Solutions for condition monitoring

Permanent monitoring and analysis of wind turbine generators is essential. Condition monitoring focuses on parts subject to particular stress, such as the drive train and the generator. With increasing turbine sizes, monitoring the rotor blades is also becoming increasingly important. Condition monitoring systems allow wind turbine generators to be operated much more efficiently, as downtimes for maintenance and repair are reduced to a minimum.

The dashboards in the Time Series Data Service of the Proficloud.io IIoT platform from Phoenix Contact offer comprehensive, cloud-based solution for monitoring wind turbine generators. You can check the condition of your wind turbine generators online at any time. Therefore, you can directly take the necessary measures to prevent damage.

Technology

Thanks to PLCnext Technology, our open control platform, you can easily integrate applications developed in high-level languages into your overall system. Individual modules can even be updated or maintained during operation. You determine the core on which the program sequences are run, and which tasks they are synchronized with.

PLCnext Technology

PLCnext Technology is the basis of the new, open-control platform from Phoenix Contact. It offers a comprehensive, coordinated portfolio for tunnel technology, thus enabling quick and reliable engineering. Easy adaptation to the individual requirements of operators is also possible with it, thanks to the integration of open-source software, apps, and future technologies.

You can implement new IoT-based business models through direct connection to cloud-based services and databases.
