Abstract
Systems and methods analyze energy consumption of a servo motor driven system during a conceptual design phase thereof. By breaking up loss of the servo motor driven system to its loss constituents, a designer tool is provided, which readily informs a user regarding losses that are created from a particular design.
Claims20
A computer implemented system encoded with a computer program for design analysis of an industrial automation system, comprising:
- a parsing component that determines loss constituents for a servo motor driven system;
- and
- an analysis engine that evaluates energy consumption of the servo motor driven system based on the loss constituents.
A method of designing a servo motor driven system, comprising:
- separating a loss of the servo motor driven system to loss constituents based on a predetermined criteria;
- and
- displaying the loss constituents to a designer of the servo motor driven system.
A computer implemented system encoded with a computer program for design analysis of an industrial automation system, comprising:
- means for breaking up a loss of a servo motor driven system to loss constituents based on a predetermined criteria;
- and
- means for ranking the loss constituents for a designer of the system.
