Omron K6CM motor condition monitors

Omron has released a series of motor condition monitoring devices as part of a range of IoT components aimed at improving efficiency and productivity within the manufacturing industry.

The K6CM will be available in various types including the K6CM-CIM (comprehensive current diagnosis type), the K6CM-ISM (insulation resistance monitoring type) and the K6CM-VBM (vibration and temperature level measurement).

The K6CM can constantly monitor the condition of three-phase induction motors and detect errors in advance that may be the result of ageing and deterioration. This is achieved through comprehensive diagnosis and monitoring the changes of vibration, surface temperature, current and insulation resistance. The unit features an LCD with an alarm bar to easily display the output in three colours: green (normal), orange (warning) and red (critical). The user can also easily access and monitor the status of the motor on PC remotely by EtherNet/IP and the use of Omron’s Motor Condition Monitoring Tool software.

With clamp-type CT/ZCT and push-in-plus technology, the K6CM is easy to install and reduces wiring time.
