For the realization of these goals, online condition monitoring systems are of paramount importance. Faults can be diagnosed early, maintenance measures scheduled for the optimum timelines and unexpected operational shuts-downs can be avoided. The continuous registration of the machine "health" condition via the fieldbus permits early analysis and reaction prior to the actual occurrence of damage. For this purpose, WAGO offers the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM function modules for recording and processing of the relevant parameters, such as current, temperature, standard signals and machine vibration. Typical applications include standard machines, such as electric motors, ventilators, pumps, air conditioners, etc.
The growing cost pressure with global competition increasingly forces companies to maximize existing saving potential and to implement measures for more efficiency. In the maintenance sector this means the assurance of a fault-free production process, the avoidance of unscheduled machine down-time and the optimum exploitation of the installation lifespan.
