K6PM-TH

Thermography-based Condition Monitoring

K6PM-TH measures and monitor the surface temperature through up to 31 connected infra-red cameras, as a continuous thermography.

The technology is designed to monitor facility and equipment panels, preventing the risk of overheating that might be due to bad connections, loose wiring or lack of ventilation. The device are also suitable to monitor the temperature of surfaces which temperature should not exceed a given threshold (hot air ducts).

The proprietary algorithm running in the controller allows to:

Monitor and predict temperature trend, signalling alarm anytime the temperature of a given area is above the set threshold or is expected to reach critical value in near future
Consider the differential temperature trend (between environment and measured object), signalling alarms only if critical conditions occur.
automatically set the temperature threshold of each area (every camera divides the monitored area in 16 quadrants), based on baseline conditions

The device can either be used as stand-alone, or integrated in a wider solution, enabling functions such as:

E-mail notifications in case of warning/alarm,
Remote monitoring
Interaction with custom applications and MQTT server.

Feature

K6PM is a reliable partner to monitor critical facility panels, as well as equipment panels along their entire life (development, validation, FAT and after installation).

Particularly suitable for those application where the panel is located right next to a machine generating intensive heat (furnaces, ovens, molding machinery).

OMRON K6PM-TH Thermal Condition Monitor Detecting Dryer Duct Leak

Coating and drying is one of the most dangerous processes in car manufacturing. In the drying oven, air heated to 400°C in the combustion chamber travels through the air duct for use in drying. These air ducts degrade over time, sometimes allowing air hotter than 100°C to leak, which can lead to burn injuries during patrol inspection. #omronindustrialautomation #MakeitOMRON

K6PM: Innovation in thermal monitoring and panel maintenance

Parts to check are increasing as devices and wires in a panel increase for high-functioned facilities and equipment. On the other hand, maintenance frequency is decreasing due to shortage of the maintenance engineers, resulting in a higher risk of accident. There are various causes of failures on the device. Current methods of manual inspections are useful but they only provide limited amount of failure detection information. Here is a new solution from OMRON.

Omron K6PM "Auto threshold set" algorithm

The amount of heat generated varies from device to device. For this reason, the optimum threshold value for the thermal monitoring must be set depending on the device. K6PM can divide one sensor monitoring area into 16 segments and automatically set the threshold for each segment.

Omron K6PM "Differential temperature detection" algorithm

For applications where there are fluctuations in ambient temperature, it can be difficult to determine the cause of the temperature change of the device. The K6PM constantly monitors the difference between measure temperature and ambient temperature. This allows the K6PM to accurately detect abnormalities without being affected by ambient temperatures.

Omron K6PM "Arrival prediction" algorithm

Predicts the estimated temperature value based on the temperature rise trend. With the Predictive temperature algorythm, you can quickly identify potential risks before they ccould lead failures and machine downtime. Watch a testing example.

Stand Alone installation (with PLC)

This solution enables, in addition of the previous solution, to:

Monitor the status of the motor through to the Condition Monitoring Software, running on a PC which is connected through a PLC
Use the PLC remote-connection to reach the K6PM for remote monitoring and setup
Trigger, through the PLC, actions following any warning/alarm detected by K6PM

Notifications and remote monitoring - without PLC

This solution, using Omron RT1 as a gateway, enables:

e-mail/SMS notifications in case anomalies are detected by K6PM
secure connection (managed by RT1) to cloud, either via LAN or via 4G connection
secure connection for remote monitoring and setup of K6PM, using the Condition Monitoring software provided with the controller
