Novolink

The all-new ABB Novolink™ devices help digitalize motor starting solutions and gain insights into the connected loads. They're easy to design into existing wiring plans and connect to standard AF contactors. Installation is fast and simple, thanks to reduced wiring and fewer components, so engineering efforts are minimized.

The Novolink devices enable predictive maintenance to reduce downtime, as well as increase efficiencies and boost cost savings. Novolink can pair to nearly any cloud system through it's open source communication capabilities, enabling full remote access to to data.

Ease of design and commissioning

Reduced number of components and simplified wiring
Simply mount the device on an AF contactor to digitalize operations, without increasing the width of your contactor. Novolink devices allow for the retrofitting of an existing 24 V DC supplied AF contactor. In such a case often only the control wiring needs to be changed.
Transform your existing portfolio
Novolink uses standard components like AF contactors, to take your existing solution to another level of innovation. With no need for extensive training, the Novolink opens up new possibilities for your expertise.
Reduced engineering efforts
Out-of-the-box functionality ensures simplicity on the factory floor and beyond. The standard controls are ready to use without additional engineering and there is no need for expensive specialist cabling or additional training. Programming is drastically simplified because all data is available from a single node representing the feeder. Your motor protection is customizable to the need of your application.

Innovation through digitalization

Enhanced analytics for improved performance
Optimize the performance of your machine in real time with data-driven decision making.
Create new business models
With Novolink, you can offer clients digital services like cloud-based predictive maintenance to pinpoint potential faults with speed and accuracy. An increase of the overall equipment effectiveness is a relevant added value for your customers.
100 % data availability
Through the integrated connectivity and the seamless integration into B&R solutions, relevant information can be derived from raw data. Integration into other systems is easily possible with B&Rs OPC-UA server solutions and other gateways.

Optimized operations and maintenance

Reduce downtime
Use Novolink’s remote monitoring capabilities to reduce costs and increase overall uptime. Operatives can immediately isolate problem areas (like a malfunctioning load) and suggest solutions before disruption is caused. For ease of use, all control, monitoring and diagnostic signals are fully visible and there is clear fault localization.
Service-on-demand
Avoid unnecessary scheduled servicing by moving from fixed service cycles with the Novolink devices. Advanced diagnostic capabilities make it easier to address issues on demand, from switching off idle processes to saving energy through optimizing parameters. You can combine real-time diagnostics with long-term data trend analysis to unlock new service modules.
Enable preventive maintenance
Getting ahead of faults and problems is key to consistent uptimes, maintaining the longevity of equipment and ensuring the ongoing flow of production. With Novolink, you can set thresholds and receive pre-warnings before equipment failure to reduce energy consumption through optimized operation parameters.
