7 Motor Monitoring with the K6CM Devices and the Software Tool
7-1 Motor Monitoring and Operation Pro-
cedure
This section describes the monitoring and operating the motor using the K6CM.
Monitoring of the motor using the K6CM can be performed by simple monitoring with the K6CM devices
only, monitoring with the software tool, or monitoring using the PCs or PLCs with the EtherNet/IP com-
munications.
It is generally difficult to set the alarm setting (threshold) of the K6CM at the time of start of use.
Therefore, the actual motor monitoring and operation method depends on the following procedure.
1
Start simple monitoring with the K6CM only.
STEP
↓
Record measurement values from the host system (i.e., the software tool, PC, or PLC) to estimate
an alarm set value to be used as the monitoring standard.
• Start monitoring and logging the measured value after setting the "monitoring cycle" of the soft-

STEP
ware tool,
• Start monitoring and logging the measured value after connecting with PCs or PLCs by Ether-
Net/IP communications.
↓
Estimate an alarm set values to be used as monitoring standard, considering the relationship
3

between the change in each measurement value and the fatal state of the motor.
↓
Determine the alarm set values as the monitoring standard based on the monitoring and operation

results.
↓
5
Change the setting of the alarm set values and make main monitoring and operation.
STEP
Section 7 describes simple monitoring with the K6CM devices only and monitoring using software tool.
Section 8 describes monitoring using PCs or PLCs with EtherNet/IP communication.
