DriveMonitor™ is ABB's award-winning monitoring and diagnostic system. DriveMonitor™ can be used as a stand alone system, where it logs application-related events and stores high-resolution loggers together with pre-trigger information. This data is extremely useful when identifying the root cause of an event. Furthermore, long-term monitoring functions deliver important information on equipment status, upcoming service routines, trends and input for possible performance improvements. DriveMonitor™ can also be used in combination with the remote services offered by ABB medium voltage (MV) drives. This service provides real-time access to dedicated ABB specialists who can guide the maintenance engineer through the fault-finding procedure and the implementation of corrective actions. DriveMonitorTM and remote services are covered by a service agreement with an ABB MV drives service site or provider.
DriveMonitor™ is ABB’s monitoring and diagnostic system that continuously tracks drive status, logs events, and provides fault descriptions with corrective action proposals. It can operate as a standalone unit or together with ABB medium‑voltage drive remote services, helping reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
The system consists of an industrial‑PC‑based hardware module with an Ethernet port that can monitor one to nine ABB MV drives, and a software application that logs high‑resolution data with pre‑trigger information. Remote access is provided via the Remote Access Platform, offering read‑only, encrypted connections for customers and ABB specialists.
