4 Condition Monitoring

300
Growing cost pressure in global competition forces companies to use existing cost reduction potential and to
boost efficiency to an increasing extent. Concerning service and maintenance, this implies provision of
guaranteed trouble-free production processes, to avoid unplanned machine downtime and to use machine life
to full capacity.

In order to achieve these goals, it is vital to implement online conditioning monitoring systems: errors can be
diagnosed in time, maintenance measures can be scheduled optimally and unexpected machine breakdowns
can be avoided.

Consistent machine health monitoring via fieldbus thus allows prognostic analysis and reaction before damage
occurs.
WAGO offers I/O modules for use with the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM that receive and process parameters such as
current, temperature, standard signals or machine vibration.
Typical application areas are in standard machines like electric motors, ventilators, pumps, air conditioning
systems, etc.
