Abstract
A motion system and method of managing health of the motion system uses exclusively motion variables used by a servo drive of the motion system to calculate at least one health indication value for the motion system. The health indication value is used to generate a notification for maintenance of the motion system.
Claims18
A method of managing health of a motion system with a servo drive, the method comprising:
- collecting motion variables that are used by the servo drive to drive a motor of the motion system in response to motion commands;
- calculating a health indication value for the motion system exclusively using the collected motion variables;
- and
- in response to the health indication value, generating a notification for maintenance of the motion system.
1 more element
A motion system comprising:
- a motor, and
- a servo drive configured to drive the motor, the servo drive including,
- memory;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- collect motion variables that are used by the servo drive to drive the motor of the motion system in response to motion commands;
- calculate a health indication value for the motion system exclusively using the collected motion variables;
- and
- in response to the health indication value, generate a notification for maintenance of the motion system.
