Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting, evaluating and displaying measurement values of motors of electric drives, such as those in the case of drives for barriers, switches, windows or gates and to an apparatus for implementing said method.
At least one sensor measures the electrical characteristic values of the motor, which are read into a data processing system and evaluated.
The measured values are compared with one another as a function of the mechanical position of the driven components over a period comprising a plurality of control operations. The representation takes place by simultaneously displaying the measured values both as a function of the revolution time of the drive as well as in a comparative manner over many measurement cycles. For this purpose, the measurement points are colour coded. Due to the representation of numerous measurement curves side-by-side, both the present technical condition of the electric drive can be judged and a prediction made about its future scope of maintenance.

Description
, , Method and apparatus for detecting, evaluating and displaying measure-ment values of motors of electric drives The invention relates to a method for detecting, evaluating and displaying measurement values of motors of electric drives, and to an apparatus for im-plementing said method.
In numerous technical apparatus, switching operations between mechanical states are realised by means of electric motors. Frequently, the switching oper-ations are cyclic in the sense that always it is switched back and forth between at least two defined states. Examples of such electrically driven systems are barriers for railway transitions, drives for changing the switch position in rail-bound traffic, or drives for opening and closing windows, gates, etc. The ser-vomotors run in a reproducible manner from defined initial points to defined endpoints and back again.
If the functional capability and the technical condition of such installations are to be monitored, it is necessary to make a statement about the sluggishness of the plant. For this purpose, for example, the electrical characteristic curves of the drive motors are determined and evaluated. Sluggishness, which can be caused by wear, for example, would be noticed by the fact that greater power consumption of the motor is measured than by reference values.
In order to be able to assess the technical state of an electrically driven system, it is a necessary to evaluate the data of measured value.
With respect to switching drives, for example, the current profile during a switchover operation is recorded and compared with a reference curve.
The data are displayed on an output device with an ordinary coordinate system in which the measuring time is selected as the abscissa and the current magni-tude or the difference between the measured current values and the reference curve is selected as the ordinate.
In such a representation, however, a comparison with earlier or later measure-ments is difficult to visualise.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method by which the tech-nical state of motors of electric drives can be assessed not only at a given time, but also the transient development of the state is recorded and visualised, so that also statements about an expected maintenance scope can be made and conclusions drawn regarding the causes of the changes in state. Moreover, an , apparatus is to be provided, which implements the method.
These objects are achieved by the method according to the invention as dis-closed in claim 1 and the corresponding apparatus according to claim 4.
Advantageous further developments are objects of the subordinate claims.
The method according to the invention as disclosed in claim 1 represents a measuring method in which the measured values of motors of electric drives are detected, evaluated and displayed. In particular, the electrical characteristic values of the motor measured by at least one sensor can be used as measured values. Moreover, framework parameters such as temperature, humidity, etc.
can also be measured and integrated in the evaluation. The measured values are transmitted to a data processing system where they are stored and evaluat-ed. In the evaluation, it can be advantageous to process appropriately the measured values. For example, an evaluation function can compare the meas-ured values with reference values under the specified basic conditions, and, as further data to be considered, only use the differences between the measured values and the reference values. Since electric motors such as those in the case of drives for barriers, switches, windows or gates have a cyclic operating pattern, the measured values can be compared with one another as a function of the mechanical position of the driven components over a period of several control cycles. For example, if the start-up characteristic of the motor changes due to wear-induced sluggishness of the mechanism, the power consumption requirement of the drive gradually increases over time. In order to recognise such a trend at an early stage, the data have to be compared over a long peri-od. In a display of the data on a two-dimensional screen or on a two-dimensional paper printout, a multidimensional representation is only clear

3 when the information is processed. This takes place according to the invention, in that two time coordinates are considered. The measured values within a rev-olution cycle of the drive are described as a function of one time coordinate, which is referred to as the rotation time T. The second time coordinate is des-ignated as the comparison time Tv and it indicates the time of each individual revolution. Two or more successive revolutions of the drive thus occur at two or more different time points Tv1 and Tv2 etc. At each of these times, there is a measured value characteristic during one revolution z = fTv,(Tu). In order to de-scribe the dependency of the data on both time coordinates, both coordinate axes according to the invention are selected perpendicularly to one another.
