[VIDEO] Motor Driver Check in Case of PLC Failure

It often happens that, within a process, failures occur in the drivers of the engines.

In this video I want to show you how you should act in these situations, which, without the proper measures, could cause us a big headache.

A motor driver is a current amplifier whose function is to take a small, low-current control signal and convert it into a high-current signal that can power the motor.

There are many types of motor drivers depending on the motor to be driven, maximum voltage, maximum output current, etc.

If there are faults in the motor drivers, it is very common in the digital starters that will determine the type of failure that occurs in the engine.

It is possible to go to the electrical motor control room and observe exactly what happened.

Once inside the control room, we observe the digital panels of the starters, which will indicate the error that occurred.

To avoid going to the motor control room, programming lines must be implemented that allow us to recognize these errors that occurred in our PLC program.

That is why it is necessary to configure the diagnostics of these digital starters in the PLC to give us more details.

 These digital starters carry one or more bits to the plc, with the purpose of indicating the different errors that may have been generated within the engine control.
