TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
Drive data in the cloud F
or IoT-driven machine and plant engineering, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS now offers solutions for making drive
data available in real time in a cloud environment. All drive axes can be monitored from anywhere in the world via an Internet connection. The concept was first deployed in the application test center at the German NORD headquarters, where it has been thoroughly tested and has proven its reliability in a drive network utilizing standard interfaces and components. AC vector drives and motor starters controlled via Profinet simultaneously transmit live status data in UDP packets, on the same bus line, without affecting regular control communication. The cloud- enabled drives send data about their power consumption, speed, and voltage, as well as the status word. Tunneled through a Siemens PLC, all of this information is transmitted to an IoT gateway and on into the cloud. Status data can then be analyzed for energy profiling, asset management, and remote maintenance purposes.

s an all-new supplement to the modular industrial gear range, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS now provides extruder flanges optimized
for heavy duty operation. Several different extrusion flanges are available for each of the industrial gear units from size 5 to size 11, with rated torques from 15 kNm to 80 kNm. Almost all usual dimensions can thus be adapted. Extra-large thrust bearings ensure that all process forces are absorbed and provide enhanced durability for long lifespans. This new option for the industrial gears enables primary and secondary plastics and rubber manufacturers and their suppliers to create safe and highly reliable drives in very customizable configurations. The NORD industrial gear range offers a variety of input and output shafts and gaskets, flexible mounting directions, and thermal monitoring solutions. The extruder flange as well as industrial gear units in two additional sizes will be showcased for the first time at the 2017 Hannover Messe exhibition.
