  • Publication number: 20230367306
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for equipment anomaly detection are provided. In the method, multiple signals of an equipment during normal operation or appearance images of the equipment when an appearance is not damaged are acquired in advance by using a data acquisition device to train a machine learning model stored in a storage device. A real-time signal of the equipment during a current operation or a current image of the appearance of the equipment is acquired by using the data acquisition device, and input to the trained machine learning model to output a detection result indicating a current operation state of the equipment or a current state of the appearance of the equipment.

  • Publication number: 20230188075
    Abstract: A voltage measurement device for pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals is provided, which includes a conversion circuit and a processing circuit. The conversion circuit receives a first PWM signal and a second PWM signal from a motor driving device, and converts the first PWM signal and the second PWM signal into the absolute value signal and the polarity signal of the line-to-line voltage signal between the first PWM signal and the second PWM signal. The processing circuit converts the polarity signal and the absolute value signal into a first integral signal and a second integral signal, and reconstructs the line-to-line voltage signal according to the first integral signal and the second integral signal so as to obtain the reconstructed voltage signal of the line-to-line voltage signal.

  • Patent number: 11381157
    Abstract: A motor drive is provided, which includes a control circuit, a first transistor, a first comparison circuit, a second transistor and a load. The control circuit includes a first output terminal and a second output terminal; the first output terminal outputs a first control signal; the second output terminal outputs a second control signal whose phase is inverse to the phase of the first control signal. The gate of the first transistor receives the first control signal. The first comparison circuit compares the gate-source voltage with a reference voltage to generate a first comparison signal. When the first comparison signal shows that the first control signal is reduced to be lower than the reference voltage, the second control signal generated by the second output terminal is transmitted to the gate of the second transistor.

  • Publication number: 20220114303
    Abstract: A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation device is provided, which includes a processing circuit and a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal observation circuit. The PWM signal observation circuit includes an energy storage unit and the energy storage unit is coupled to the processing circuit. A signal source transmits a PWM signal to the processing circuit and the PWM signal observation circuit, and the energy storage unit is charged when the PWM signal is at high level. The processing circuit detects the voltage of the energy storage unit when detecting the falling edge of the PWM signal so as to calculate the duty cycle of the PWM signal.
