  • Method to implement drive diagnostics and prognostics automatically
    Patent number: 9092030
    Abstract: An electric motor drive system includes a fan configured to cool power electronic components of the electric motor drive system. The electric motor drive system also includes a temperature sensor disposed proximate an air inlet of the fan and configured to sense an ambient temperature of air entering the air inlet. In addition, the electric motor drive system includes a processor communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and configured to determine at least one of a drive prognostic and a derating requirement based on the sensed ambient temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 14, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 28, 2015
    Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Bruce William Weiss, Robert Michael Michalski, Lixiang Wei, Garron Koch Morris, Brian Patrick Brown
