Siemens Xcelerator for Digital Drivetrain: Comprehensive digitalization offering along the drivetrain value chain for greater efficiency and sustainability
A new PC-based condition monitoring solution consisting of three components: the new VIB (Vibration) and FPP (Fast Process Parameters) (CM FPP) connection modules, the Drivetrain Analyzer X-Tools software, and the corresponding sensors and sensor cables.
Drivetrain Design includes engineering and simulation tools for the efficient dimensioning, validation, testing, virtual commissioning, and optimization of drivetrains in the design phase of a machine or system.
Drivetrain
Health offers hardware- and software-based sensor and connectivity solutions
for data acquisition as well as coordinated analysis software tools. These
tools provide insights into the behavior of the drivetrain and enable powerful
condition monitoring. Siemens is thus demonstrating how customers can combine
the real and digital worlds of drive technology to achieve efficiency and
sustainability along the entire drivetrain value chain.
DriveSim Engineer for efficient selection, validation, virtual commissioning, and optimization of drive systems
In
the area of simulation and virtual commissioning, Siemens is launching DriveSim
Engineer, the successor to DriveSim Advanced. DriveSim Engineer makes it
possible to create a digital twin of the drive in a virtual environment with
all the parameters and configurations that correspond to the real drive. In
addition to the new SINAMICS S210 series, the new SINAMICS G220 frequency
converters are now also available in the tool. The digital twin technology and
intuitive user interface allow users to simulate, commission, and optimize the
behavior of drive systems in a virtual environment before installing them in
the real world. This significantly increases efficiency and productivity in the
engineering of drive systems and machines. Thanks to its integration in TIA
Portal (Startdrive), DriveSim Engineer is a seamless part of (virtual)
commissioning and makes training in additional tools superfluous. Users benefit
from shorter commissioning times, more accuracy in detecting and resolving
potential problems with drive systems, and real-time insights and analyses for
improving the overall performance of drive systems.
Intelligent condition monitoring for a healthy drivetrain
Siemens
is presenting two intelligent solution packages for high-performance condition
monitoring: a cloud-based solution and a PC-based solution. The two complement
each other and can be used according to requirements. With Drivetrain Analyzer
Cloud, Siemens combines the two applications Analyze MyDrives and Sidrive IQ
Fleet into one innovative app. In addition to a new user interface, Drivetrain
Analyzer Cloud offers users the option of connecting various drive components
such as frequency inverters, motors, or other rotating machines to a drivetrain
and monitoring the drivetrain’s status. Another new product is the Connection
Module IOT (CM IOT), which can be installed and put into operation in just a
few minutes. Highlights include the improved, additional sensor technology, the
new alternative energy concept via an external 24 V connection, and a housing and
component update. The module measures raw data and automatically transfers it
to the cloud. Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud provides immediate information about
anomalies and specific error patterns such as bearing damage, imbalances, or
misalignments, thereby helping to prevent unplanned downtime. The
cost-efficient solution combines condition monitoring with decarbonization by supplying
the user with important additional data and recommendations for action
regarding CO₂
emissions, energy consumption, and energy costs. Another new feature is pump
analytics, which Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud can use to calculate and analyze
system efficiency and specific pump parameters.
In
addition to the cloud solution, Siemens is also presenting another new product,
a PC-based condition monitoring solution consisting of three components: the
new VIB (Vibration) and FPP (Fast Process Parameters) (CM FPP) connection
modules, the Drivetrain Analyzer X-Tools software, and the corresponding
sensors and sensor cables. The CM VIB and CM FPP connectivity modules record
vibration and analog signals at a sampling rate of 96 kHz. All sensor
information can be recorded and transmitted synchronously. Now users can also
analyze high-speed, intermittent machines such as automotive presses, cranes,
or machine tools with two synchronous axes. Drivetrain Analyzer X-Tools is an
expert tool for highly dynamic data acquisition up to 192 kHz as well as for
manual data analysis. Because X-Tools can connect to almost any data source,
users can ideally use X-Tools as an analytics toolbox to link their own
analytics with elements of a preconfigured library. For example, the software
can be used to monitor bearing temperature, housing vibrations, and oil
lubrication, meaning pressure and flow, in heavy machinery equipped with plain
bearings. In this way, Drivetrain Analyzer X-Tools and the new connectivity
modules contribute to higher machine availability, better performance, and a
longer system service life.
With
Siemens Xcelerator for Digital Drivetrain, Siemens is introducing a
comprehensive range of IoT-capable hardware and software for the entire
drivetrain from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio – for the first time at the
Hannover Messe.
