COMBIVIS 6 is the main software application for operating, commissioning, diagnosing, and managing drive components from KEB Automation. The Scope 2.0 expansion package now enhances COMBIVIS with a modern and adaptable analysis tool featuring additional functionalities. It provides ultimate flexibility and accuracy for the assessment of drive data. This enables the optimal monitoring of drive states and minimizes downtimes, resulting in improved efficiency
Scope is an established tool within the COMBIVIS 6 PC software when it comes to precisely analysing drives and making complex processes transparent. As an integrated digital multi-channel oscilloscope, Scope enables internal signals from a frequency inverter or servo amplifier to be recorded and visualised in real time. This provides a deep understanding of the dynamic behaviour of a drive system that goes far beyond simple monitoring functions. Scope really comes into its own during commissioning: parameter changes can be checked immediately, control loops can be fine-tuned, and even the smallest deviations between target and actual values become clearly visible.
“The ability to overlay curves from different recordings makes comparison particularly convenient – the ideal prerequisite for analysis and optimisation,” says Wenneker. Fast device changeover and exclusive communication and write access for efficient working create the framework for seamless device integration. The offline scope functionality with high temporal resolution offers optimal support for detailed analyses of demanding drive tasks.
The tool is also indispensable for troubleshooting, as it reliably visualises sporadic events with a trigger that would remain hidden during normal operation. “Scope is an important analytical companion that provides valuable insights in both service and development and significantly increases efficiency in diagnosis and optimisation. With version 2.0 of Scope, KEB goes beyond the existing functions and creates further exciting added value for plant and machine construction,” says Tobias Wenneker, Product Manager Drives at KEB.
These are the functions offered by Scope 2.0
One of the new features of the analysis tool is the option of flexible recording. This means that data recording can be paused or locked at any time, and recordings can be created from selected parameters. Precise snapshots are generated using the intelligent online trigger function. The trigger works either via the computer’s clock time or via defined bits. Optimised axis display, clear cursor information and curve overlays for easy comparisons are part of Scope’s improved visualisation
