DriveGuard connects directly to your ABB ACS880 drives over Modbus TCP and detects early signs of failure weeks before a trip occurs. No external sensors. No new hardware. Just intelligence built on data your drive already collects.

No external sensors to install, no complex integrations. DriveGuard works with the data your drive already produces.
STEP 1
DriveGuard reads telemetry directly from your VFD over Modbus TCP. Point it at the drive's IP address and it starts collecting data immediately.
STEP 2
Our detection engine monitors current signature, torque behavior, thermal trends, and startup patterns to build a baseline and track deviations.
STEP 3
Maintenance engineers receive early warnings with explainable health scores before failure occurs. Every alert traces back to specific data.
Why DriveGuard
Traditional monitoring systems require expensive hardware and produce opaque alerts. DriveGuard is different.
| Feature | DriveGuard | Traditional Monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| Data Source | Native VFD registers via Modbus TCP | Expensive external vibration sensors |
| Explainability | Health score broken down by Electrical / Mechanical / Thermal | Black-box alerts |
| Deployment | Docker — runs on a single VM or on-site machine | Cloud-only or complex installation |
| Cost | Fraction of traditional monitoring systems | $2k–5k per motor for hardware alone |
What It Monitors
DriveGuard watches the signals that matter most, computed from registers your drive already exposes.
No cost and no commitment. We’ll connect DriveGuard to one motor on your network for 60 days so you can see the value for yourself.
