Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for improving drive efficiency in an industrial automation system. In one implementation, a system comprises a mechanical load, an electromechanical device attached to the mechanical load, and a drive coupled to the electromechanical device. A processor is programmed to generate and display an acceleration curve, a duplicate acceleration curve, an energy curve and a duplicate energy curve. A user input is received indicating a change to at least a portion of the duplicate acceleration curve, and a change to the duplicate energy curve is calculated and displayed. A modified command signal based on the user input is calculated, and the drive is configured to control the electromechanical device via the modified command signal to mechanically operate the mechanical load perform a task.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to condition monitoring in industrial environments. More specifically, some embodiments relate to an embedded analytic engine for motor drives. A drive-embedded analytic engine discussed herein enables industrial enterprises, employers, and other users to monitor an industrial operation comprising at least a motor and a mechanical load in order to detect failures before they occur. An embedded analytic engine may perform condition monitoring from within a frequency drive based on a configuration specific to a monitored fault condition. In order to detect fault conditions, the embedded analytic engine may obtain baseline signal data from an industrial operation using rotating machinery, obtain recent runtime signal data from the industrial operation, and use the signal data to produce data light metrics that may be used to detect fault conditions from within the drive.
