Beckhoff’s AM8000, AM8300, AM8500, AM8700 and AM8800 series servomotors are available with the innovative Beckhoff Smart System Diagnosis. With B/SSD, it is possible to monitor motors and systems in real-time with minimal effort, implementing effective predictive maintenance.
Precise measurement of vibrations, humidity and temperatures directly in the motor provides the basis for statistical evaluation with TwinCAT Analytics, allowing machine conditions and processes to be monitored and necessary action in time to ensure maximum machine uptime.
B/SSD employs One Cable Technology (OCT), eliminating the need for additional sensors and sensor cables.
Thanks to full integration in TwinCAT Analytics, live data and historical data can be recorded, clearly visualised and processed into valuable information with B/SSD for machine optimisation. Vibration measurements can be performed as an average value (RMS) with peak values, or statistically (kurtosis) up to ±50 g.
