1.1 Overview of functions
Condition monitoring services
Measurement and documentation of the current machine status on the basis of
predefined, standardized tests and continuous recording of status characteristics
(traverse path, traverse time and traverse operations for one axis). The test pa-
rameters can be defined centrally and configured with appropriate warning limits.
Using series of measurements, it is also possible to identify trends and apply them
as a basis for optimizing maintenance and service activities.
The machine operator can then carry out these predefined tests quickly and easily
and without additional test equipment.
The following tests and monitors are available:
•
Circularity test
•
Synchronous operation axis test
•
Universal axis test
•
NC monitor
•
Variable monitor
Data services
Save the current control archives (NCK and PLC archives) on the ePS Server. In
the event of faults, they can be reimported into the controller in a controlled manner
and used as reference for comparisons of control monitors.
Workflow services
Triggering of service and maintenance processes by notification via media that are
internal and external to the system (SMS, e-mail, service cases). Planning,
monitoring, and documentation of maintenance activities on the machine.
Maintenance schedules support you in the following tasks:
•
"Look Ahead" maintenance relating to load and usage (see: Control monitors
with machine and service triggers)
•
Automated triggering of operating sequences when faults are detected (see:
Maintenance schedules, maintenance jobs, fault help requests, and service
cases).
•
Planning condition monitors in terms of dates and content, and monitoring
their processing (see: Maintenance schedules, maintenance jobs and control
monitors)
The Workflow Services can respond to all event sources of the Control Monitor
Services and Condition Monitor Services.
