logi.PLC CM
logi.PLC CM is a system solution by which you can realize a predictive maintenance of your machines/plants.
Methods for maintenance
If you maintain machines/plants, you can decide between these methods for maintenance:
- firefighting tactics: The problem will be corrected after it occurs. Sample applications: telephones, razors
- the proactive maintenance: The entire machine/plant or parts of it are maintained in certain, previously defined intervals. Sample applications: oil change for cars without board computer, regular lubrication for presses
- the predictive maintenance: The entire machine/plant or critical parts of it are monitored and their "state of health" is evaluated. Maintenance is done, if required. Sample applications: oil change for cars with board computer, vibration measuring with engines in order to detect occurring storage damages or balancing at an early stage
Pros and cons of these Methods for maintenance
| method | pros and cons |
| firefighting tactics | + The maximal life cycle is used + There are no permanent costs - Unscheduled failure is likely - Technical or economical consequential damage might arise |
| procative maintenance | + Costs are calculable + Downtimes can be scheduled - Maintenance/exchange is done before life cycle is over |
| predictive maintenance | + The life cycle of the components is fully used + Downtimes can be scheduled - Expertise is required - At present there are high pioneering costs due to small quantity |
logi.PLC CM Scope of Services
logi.PLC CM offers the following:
- integration of configuration functions in logi.CAD You do not require any specific configuration software created by the manufacturer of the measuring system or measuring board. The measuring configuration and measuring programs are independent of the actually used measuring hardware. You will decide for a manufacturer of a measuring system or a corresponding hardware configuration, solely based on the concrete project requirements. Your investments in existing projects are preserved and you can use existing know-how for new projects.
