Abstract
A motor controller automatically determines a motor input power setting based upon manually entered motor output values. The motor controller includes an interface and an input power determining module that determines the motor input power setting from the entered motor output values. A display portion provides a visual display of the determined motor input power setting to facilitate using the determined setting to control motor operation.
Claims23
A motor controller comprising:
- an interface for manually entering values of a motor output;
- an input power setting determining module that automatically determines a motor input power setting based upon entered motor output values;
- and
- a display portion that provides a visual display of the determined motor input power setting.
A machine assembly comprising:
- a motor having associated values of motor output;
- a device driven by said motor;
- an input power setting determining module that automatically determines a motor input power setting, using the associated motor output values;
- and
- a display portion that provides a visual display of the determined motor input power setting.
A method of determining a motor input power setting comprising the steps of:
- receiving values of a motor output including at least one of a motor rating value or a motor efficiency value;
- automatically determining a motor input power setting based upon the received values of motor output;
- and displaying the determined motor input power setting.
A method of controlling a motor input power setting, comprising the steps of:
- manually entering a motor output value;
- observing a displayed motor input power setting that is automatically determined based upon the manually entered motor output value;
- and
- manually setting the motor input power setting responsive to observing the determined motor input power setting.
