Yaskawa Electric : Data Detection Features for the MP3000 Machine Controller and the Sigma-7 Servo Drive Has Been UpgradedFor realizing the new solution concept “i3-Mechatronics”

Promoting IoT environment at the manufacturing site often makes it easier to understand the operation status as well as identify the cause of abnormalities by improving the volume along with the type of big data to be detected from equipment and devices. Yaskawa has already released the 'YASKAWA Cockpit' software tool that collect, visualize, accumulate and analyze data comprehensively. By linking this tool and host systems at customers' end with these upgraded software products, it will be possible to make a right decisions based on greater amounts of data to contribute to the preventive maintenance and the detection of abnormalities of devices, helping customers maintain their product quality.

1) Machine Controller 'MP3000 Series'

Data logging features have been reinforced:

・Expanded number of logged data

　The maximum capacity of 64 points x four groups has been expanded to a maximum of 256 points x four groups.

・Added μs (microsecond, or one millionth of a second) timestamps for logs

In addition to the current timestamps by the second, timestamps by microseconds is added.
