  Options Remote monitoring and diagnostic tools

• SREA-01 enables remote access With drives increasingly being installed in remote locations, it is vital that operational and process data is monitored locally in real time and transmitted to a central location for analysis. Often there is no qualified service personnel stationed at these sites, which makes remote monitoring and diagnosis of the drive and application crucial to process availability. The SREA-01 Ethernet adapter performs all these remote access tasks.

• Designed as an optional remote interface module for the drives, the SREA-01 can send process data, data logs and event messages independently, without a PLC or a dedicated on-site computer, and has an internal web server for configuration and drive access.

• Connecting multiple drives to an Ethernet or GPRS network In addition to a standard Ethernet port, the SREA-01 has a serial port for connection to a standard GSM/GPRS modem for Internet connectivity in isolated places. The modem connection enables sending e-mail or SMS messages, uploading data fi les by FTP, or accessing the SREA-01 web pages.

• The SREA-01 is connected to the panel port, or alternatively to the Modbus interface, of a drive. A maximum of 10 drives can be connected to a single SREA-01 module over Ethernet or EIA-485 serial communication networks. Simultaneous use of the two connection methods is possible, allowing access to different types of drives. In addition, Modbus TCP commands from a PLC to a drive are supported in the remote monitoring mode.

In addition, Modbus TCP commands from a PLC to a drive are supported in the remote monitoring mode.

• The collected data logs can be sent by e-mail or FTP, either through a local area network or the Internet. The sending interval can be configured by the user with logs sent, for example, hourly or weekly. In addition to its data logging functionality, the SREA-01 also has an internal Modbus TCP gateway, providing a standard interface that can be used by supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) applications to display drive information in real time.

• Receiving event messages and alarms, and accessing the drive remotely The SREA-01 can be used to monitor the drive and application parameters such as process temperatures, and send alarm messages to maintenance personnel if a set limit is exceeded. Event and alarm messages are sent as SMS messages or by e-mail using the user´s own messages. The event conditions and messages can be configured by the user to make them suitable for a number of applications.

• At any time, the internal web server of the SREA-01 provides an intuitive user interface for accessing the drives. Travel to sites can often be avoided by using a standard web browser to view and change the drive parameters, monitor the status of all connected devices, and browse the actual faults or history of the installation.
