MONITORING SYSTEM TO MONITOR THE CONDITION OF AN INDUSTRIAL WIRING SYSTEM AND CORRESPONDING INDUSTRIAL WIRING SYSTEM

摘要

A monitoring system (10) is described, to monitor the condition of an industrial wiring system (1) provided with a multipolar electric cable (2) with a number of electric conductors (21, 22) having a power and/or data transmission function and enclosed inside a protective sheath (28), wherein: monitoring conductors (27a, 27b), to monitor wear of the electric cable (2), are arranged inside the protective sheath (28) electrically insulated from the electric conductors (21, 22); and a monitoring device (32) is operatively coupled to the monitoring conductors (27a, 27b) so as to detect at least one electric parameter associated with the monitoring conductors to detect the wear of the electric cable (2) and generate corresponding monitoring data. The monitoring device (32) obtains its own power supply from, and/or transmits the monitoring data by means of, the electric conductors (21, 22) of the same electric cable (2).