In x-direction, for example, Tv can be represented, while the y-direction is charac-terised by T. Now, on a two-dimensional display plane to be able to display the values of the data in the coordinate system belonging to each (yi; zi) pair, a perspective representation could be selected. However, since this can quickly become obscure, a projection of the z-axis on the x-y plane according to the invention is considered. In order to be able to display information about the nu-merical values of the data, the zi-values are colour-coded. The sequence of coloured data points in the y-direction indicates the difference between the data value and the reference value within a revolution time Tu, which was measured at time Tv, during a revolution. During the next revolution of the actuator in the same direction, the data values at Tv(I+i) are displayed in the same manner.
Since the (y(i+1); z(i+1)) pairs of values are shifted parallel to the (yi;
zi) pairs of values in the direction of the Tv-axis, both measurements are shown side by side and can easily be compared with one another for evaluation. Data values for the same phases of the changeover operation for different setting processes always lie on a parallel to Tv-axis. Thus, the development of the measured val-ues at each phase of the changeover process can be efficiently evaluated by analysing the development of the colour along parallels to the x- and/or Tv-axis.
Particularly advantageously, the information quantity is therefore reduced in that not every single z-value, but only certain value classes, which are oriented towards defined tolerance values for the data, is coded. By comparing the data with reference values and a specification of one to a few tolerance ranges, a meaningful representation is achieved with the aid of a few colour values.
Based on the colour of the data point, the tolerance limit exceeded by the data point (y; z) is therefore visible.
= 4 Moreover, it is advantageous if, during the evaluation of the data, attention is drawn to the requirement to investigate the drive. This can then occur, for ex-ample, if at least once a data point has reached a tolerance limit to be defined, which is known as evidence of damage or hazard to the drive.
Moreover, the data points along a parallel to the comparison time axis are ana-lysed as to whether a change in the data points takes place in the direction of a tolerance limit to be defined. Thus, if a data value, at a particular revolution phase of the drive, gradually exceeds increasingly higher tolerance thresholds, it should be expected that a critical state of the drive is imminent, so that here a message is issued at the output unit, which indicates that the system must be investigated by the service personnel.
Claims 4 to 6 relate to an apparatus for implementing the method from the pre-ceding claims.
According to the invention, an apparatus is provided, which detects, stores, evaluates and displays the measured values of motors of electrical drives.
The apparatus consists of at least one measuring sensor that is connected to a data processing system, which has an output unit for displaying the evaluation results as well as means for data input. The measurement data are evaluated by means of the data processing system.
In particular, the electrical characteristic values of the motor measured by at least one sensor can be used as measured values. Moreover, the apparatus can also measure framework parameters such as temperature, humidity, etc., and incorporate them in the evaluation.
For the evaluation of the data, it can be advantageous if the apparatus appro-priately processes the measured values. For example, with the aid of an evalu-ation function, the apparatus can compare the measured values with reference values under the prevailing framework conditions, and only use the differences between the measured values and the reference values as data to be consid-ered further. The apparatus according to the invention considers two time co-ordinates.
It describes the measured values within a revolution cycle of the drive as a function of the revolution time T. The second time coordinate is designated as the comparison time Tv and it indicates the time of each individual revolution.
Two or more successive revolutions of the drive thus occur at two or more dif-ferent time points Tvi and Tv2 etc. At each of these times, there is a measured value characteristic during one revolution z = f1/1(T).
The data are represented in a two-dimensional coordinate system with two co-5 ordinate axes perpendicular to one another, with Tv as abscissa (x-axis) and Tu as ordinate (y-axis).
