Your benefits

Various target systems – software can be set up flexibly
on the controllers from SEW-EURODRIVE or on Edge units, or on process-related IT systems on the customer side.

Retrofitting possible – Condition Monitoring even for existing systems
for environments with Ethernet-based fieldbus systems, because the devices can be connected to the software via radio or cable through existing network channels.

Meaningful data – Smart Data
because it is possible to access the entire data range and the real-time-capable scope functions, so the system obtains the most meaningful information.

Easy to use – configurable
thanks to the individual setup of the desired data packages through a wide range of configuration options on the user interface. The upload can be synchronized with the process or given a time delay.

Collecting and converting sensor data from frequency inverters and controllers

The DriveRadar ® DataCollector software turns all the Generation B electronic drive inverters (control cabinet technology and decentralized technology) into "smart devices" that supply valuable information directly from the application for Condition Monitoring and in-depth system analyses.

In this way, our frequency inverters and controllers detect IIoT device and sensor data, which can then be recorded automatically and saved in the form of JSON files . This includes both scope recordings and also individual parameters.

To allow the device-specific, coded values obtained in this way to be converted into conventional file formats and saved in the end, the conversion tool DriveRadar ® DataConverter should also be downloaded and installed in addition to the DataCollector.

DriveRadar® DataCollector and DataConverter – always together as a team

Collection and forwarding of sensor data from frequency inverters, controllers, and other devices

For condition monitoring and predictive maintenance purposes, it's essential to get data from devices to determine their status. DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector was developed specifically for this data acquisition task. It collects data from the selected devices and sends this to any desired endpoint in a cloud or on a hard drive. This data can be supplied as either parameters (individual value query) or scopes (observation over a measuring period). Preconfigured containers that ensure optimized device monitoring can be used to make things easier.

An ideal result can only be achieved by using both the software tools together, as they are coordinated with each other. They should therefore be set up together, either on process-related IT systems on the customer side, on Edge units, or on controllers from SEW-EURODRIVE.

An overview of the functions of the DriveRadar ® DataCollector software:

  • Provision of IIoT device and sensor data (scope data and device parameter data) through automatic or manual recording and saving
  • Automatic parameterization of the device scopes

An overview of the functions of the DriveRadar ® DataConverter software:

  • IloT sensor data coded for specific devices (scope data and device parameter data) from the JSON files generated by the DriveRadar ® DataCollector are converted into directly usable device values
  • Manual or automatic conversion is possible
  • Source and target directories for JSON files can be chosen as required

The cloud level includes a variety of endpoints. Besides the customer cloud or the http(s) endpoint, data can also be sent to the SEW-EURODRIVE cloud, where it is processed and put to further use. From there, the data can be utilized and visualized in the DriveRadar® IoT Suite web app for applications.

The edge level acts as an interface between the device and cloud levels. DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector collects all data within the IoT system. In addition to controllers and external sensors, this also includes drive inverters, the software's main data source.

Countless devices in the SEW-EURODRIVE family can be used as data sources for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Data is collected via an Ethernet interface or via OPC UA. Everything from frequency inverters and controllers to external sensors and sensor modules can thus be incorporated as data sources.
