ABB DRIVEMONITOR VERSION 4000 DRIVE MODULE RBOX316-ABB-00
The ABB DriveMonitor Version 4000 is an intelligent monitoring and diagnosis system for ABB medium-voltage frequency converters, while the RBOX316-ABB-00 is the core hardware module of this system (commonly known as the rBOX316 module).
It is used for on-site data collection, processing and connection with the software layer to achieve remote and local monitoring.
The following are the core information and key details
Core positioning and relationships
The core role of component positioning
The DriveMonitor V4000 software + hardware integrated diagnostic tool enables real-time access to frequency converters, configuration parameters, long-term status monitoring, fault diagnosis and trend analysis, reducing downtime risks and maintenance costs
The RBOX316-ABB-00 hardware core module is installed inside the inverter cabinet, collecting analog/digital signals, processing data, and providing communication interfaces. It serves as a “data bridge” between the software and the inverter.
