Condition Monitoring of motors, pumps and more with Connection Module IOT

Set up a condition monitoring system for your motors, pumps and other drivetrain components in no time: The plug-and-play Connection Module IOT (CM IOT) can be installed and commissioned in minutes. Its multiple sensors measure raw data and automatically transmit it - no additional expertise or software development required.

The next generation plug-and-play sensor module - for motors and other drivetrain assets

Faults or failures in individual drive components can result in costly production downtime. This is why their condition monitoring is so important. For the entire drivetrain, the easiest way to do this is through digitalization based on the Connection Module IOT: Everything is installed in just a few simple steps and the drivetrain is online. With the cloud-based analysis app Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud, you can then continuously keep an eye on the condition of the monitored drivetrain.

Advanced Sensor Stack

Connection Module IOT, equipped with 3-axis vibration, temperature, magnetic field, and acoustic sensors, offers exceptional asset monitoring by measuring raw data and calculating KPIs.

Built for tough environments

The Connection Module IOT features IP 66 certification, ensuring its protection against dust and strong water jets. Additionally, there is an EX certified version available, specifically designed for environments with explosive atmospheres. These certifications make it ideal for deployment in hazardous areas across various industrial sectors.

Flexible power supply

The Connection Module IOT can operate using replaceable batteries, which provide a lifespan of up to four years. Alternatively, it can be powered by a wired 24V power supply to accommodate specific application needs. This flexibility allows users to choose the power source that best suits their operational requirements.

Advanced security and connectivity

The Connection Module IOT ensures high security standards suitable for enterprise use. It is set to include support for WPA3 Enterprise for enhanced wireless security. Additionally, it will offer IEEE 802.1X authentication to further secure network access.

State-of-the-art data transfer

Connection Module IOT allows to transfer the measured data via MQTT to a local MQTT-Broker. It features dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 & 5 GHz) and Bluetooth® v5.2 for powerful connectivity and robust security.

Leverage the cloud

The Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud employs specialized AI models to assess the condition and energy usage of your assets. These models effectively utilize data collected by the Connection Module IOT. This integration ensures precise monitoring of asset health and energy efficiency.

Efficiency Enhancement through Digitalization

Condition Monitoring- Siemens offers innovative solutions for monitoring and optimizing industrial drives with the Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud app and the Connection Module IOT. These technologies combine precise condition monitoring, energy efficiency, and comprehensive fleet management to reduce costs, minimize downtime, and promote sustainability.

Industrial drives are the heart of many production processes, but they face significant challenges: high energy costs, unplanned downtimes, and increasing sustainability demands make operations difficult. According to Siemens, one hour of unplanned downtime in the automotive industry incurs average costs of up to 2 million US dollars. Additionally, half of the global electricity consumption is attributed to industrial drives.

Networking and Intelligent Analysis

The Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud app, in combination with the CM IOT sensor module, facilitates the digital networking of all drive components – from motors and gearboxes to pumps and frequency converters. This central platform provides real-time transparency over the condition of machinery and uses AI-based analyses to identify potential issues early

Key Benefits of the Solution

Predictive Maintenance: Continuous condition monitoring helps detect faults early and avoid costly downtimes.
Energy Optimization: The use of energy-efficient alternatives is recommended, reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
Fleet Management: A central application provides an overview of the condition and performance of all drives – globally and 24/7.

Focus on Sustainability and Cost Efficiency

The benefits of these technologies are measurable: users report up to 30% reduced maintenance costs, an extension of product lifespan by up to 30%, and up to 10% energy savings. These outcomes result in a payback period of less than one year.
