Smart Pneumatic Monitoring
Proposing solutions projected towards the future of automation, built to facilitate connections and dialogue between different technologies to create an intelligent, decentralized and self-controlled pneumatics. In line with this mission, Aventics has developed SPM (Smart Pneumatic Monitoring), a device designed to monitor machine components, making the machining processes leaner and more efficient thanks to the possibility of making numerous diagnoses and if need be modify the parameters on the fly.
Combined with an electropneumatic architecture, SPM processes the information received from the field and sends it to an authorized service provider.
The system is directly connected to the AV series valve terminal and data analysis can be expanded and configured via an open source Node-Red application, while their transmission follows the OPC-UA standard.
Many the advantages offered by this solution, including, first of all the possibility of making changes online; moreover, the modules do not take up any resources from the PLC CPU because the data is managed independently of the control unit. Lastly a reminder that the system allows you to set alarms when exceeding established limits.
