Data analysis ensures optimum performance: Dtect

continuously collects driveline performance data that

can be analyzed to ensure maximum productivity. It uses

an updated quadruple sensor setup that increases the

sensing range without affecting the resolution of the

expanded measurement. By analyzing the slip behavior

of the coupling, the operator can evaluate if the system is

running at full capacity and, if not, adjust the parameters

accordingly. Further, proactive coupling maintenance can be

performed to avoid costly downtime.

Simultaneous monitoring through a single

interface: Dtect now makes it possible to monitor multiple

couplings at the same time. It assesses each coupling

individually and communicates the multiple data streams

to the common interface. In this way, Dtect allows for

simultaneous monitoring of all connected drivelines.

Operators benefit from comprehensive, real-time status

information provided by one central system.

Easy integration for platform-independent data

monitoring: Equipped with Modbus TCP/IP communications,

Dtect is easily integrated into established process

information networks. Given its high flexibility, the system

can be adopted with ease to other communication

standards to fit a wide range of requirements.

HMI touch panel for outstanding ease-of-use: Dtect can

be fitted with an integrated HMI touch panel. It offers the

highest usability, better control and status information at

a glance. With visual warning indicators, the system assists

operators in making decisions and taking the necessary

actions in any given situation. DW
