Abstract

In the transition to automated and automatic manufacturing an urgent problem is to increase the reliability of mobile robots (MR) and their drives, creation of devices to monitor the technical characteristics of MR, diagnose and predict the remaining resource. Inspite of the high relevance of the diagnosing MR drives problem, there are no generally accepted methodology for diagnosing MR drives, criteria for selecting methods, parameters and volumes of diagnostics at present. An unsolved problem, related to the diagnosis of MR drives and the prediction of their residual life remains, is the development of methods that allow to carry out of automatic complex multiparametric diagnostics and prediction of the residual life using artificial intelligence methods. Effective fault detection and diagnosis can improve the reliability of the MR drive and avoid costly maintenance. In this paper a fault detection scheme for synchronous motors with permanent magnets based on a fuzzy system is proposed. The sequence current components (positive and negative sequence currents) are used as fault indicators and are set as input to the fuzzy fault detector. The expediency of the proposed scheme for determining of various types of faults for a synchronous motor with permanent magnets under various operating conditions is simulated using the SimInTech software.
