Manually reading device data is both time consuming and an expensive use of an engineer or maintenance manager's time. With Bender's COMTRAXX® COM465, you easily view your entire system via remote access from anywhere in the world. With the appropriate interfaces, you can integrate not only Bender devices, but also third-party devices into your plant monitoring system. The integrated web server provides you with a simple overview of the status of your electrical system on your computer.
Electricians and technicians have a great responsibility of ensuring operations run smoothly. Failure of the electrical installation must be avoided, and faults must be detected as early as possible. Therefore, technicians must regularly check the condition of all electrical equipment. This is often very tedious, time-consuming, and expensive.
This task is complicated because all devices must be checked, from machines, to relays, to fuses, and finally, measuring equipment, in the control cabinet. To simplify this process, one can employ an intelligent system monitoring – which is an easier, faster, and cheaper method of checking devices. In this article, you’ll learn how monitoring an electrical system can become child’s play and discover what you need to do it.
The condition of an electrical installation must be constantly monitored, whether in a factory, hospital, data center, or other high-stakes facility. The systems must run continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The expectation that a knowledgeable technician could be on site all the time is unrealistic and even if they could be, checking system parts for proper functioning and reading measured values in the control cabinets wouldn’t be possible without interrupting the system. Therefore, any faults that occur could remain undetected for a long time, posing a risk to the facility, workers, profits, and more.
What is needed is a modern and clear plant monitoring system that provides a simple and quick overview and also displays faults quickly and reliably. The COMTRAXX® COM465 condition monitor from Bender was developed precisely for this purpose.
