ABB smartphone App eases drive tuning
The new ABB smartphone applications for its variable-speed drives help save time, ease troubleshooting and improve drive performance via convenient technology of the Internet of Things, Services and People (IoTSP).
>ABB's Drivetune allows service engineers and installers to easily connect to a drive via wireless Bluetooth connection. Then, using a user-friendly smartphone interface, the installer can more quickly and efficiently commission and tune a drive's performance, allowing quick resolution of any initial issues without being forced to take the drive offline.
>Drivebase, an ABB App that's been improved since its introduction in 2014, allows plant personnel to scan a dynamic QR code generated by a drive on its control panel. The code provides information for registering the drive and about remedies for potential problems without resorting to maintenance manuals, while simultaneously drawing on ABB's vast drive knowledge base via the cloud should further assistance be needed.
