DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector

Classification

Under its DriveRadar® trademark, SEW-EURODRIVE offers intelligent, scalable products and services along the entire life cycle of individual products, solutions, and complex systems. The objective of these products and services is to significantly increase the availability of individual products and/or systems.

Objective

Recording device data to obtain valuable insights on the state and diagnostics of machines and systems is of central importance to achieve this goal.

The DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector software that is described in this documentation enables convenient access to the relevant information by automatically recording process and operating data from various SEW-EURODRIVE devices and forwarding this data to configured endpoints.

 

Technical requirements

The software can be set up on process-related customer IT systems or edge units. Only one instance of the software can be used on each device. The devices are connected to the DriveRadar® SmartDataCollector wirelessly or with cables via existing Ethernet-based network channels (e.g. PROFINET, Ethernet) without hardware retrofitting.

Real-time processing of the data depends on the technical requirements and therefore cannot be guaranteed. Influencing factors include:

  • Number, type, and topology of the devices used
  • Bandwidth and capacity utilization of the network connection
  • Number of configured parameters/scopes
  • Number of configured containers
  • Set cycle time
