ABB is expanding its Ability Condition Monitoring service for the drive train, which connects drives, motors, pumps and bearings, with an option for the condition-based maintenance of drives. The software enables early warning of unusual operating conditions that could lead to the premature failure of a drive with the corresponding components. Cloud-based algorithms and statistical analyses are used to determine the stress on the components and calculate their remaining service life. If a failure is predicted before the next scheduled maintenance, measures can be initiated to prevent an unplanned downtime. In some cases, the new service may also reveal that the drive components are subject to less stress than usual. In this case, the regular preventive maintenance intervals can be extended to achieve higher productivity and cost reductions. As a first step, ABB's condition-based maintenance service is available for air-cooled ACS800 and ACS880 series drives. The accuracy of the predicted remaining service life depends on the specific application. In many cases, however, the failure of drive components can be predicted one or even two years in advance.
