From component to system

Theme: Developments in technology

Data from assets is becoming increasingly important for predictive maintenance and energy management. Transparency offers useful diagnostic functions, integrates components directly into the automation system and simplifies IT/OT integration. The result is increased production efficiency and optimized business processes.

The following topics will be discussed in this lecture:

1. Transparency down to the field level
Measurement values are immediately available for status information and assessment, for example to determine in advance what maintenance is required. Thanks to the integrated diagnostic function, errors can be detected and remedied more quickly.

2. Integration into automation
Take for example motor starters which can be fully integrated into the project and programming environment of the automation and have now become an integral part of the
automation world.

3. Proactive security
Thanks to integrated diagnostic functions, faults can be quickly identified. This makes planning preventive maintenance more transparent.

4. Minimal effort
With less complex cabling, simple mounting in the control cabinet and parameterization within the automation system, you save time during commissioning and adjustments to your application.
