Motor Condition Monitoring

Technology-based services for

agreater competitive edge
Minimum downtime and the optimum
use of staff and resources are key to
sustainable success in industry. Siemens
provides the basis for greater produc
tivity, flexibility, and efficiency with
technology-based services throughout
the lifecycle of an industrial plant
reliably, globally, and around the clock.
In-depth technology and product knowl
edge as well as industry expertise within
Siemens global network of experts
ensure aconsiderable competitive edge.

The challenge:
Correctly assessing the
condition of components
Drive components like motors, couplings,
and gears are typically highly stressed
components that are exposed to varying
levels of constant wear and tear, depend
ing on the service life and load. This wear
cannot always be observed with the
naked eye over an extended period,
and can result in failures, unscheduled
shutdowns, and incalculable financial
loss. It is therefore crucial to be able to
correctly assess the condition of the
components at all times.

The solution:
Motor Condition Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of drive compo
nents makes it possible to recognize
changes in their operating conditions
early on and take appropriate action
to prevent costly plant shutdowns and
production losses. Within the scope of
a service contract, Siemens Industrial
Services offers a condition monitoring
portfolio with both standardized and
customized solutions for plants of
any size:

Basic
Vibration measurement with a
handheld device at agreed intervals
Service and monitoring around the
world from a Siemens service center
or a center certified by Siemens
Advanced
Continuous vibration and temperature
monitoring of individual motors via
a motor condition-monitoring box
Remote monitoring by certified
condition-monitoring experts
at the manufacturers plant
In-depth analysis to determine causes
Regular status report with
recommended actions

Premium
Customizable and scalable system
for monitoring all of a drive trains
measurable variables
Monitoring of several motors
simultaneously rather than
individual motors
Remote monitoring by certified
condition-monitoring experts
at the manufacturers plant
In-depth analysis to determine causes
Regular status report with
recommended actions

The benefit:
Reliable system availability
With motor condition monitoring, plant
operators benefit from a variety of
advantages that facilitate a seamless,
cost-efficient operation of all systems:
Optimal reliability and availability,
thanks to professional monitoring of
the systems by DIN ISO 18436-certified
condition monitoring experts from
Siemens
Utilization of all components right up
to their wear limit
Minimization of unscheduled plant
shutdowns and a reduction in conse
quent damage
Time and cost savings due to early
planning and optimization of mainte
nance and service activities
Improvement in machine and
plant availability
Cost optimization as a result of the
high degree of customization of
the hardware and software concept
