NORDCON APP and NORDAC® ACCESS BT provide wireless monitoring of variable frequency drives
NORD Gear Corporation, a world leader in industrial gear reducers, electric motors, and variable frequency
drives (VFDs), announced the release of two products that enable convenient dashboard-based visualization
to aid in the diagnosis, parameterization, and monitoring of NORD drive systems from a smartphone or other
Bluetooth-enabled device.
The new NORDCON APP and NORDAC® ACCESS BT—a mobile app and Bluetooth stick—work together
to provide a wireless solution for commissioning, drive optimization, and service requests for all NORD
electronic drive systems, including extension units. This speeds up commissioning, simplifies maintenance,
and enables problems to be resolved quicker, thus reducing downtime and costs.
“After extensive field testing and feedback from our customers, we are pleased to announce the release of
the NORDCON APP and NORDAC ACCESS BT,” said Dan Breitbarth, engineering manager of control
products at NORD Gear. “Together these tools will empower our customers with improved visibility and
control of their NORD drive units with convenient, wireless monitoring and diagnosis.”
The NORDCON APP is available for free download through the App Store for iOS and Google Play for
Android users. The app includes a video tutorial on key features, including:
-Dashboard-based monitoring of NORD drives with application-specific, customizable display options.
-Drive parameter settings with support of context-sensitive help function, containing full parameter
description from technical documentation.
-Drive diagnostics and analysis via configurable four-channel oscilloscope.
-The ability to send service requests to the local NORD support team directly from the app
The NORDAC ACCESS BT can be used directly with VFDs or motor starters. It allows users to transfer
parameters from one VFD to another or from a drive unit and PC. It also has a backup and recovery function
for peace of mind and easy handling of drive parameters. The Bluetooth stick can be purchased directly from
any authorized NORD distributor.
A video overview of the NORDCON APP and NORDAC ACCESS BT is available on the NORD
DRIVESYSTEMS YouTube channel. Watch it here.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
