data acquisition and analysis of historic and real time information

and allows ABB drives experts to collaborate with site engineers

to achieve optimal availability and improved performance.

DriveMonitor enables the retrieval of available drive data to

identify root cause of operational issues. ABB experts, using

DriveMonitor special purpose monitors and engineering and

maintenance tools, can quickly diagnose and correct the source

of drive disturbances and restore performance.