On its output unit, the apparatus displays the values of the data belonging to the (yi; zi) pair in the coordinate system by projecting the measured values onto the Tu-axis, thereby colour coding the measured values specified by the zi-values. The sequence of coloured data points in the y-direction indicates the difference between the data value and the reference value within a revolution time Tu, which was measured at time Tv, during a revolution. During the next revolution of the actuator in the same direction, the apparatus displays the data values at Tv(,,i) in the same manner. Since the (y(i+1), z (i+1)) pairs of values are shifted parallel to the (yi; zi) pairs of values in the direction of the Ty-axis, both measurements displayed side by side can be compared easily with one another for evaluation.
The apparatus advantageously reduces the information quantity by not coding each individual measured value in the measuring range with its own colour, but only certain classes of values that conform to defined tolerance values for the data. By comparing the data with reference values and a specification from one to a few tolerance ranges, the apparatus allocates only a few colours to the z-values. Based on the colour of the data point, the tolerance limit exceeded by the data point (y; z) is therefore visible.
During the evaluation of the data, the apparatus advantageously indicates an investigation requirement of the drive. This can then occur, for example, if at least once a data point has reached a tolerance limit to be defined, which is known as evidence of damage or hazard to the drive.
Moreover, the apparatus analyses the data points along a parallel to the com-parison time axis as to whether a change in the data points takes place in the direction of a tolerance limit to be defined. If a data value at a particular revolu-tion phase of the drive gradually exceeds higher tolerance thresholds, the appa-ratus issues a message at the output unit, which indicates that the system must be investigated by the service personnel.
= 6 The invention is explained below in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment that is represented by two figures.
Fig. 1 shows, by way of example, the analysis of switches on a railway network of a track-bound traffic system. By means of magnetic field sensors that are designed, for example, as 3D or multi-dimensional magnetic field sensors, the current magnitude and the direction of rotation of the switch drive are deter-mined by means of the measured magnetic fields by a data processing system.
The current curve is used in the analysis of the data as a measure of the slug-gishness of the switch.
In the figure, a single dash is assigned to each 4-wire switch drive cable; 3 switches are thus monitored with the diagnostic apparatus.
The diagnostic apparatus directly measures existing cabling of the respective switch drive, near a clamping strip. The clamping strip between the outer cable and the inner cable is ideal for this purpose.
The measurement data is transmitted by means of a suitable interface. In this example, a 4-20 mA interface is used. Depending on environmental conditions and distances, also, other wire-bound interfaces are possible, as well as wire-less, e.g. radio interfaces.
The control of the measuring process, the preparation of the measured data and the forwarding to a diagnostic system are functions of the connected data processing system.
Fig. 2 shows an exemplary representation of the switch-drive measurement da-ta. The measured current values are subtracted from the reference values of an intact drive stored in a database.
The differences from the reference values, Al, are divided into tolerance rang-es. In this example, none or only slight deviations from the reference value are assigned to the tolerance range TO. Greater deviations correspond to tolerance ranges Ti to T4. When the tolerance range T4 is reached, an acute danger to the operability of the drive exists.
Negative deviations feature a better sluggishness of the drive in comparison to the reference values. These measured values are assigned to tolerance range T-1. Each tolerance range is now assigned its own colour when displaying the measured values.
In this example, the colour green is assigned to the tolerance range TO and thus a match between the measured data and the reference values or it is only a minor deviation. Ti to T4, for example, the colours yellow, orange, light red and are assigned dark red, T-1 the colour blue.
The comparison time Tv plotted in the x-direction, the y-direction shows the measured values during a revolution (Tu) of the drive. The movement of the switch drive into a right-hand position is shown, starting from the x- axis, in the middle of the figure, while the data shown from the centre upwards describe a deflection of the drive into the left position. Along the Tv axis, several revolu-tions are displayed side by side. The switch drive comes to the end position after about the same period of revolution TuE. The same phases of the revolu-tion are therefore comparable along the parallels to the Tv-axis.
