WORK SMARTER WITH SMART MOTOR CONTROL Find problems before they occur by remotely monitoring and proactively alerting users on key parameters of specific devices in real-time (% thermal capacity, % FLA, Time to trip). Monitor not only electrical parameters but also mechanical with integrated vibration analysis to signal early warning signs such as bearing issues, unbalances, shaft problems, pump cavitation and blower turbulence. A Smart Motor Control solution is built on smart devices capturing real-time data shared via EtherNet within an integrated architecture. This data is contextualised to provide opportunities to reduce your energy costs, proactively maintain your assets, minimise downtime, collaborate with colleagues and improve worker safety. View and trend device specific energy usage for each motor, enabling you to focus improvement programs on power quality, starting technology and process optimisation. Understand when you incur peak demand changes, what your most energy intensive processes are and identify equipment running that could be off. Move from disparate systems to working in a single control architecture and software environment across standard, motion and safety control. Reduce your engineering time, training and maintenance across multiple platforms. Communicate, share and manage incidents with team members at the touch of your smart phone. Save time and production with your maintenance team responding to the latest information. Integrate safety for high productivity and safe machine interaction with a quick return to production from routine maintenance procedures, minimising likelihood of bypassing the safety system. Work smarter and leverage the benefits of Smart Motor Control as part of a Connected Enterprise from NHP and Rockwell Automation.
