitored via digital drive data, provided it is an „open“ CNC control by Siemens, Fanuc, or Indramat. The DDD bus data are read via profibus or interbus, with the SPECTRA™ -PCI card providing the PC-contained version. SPECTRA™ BL, SL, and GL systems continue to be external solutions, installed in the respective control cabinets. The machine manufacturer can thus install the systems individually and quickly, enabling the final customer to retrofit and upgrade them without any difficulties. Setting up the bus data follows the same principles as with all other sensors. The procedures to set up parameters remains the same. The user will decide which of the measured drives provides the most significant signal. Setting the monitoring parameters is then performed automatically.