In the lower section of Figure 2 (clockwise), it can be seen how the values gradually deviate from the reference value over several revolutions during ap-proximately half the period of revolution. This can be seen in the fact that in the case of Tu, the colour has migrated from green to yellow over orange in the range of half revolution cycle time along a parallel to the Tv-axis. For the first revolutions at the beginning of measurements, the measured value still corre-sponded with the reference value, whereas the number of revolutions was more and more distant from its reference value.
This is an indication that the condition of the drive has deteriorated as corn-pared to the start of the measurements, and thus, there is a need for mainte-nance before the drive reaches a critical state. When analysing the data, an order to inspect the switch is triggered. In this case, a prediction of expected damage history is displayed by comparison with data stored in the database.
Based on this forecast, the optimum maintenance time can be defined.
In the upper area of Figure 2 (anti-clockwise), it can be seen, for example, how a sudden transition from green colour values to red takes place. An event has occurred here and damaged the switch, which must be corrected immediately.
Correspondingly, an alarm message is issued and an immediate check of the system is triggered. The spare parts required for repair are determined and dis-played from comparison with the data stored in a database.
In x-direction, for example, Tv can be represented, while the y-direction is charac-terised by T. Now, on a two-dimensional display plane to be able to display the values of the data in the coordinate system belonging to each (yi; zi) pair, a perspective representation could be selected. However, since this can quickly become obscure, a projection of the z-axis on the x-y plane according to the invention is considered. In order to be able to display information about the nu-merical values of the data, the zi-values are colour-coded. The sequence of coloured data points in the y-direction indicates the difference between the data value and the reference value within a revolution time Tu, which was measured at time Tv, during a revolution. During the next revolution of the actuator in the same direction, the data values at Tv(I+i) are displayed in the same manner.
Since the (y(i+1); z(i+1)) pairs of values are shifted parallel to the (yi;
zi) pairs of values in the direction of the Tv-axis, both measurements are shown side by side and can easily be compared with one another for evaluation. Data values for the same phases of the changeover operation for different setting processes always lie on a parallel to Tv-axis. Thus, the development of the measured val-ues at each phase of the changeover process can be efficiently evaluated by analysing the development of the colour along parallels to the x- and/or Tv-axis.
Particularly advantageously, the information quantity is therefore reduced in that not every single z-value, but only certain value classes, which are oriented towards defined tolerance values for the data, is coded. By comparing the data with reference values and a specification of one to a few tolerance ranges, a meaningful representation is achieved with the aid of a few colour values.
Based on the colour of the data point, the tolerance limit exceeded by the data point (y; z) is therefore visible.

The movement of the switch drive into a right-hand position is shown, starting from the x- axis, in the middle of the figure, while the data shown from the centre upwards describe a deflection of the drive into the left position. Along the Tv axis, several revolu-tions are displayed side by side. The switch drive comes to the end position after about the same period of revolution TuE. The same phases of the revolu-tion are therefore comparable along the parallels to the Tv-axis.
In the lower section of Figure 2 (clockwise), it can be seen how the values gradually deviate from the reference value over several revolutions during ap-proximately half the period of revolution. This can be seen in the fact that in the case of Tu, the colour has migrated from green to yellow over orange in the range of half revolution cycle time along a parallel to the Tv-axis. For the first revolutions at the beginning of measurements, the measured value still corre-sponded with the reference value, whereas the number of revolutions was more and more distant from its reference value.
This is an indication that the condition of the drive has deteriorated as corn-pared to the start of the measurements, and thus, there is a need for mainte-nance before the drive reaches a critical state. When analysing the data, an order to inspect the switch is triggered. In this case, a prediction of expected damage history is displayed by comparison with data stored in the database.
Based on this forecast, the optimum maintenance time can be defined.
In the upper area of Figure 2 (anti-clockwise), it can be seen, for example, how a sudden transition from green colour values to red takes place. An event has occurred here and damaged the switch, which must be corrected immediately.
Correspondingly, an alarm message is issued and an immediate check of the system is triggered. The spare parts required for repair are determined and dis-played from comparison with the data stored in a database.
