ABB Ability Smart Sensor for induction motors

The ABB Ability Smart Sensor for induction motors and pumps makes preventive maintenance possible by accurately monitoring and analysing data on motor operation, including health parameters to warn against failures before they happen.

There is no need for wiring as it features built-in Bluetooth 4.0 technology and can easily be attached to any 3-phase AC induction motor for quick configuration. Data from numerous smart sensors can be wirelessly collected via a smartphone app or ABB gateway to securely upload data to the cloud.

The measured vibration, temperature and other parameters can be analysed and converted into meaningful information. The results can be displayed on a customer portal or app via the user’s smartphone. Users can gain a quick overview of overall motor condition and monitoring using simple ‘traffic light’ indicators. Other features include maintenance advice via alarms, alerts and reminders on how to optimise maintenance and save costs. Users can also track data over time for trends or access the data via CSV files for further analysis.
