 WebMIS - Rexroth's web-based analysis tool for higher productivity

Accelerate your productivity with WebMIS from Rexroth - a comprehensive tool for the recording, visual presentation and optimization of operational and production data.

This web-based analysis tool includes a multitude of pre-configured analysis graphics and tables for the analysis of weaknesses and machine optimization. With the aid of the joint recording of machine signals, stoppage causes and fault messages, machine or plant failures can be identified any time. In the process, it is made immediately clear whether the fault is a technical one or an organizational one, thus permitting the rapid localization and remedy of interference and bottlenecks. The recorded data can be presented either on a machine-specific basis or in comparison with several machines. Thanks to the production of machine indices such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), for example, or utilization ratio and availability, the entire production network is made transparent and can be optimized with selective measures. The long-term monitoring of machine signals and presentation in the form of trend curves permits the clear identification of trending and the continuous improvement of production. Maintenance personnel can also use these long-term measurements for timely predictive maintenance work, thereby eliminating expensive non-production times.

Permanent analysis of process operations in this way permits the identification of weaknesses in production and the achievement of major increases in machine availability.

Thanks to the standardized control system interface (OPC) and data storage system (MSDE/SQL) this solution is suitable for universal use that is independent of the machine. With virtually unlimited scalability, it is possible for data to be acquired and presented - from a single machine to an entire production system. The web-based user interface offers optimized screens that display analysis graphics on any computer in the machinery network. Online diagnostic functions and clear configuration menus provide support for the installer when setting up the networked system and therefore offer a high level of operating convenience - not only for analysis, but from the very beginning of commissioning.

WebMIS was developed on the basis of international standards and is therefore capable of straightforward integration in all machine networks (Ethernet TCP/IP). Data is acquired on the machines at all times - even in the case of network failure, thanks to a buffer on the local controller computer.

     IndraDrive - Rexroth's latest generation of digital intelligent drives with integrated PLC

    With its modular, scalable design, drive-integrated PLC and built-in safety functionality, the IndraDrive M is a complete, intelligent solution to food and packaging automation tasks. The new Rexroth IndraDrive M digital drive system provides greater precision, higher productivity and better performance than previous drive-system models.

    Scalable Functionality - IndraDrive M incorporates Rexroth servo-drive and frequency-converter technology into one platform. With an optional drive-integrated, IEC61131-3-compliant PLC onboard, plus built-in safety technology and motion function-block programming, the IndraDrive M eliminates the need for a traditional PLC on small machines. The integrated PLC also provides programming and parameterization through a single interface. The IndraDrive M supports all standard communication protocols, including SERCOS, PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet and INTERBUS, as well as analog and parallel interfaces. In addition, the drive units can be equipped with additional encoder interfaces, industry-specific technology functions and cross-synchronization options.

    Scalable Power - IndraDrive M's modular platform offers cost-effective scalability in terms of power. The drives units, available as servo or vector, cover the entire output spectrum -- from 1.5 to 120 kW. The power supply units are available as either regenerative or non-regenerative units. Both open- and closed-loop servo versions are available on the same platform. This makes it easy to use only one unique drive package with the same interfaces, power section and start-up tool for food and packaging machines with different requirements.

    Scalable Safety - IndraDrive M fulfills the industry's demand to implement time-critical and safety-relevant functionality into the drive. The IndraDrive M is available with integrated safety technology that complies with EN 954-1, Category 3 -- a crucial new safety standard for European machines. This means the IndraDrive M requires no additional hardware or indirect control solutions.

     IndraDyn H - The latest generation of high-speed synchronous motors

    With their extremely wide constant-output-power (field-weakening) ranges, short ramp-up-to-speed times and low rotor temperatures, these Rexroth motors are ideal for use in main spindles and other high-speed applications.

    IndraDyn H synchronous motors from Rexroth are kit motors which have been optimized for high torque without compromising their high speeds. They consist of a three-phase-wound stator and a permanent-magnet rotor. IndraDyn H motors offer a unique combination of the advantages of synchronous motor technology with the operational characteristics of asynchronous motors. With their extremely wide constant-output-power (field-weakening) ranges, short ramp-up-to-speed times and low rotor temperatures, these motors are ideal for use in main spindles and other high-speed applications. IndraDyn H motors can provide up to 6,500 Nm of torque and can achieve speeds of up to 30,000 rpm. Acceleration times are up to 2.5 times faster than for comparable asynchronous motors.

    The innovative cooling system, enclosed within the stator, reduces costs and work for the machine builder while maximizing cooling efficiency. In addition, the power and cooling connections are standardized for quick and easy connections. IndraDyn H motors are designed for operation with bus voltages of up to 750 V. The motor windings are protected against thermal overload by integrated temperature sensors. IndraDyn H motors, when used with Rexroth's new intelligent digital drive family, IndraDrive, eliminate the need for external protection. Uncontrollable costs associated with the failure of these control electronics are therefore eliminated.
