Reduce Equipment Downtime with Predictive Maintenance
Allen-Bradley Inverters PowerFlex VFDs with TotalFORCE technology offer a proactive uptime approach
With the right information about the health of your system, you can reduce downtime, maintenance and spare parts costs and mechanical wear.
Operators are notified of issues that can compromise VFDs or motor health, such as overheating, blown fuses or component runtime hours. With predictive analytics data, you can take action and control your shutdown, repairing or replacing equipment during scheduled downtime.
Increase equipment uptime with real-time data:
- Modeling the equipment’s expected outputs
- Receiving notifications over a secure Ethernet network when drive components reach a preset stage of predicted life
- Receiving motor control performance data in real time – continuously monitoring system health
- Setting analytic models to measure ambient temperature, equipment speed or other characteristics
