1 Increase drive availability, cut lifecycle costs Drive Train Condition Monitoring from Siemens Industry Services

2 Vibration monitoring is the most reliable method to ensure early identification of mechanical faults often months in advance. Drive Train Condition Monitoring records the relevant data for all components in the drive train and transmits it to the Siemens Expert Center for analysis, together with parameters such as temperature or torque. Secure Remote Connection Vibration Temperature Speed Torque Drive Train Condition Monitoring Individually configurable, scalable system to monitor all variables on a drive train Simultaneous monitoring of several motors and gearboxes and additional process variables in a single system Remote monitoring by certified condition-monitoring experts at the manufacturer s plant In-depth analysis to determine causes Scheduled status report containing recommendations 2

3 Scalable services to monitor your entire drive train Identify impending damage in good time using Drive Train Condition Monitoring Ensuring permanent availability in production plants is the top priority for every operator. It is the only way to guarantee the continuous productivity of industrial manufacturing, conveying and processing systems and Drive Train Condition Monitoring is necessary to achieve this goal. It enables the scheduling of maintenance activities along the entire drive train based on the condition of the system. Key components are the motors and gearboxes. They have to be monitored constantly if impending damage is to be identified and rectified in good time. Only Siemens maintains an overview of the entire drive train By monitoring the entire drive train, Siemens experts can also include interactions between the individual components in their analysis. The monitoring data is combined within a single system and is analyzed by certified Siemens experts. Plant operators are then contacted in good time, before any critical changes take place, to enable countermeasures to be introduced promptly. Customers receive regular, clearly structured status reports from their personal contacts. "The combination of motor and gearbox monitoring helps substantially reduce lifecycle costs and increasing productivity." Klaus Selbach, Product Manager Three good reasons for Drive Train Condition Monitoring 1. A Condition Monitoring System with optimized services one source, one contact person 2. Online monitoring and data evaluation by certified Siemens experts 3. Condition-based maintenance reduces costs and increases efficiency 3

4 Flexible motor condition monitoring Drive components such as motors are often exposed to extreme stresses and are constantly subject to varying levels of wear and tear, depending on their length of service and the loads placed on them. The strains can often remain invisible to the naked eye for quite some time, leading to outages and unplanned downtimes which may bring financial losses that cannot be calculated. It is therefore vital to be able to correctly assess component status at all times. By continuously monitoring the motors, changes in their operating status can be identified at an early stage and the appropriate countermeasures can be introduced. This makes it possible to avoid costly plant downtimes and production outages. Siemens Industry Services offers a condition monitoring portfolio as part of a service contract that includes standardized and individual solutions for all sizes of plant. "If unexpected damage is imminent, you can schedule plannable countermeasures to avoid unplanned production downtime." Klaus Selbach, Product Manager Three good reasons for Motor Condition Monitoring from Siemens 1. Increased motor availability thanks to detailed familiarity with machine condition 2. Ideal productivity and reliability for your plant and systems 3. Improved servicing intervals and reduced maintenance costs 4

5 Drive systems are key elements in evaluating the reliability and availability of a production system. Using Condition Monitoring makes it possible to monitor key drive components that are susceptible to wear. This means that irregularities in operation can be identified at an early stage, so that plannable maintenance and repair measures can be performed. Motor Condition Monitoring Packages Basic Mobile vibration measurement using hand-held devices available globally Professional data analysis and reporting, with recommendations by motor experts Advanced Condition Monitoring for individual motors using the Motor Condition Monitoring Box Remote monitoring by certified Condition Monitoring experts from Siemens In-depth analysis to determine causes Notification of any changes in vibration characteristics Scheduled status report containing recommendations Premium Individually configurable, scalable system to monitor several motors and/or perform complex monitoring tasks Services as per the Advanced package 5

6 The very first changes in the sensor signals must be recognized if gearbox damage is to be prevented and thus avoid outages. As a gearbox specialist, Siemens provides the analysis, diagnosis and inspection to ensure that all is well with your plant. Siemens uses a wide range of condition monitoring methods to achieve this. The best technologies for conditionbased maintenance for your gearboxes are at your disposal. Gearbox Condition Monitoring Packages Basic Mobile vibration measurement using hand-held devices available globally Professional data analysis and reporting, with recommendations by gearbox experts Advanced Online condition monitoring with remote service Data management and maintenance in the Expert Center notification of any changes in vibration characteristics Premium Stress recording using strain gages Classification of torque signals Event monitoring Monitoring of drive-specific analog signals Scheduled status reports containing recommendations 6

7 Flexible gearbox condition monitoring The top priority for all operators is to ensure the availability of mechanical drive systems. It is the only way to guarantee continuous productivity of manufacturing, conveying and processing systems in industry and primary production. Achieving this goal requires condition-based maintenance of the drive systems. The Gearbox Condition Monitoring System, a subset of Drive Train Condition Monitoring, is a diagnostic tool offered by Siemens that is perfectly tailored to these individual plant operator requirements. Mobile vibration measurement and online condition monitoring systems with remote service make condition-based maintenance a reality. The diagnostic expertise of Siemens gearbox experts, combined with its automation technology, significantly extends the possibilities offered by traditional condition monitoring. "Gearbox Condition Monitoring interprets the data perfectly: damage that causes even just minor changes in vibration characteristics is diagnosed at an early stage as the trend develops." Dr. Jörg Deckers, Senior Key Expert Condition Monitoring Three good reasons for Gearbox Condition Monitoring from Siemens 1. Sufficient lead times for maintenance work 2. Maximum diagnostic reliability assured by the comprehensive technological and product knowledge and industry skills of the diagnostic staff 3. Gearbox service directly from the manufacturer reliable, global, 24/7 7
