Remote monitoring and diagnostic tools
SREA-01 enables remote access
With drives increasingly being installed in remote locations,
operational data needs to be acquired from the process for
sending to a central location for process monitoring and
further analysis. Furthermore, with no qualied service
people on site it is vital to be able to monitor the drive
remotely.
ABB’s 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 conguration and drive access.
Connect a maximum of 10 drives to an
Ethernet or GPRS network
In addition to a standard Ethernet port, the SREA-01 is
equipped with an additional serial port for connecting to
a standard GSM/GPRS modem for Internet connectivity
in isolated places. The modem connection can be used for
sending e-mail or SMS messages, uploading data les by FTP
or accessing the Web pages of the module.
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, although
an additional RS-485 converter is needed for each drive if
several drives are connected by their panel port interfaces.
Collect data logs and integrate drive data
in SCADA applications
For collecting data from the drive for further analysis, the
SREA-01 has a fully congurable data logger that can store
values from the drives to a le, with sample intervals from
ten seconds to one hour. The les are stored in the standard
Comma Separated Values (CSV) format that can be imported
to applications such as Microsoft Excel for processing.
The collected data logs can be sent by e-mail or FTP, either
on a local area network or the Internet. The sending interval
can also be congured by the user, with logs being sent, for
example, every hour or once a week.
In addition to providing data logging functionality, the
SREA-01 also has an internal Modbus TCP gateway,
providing a standard interface that can be used by SCADA
(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) applications to
display drive information in real-time.
Receive alarms and access the drive
remotely
The SREA-01 unit can be used to monitor the drive for
abnormal situations, such as too high process temperatures,
and send alarm messages to maintenance personnel. The
event and alarm messages can be sent as SMS messages
or by e-mail. The event conditions and messages can be
congured by the user to make them suitable for a number
of applications.
If emergency situations or faults occur, the internal web
server of the SREA-01 provides an easy-to-use user interface
for accessing the drives. Travel to sites can often be avoided
by using a regular web browser to view and change the drive
parameters, monitor the status of all connected drives and
browse the fault history of the installation.
