Smart condition monitoring systems for data, measuring system, and bus cables

The new measuring method determines the data transmission properties of the cable during operation using high-frequency technology. This means that there is no longer any need for additional sacrificial veins. The CF.D module monitors the performance of heavily loaded Ethernet cables that are at risk of failure and directly displays the current status. In addition, the Distance to the recognised hazard area of the cable, which avoids lengthy and costly troubleshooting.

At a glance, the dashboard shows the remaining service life of components equipped with smart technology. In addition, the current status of the intelligent energy supply system is displayed in colour using a traffic light code. This gives the system operator the following at first glance a clear picture of the condition of the system and can plan the upcoming maintenance intervals in advance.

"The machine works with really high stroke rates in a relatively small installation space. For this reason, we needed cables with high flexural strength. Furthermore, a preventive warning system had to be found to avoid a possible cost-intensive failure of this machine with its high output."
