Introduction

Congratulations, with the purchase of the SICON.PLUG AI CobotPump ECBPi. It turns your device with a UART interface into a smart device. Parameters can be changed and data can be transported to your company network via the integrated WLAN.

Collisions and vibrations are reliably detected via the built-in acceleration sensor and reported to the maintenance engineer or service personnel.

The built-in replay function makes your process transparent and enables you to visualize the last 30s of the process again.

Prepared visualizations and events help with process optimization and provide information about future maintenance and existing system errors.

Within minutes, your SICON.PLUG ANALYTICS PVS is up and running and ready to provide you with real added value.

Advantages of your SICON.PLUG AI CobotPump ECBPi

Connection

• No additional power supply required as the SICON.PLUG AI CobotPump ECBPi can be supplied directly with 3,3V DC +/- 10% industrial standard.

• Network connection via 10 MBIT/s Ethernet or WLAN 2.4 GHZ with antenna according to IEEE802.11b/g/n possible.

• High-speed transmission of measured data through modern scalable protocols.

• Integrated acceleration Sensor - 3-axis acceleration and rotation rate sensor +/- 2g

Industry 4.0 Ready

• Relaxed secure global access to your data by transferring it to the cloud.

• Intelligent user management ensures that each department sees the data that is important to them.

• Simple commissioning via an app.

• Easy configuration of parameters via an internet browser.

Analytics

• Direct evaluation of your measured data and display via status LEDs using an innovative colour concept.

• Predictive maintenance through sophisticated algorithms.

• Messages and notes provide information on where there is still potential for improvement in your vacuum process.

• The revolutionary replay function freezes your process. This allows errors and optimization attempts on the process to be analysed and tested in detail.

• The built-in collision detection generates an error message as soon as, for example, an industrial truck collides with your vacuum system or a rough use has damaged it. This allows you to detect defective or critical machine conditions before they occur.
