Leveraging Digitalization To Reduce Maintenance Costs - Danfoss VLT AutomationDrive FC 300 Series Selection Manual

Leveraging digitalization
to reduce maintenance costs
Unplanned downtime can be costly – both in terms of
maintenance and lost production. Enhancements in the
VLT® AutomationDrive provide more information about
your devices and their performance, and a range of services
optimizes their availability.
Intelligent troubleshooting
When something goes wrong with
your process, the more data you have,
the easier it is to pinpoint and quickly
resolve the cause. New, intelligent
maintenance features utilize the VLT®
AutomationDrive's various sensors to
record and store 2-3 seconds of real-
time information around an Alarm,
Warning or other defined trigger. This
data from up to the last 20 events
is then stored in the memory of the
drive from where it can be retrieved
and inspected within MCT 10. The
addition of the Real Time Clock option
allows the events to be time and
date stamped, providing even more
actionable data than ever before.
Wireless connectivity
The new VLT® Wireless Communication
Panel LCP 103 provides wireless
connectivity to your VLT® Automation-
Drive using the MyDrive® Connect app
for iOS and Android devices. It allows
full and secure access to the drive for
easy commissioning, operation and
maintenance on your smart devices.
Use the advanced LCP copy function to
back up parameters to the storage of
the LCP 103 or your smart device.
Remote access
Offsite accessibility allows for easier
and faster access to both remote
facilities or to large numbers of installed
drives. Utilizing the integrated and
modernized interface of the web server
in the Ethernet-based communication
options, each drive can be remotely
accessed and monitored for operation
and diagnostics purposes saving time
and costs.
Intuitive maintenance
The Danfoss VLT® AutomationDrive
features both preventive and predictive
maintenance functions that provide for
worry-free operation while reducing
maintenance costs and unplanned
downtime. Preventive maintenance
functions can be used to schedule
proactive maintenance alerts based
on running time of the drive and
triggering alerts, visible on the LCP and
transferable over fieldbus. Predictive
maintenance functions turn your drive
into a configurable smart sensor that
continuously monitors the condition
of your motor and application based
on standards and guidelines such as
the ISO 13373 standard for Condition
Monitoring and Diagnostics of
Machines or the VDMA 24582 guideline
for condition monitoring.
