alphacynapse® with Smart Services
Collect. Analyze. Visualize.
It´s new.
It´s connective.
The smart feature.

Unlimited connectivity:
your access to the digital world.
Welcome to the IIoT!
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the global IT infrastructure of thefuture in industrial applications: by linking physical and virtual objects, you
enable them to communicate interactively for you 24/7 and map processrelevant information.
Using the virtual pool of knowledge which is created in this way, you canoptimize processes effectively, reduce your manufacturing costs andmake your operations generally more efficient. Play IIoT – cynapse ® is yourconnection to the digital world:
In combination with our Smart Services, it creates maximum transparency
within the machine and the Smart Factory. Smart Services from WITTENSTEIN
analyze your gearbox and process data and actively enhance the quality ofmachines and processes.

Smart, simple, fast:
cynapse® really works!
cynapse ® – how it workscynapse ® ensures the gearbox can be easily integrated into the digital world.
The cynapse ® feature is integrated into the existing installation space and isconnected via an IO-Link interface. As a result, measured data such as thegearbox’s temperature, vibration, operating time, acceleration, and productspecific information can be accessed.

Get more out of your gearbox:
Use more functions in the same installation space.
Know everything relevant about the condition of your gearbox.
Get essential information without attaching
additional sensors to your gearbox.

Get connected!
Just always know what’s happening!
Smart gearboxes with cynapse ® measure temperatures and report overheating,they detect vibrations and count operating hours. They store and document all events
related to their operation – you systematically receive, for example, all relevant
data for preventive maintenance of the gearboxes, minimization of gearbox damage,and prevention of machine downtimes.
cynapse ® therefore makes a really crucial contribution to the optimal availability andproductivity of your machines.

Integration without limits
Gearboxes with the cynapse ® feature and IO-Link interface can bedirectly integrated into your system landscape. You can decide here
whether the generated data is only kept in the cynapse ®’s internal
memory or whether you integrate it into higher-level systems,
such as a PLC or gateway / IPC / cloud.
By integrating the data into higher-level systems, you lay thefoundation to use our Smart Services.

cynapse® generates an electronic “fingerprint”
of your specific requirements for performance,efficiency, transparency, and availability. The
smart gearbox can identify and measureparameters directly from the process andapplication environment and pass them on
to higher-level systems. Gearboxes withcynapse ® can also exchange information
with the applications on IIoT platforms and,thanks to their integrated logic functions,can perform intelligent monitoring tasks.

Smart Services –the perfect complement
The Smart Services expand the functional scope of the cynapse ® feature. The basic functions
comprise data processing, visualization, and analysis. The specific expertise, which WITTENSTEIN
has gathered over more than 40 years of developing low-backlash planetary gearboxes,
is used in combination with the operating data to establish and display the status of the gearbox
in the Smart Services.

cynapse® Connect enables integration and routing of data, which is a fundamental
prerequisite for condition monitoring. The Smart Service makes the recorded data
available in a structured format. It can obtain this data from various source
systems via IO-Link or OPC UA and utilizes it for digital services from WITTENSTEIN.
cynapse® Connect thus greatly simplifies the integration of smart gearboxes into therelevant machine infrastructure.

cynapse® Monitor builds upon the Smart Service cynapse® Connect and enables
straightforward evaluation and visualization of operating data. Since manufacturers
and operators do not have to develop their own solutions, development requirements
are massively reduced. In addition, the data of the cynapse® Monitor service canbe used to monitor threshold values of selected parameters. Deviations and criticalstates in the behavior of gearboxes or in the relevant process can therefore beidentified at an early stage.

cynapse ® Analyze is an ever-growing portfolio of smart features. The focus of thisservice is the detection of anomalies or wear. The Anomaly-Check, for example,
detects changes in the belt tension in packaging machine drives. The Health Index
displays the gearbox condition simply and intuitively by means of a traffic light, which
can be used to establish the recommended course of action. These features help toprevent unplanned downtimes as well as the associated breakdown and repair costs.
Machine operators can thus take the necessary action before any damage occurs.
