Determining drive system anomalies based on power and/or current changes in an irrigation system

A predictive maintenance system for an irrigation system includes one or more sensors configured to generate a signal indicative of abnormal operation within the irrigation system, the sensors electrically coupled to a drive system, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the predictive maintenance system to receive the generated signal, determine abnormal operation of the drive system based on the generated signal, and predict, by a machine learning model, a maintenance requirement of the drive system based on the determined abnormal operation.

20170315527 · 2017-11-02 ·

The invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine (1) with a multiple number of similar work stations (2), whereas, with the assistance of work stations (2) during normal operation, yarn is produced or is rewound from a delivery coil onto a receiving coil, and whereas normal operation at the individual work stations (2) is interrupted at certain time intervals and is resumed with the assistance of a maintenance operation, and whereas the maintenance operations are carried out by one or more maintenance devices (3). In accordance with the invention, it proposed that for each work station (2), one or more production-related parameters are known or are determined, and that if more maintenance operations are to be carried out simultaneously than can be carried out by the maintenance devices(s) (3), the selection of the work station (2) to be serviced next will then be made under consideration of such production-related parameters, in such a manner that an upcoming batch change is completed as early as possible.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING/REGULATING A ROTATORY DRIVE OF A WORKING UNIT OF A TRACK MAINTENANCE MACHINE
20220235521 · 2022-07-28 ·

A method for controlling/regulating a rotatory drive of a working unit of a track maintenance machine includes using a sensor to record a measurement parameter with an approximately periodic history function derived from a rotation of the drive. A frequency or period duration of the history function is determined with an evaluation device, and the frequency or period duration is compared with a target parameter for stipulating a control signal. A number of time-discrete measurement values is formed for the measurement parameter and an auto-correlation of these measurement values is carried out by a calculation unit for determining the frequency or the period duration. As compared to a conventional method with zero stage recording, a precise recording of frequency changes is therefore also possible between two zero stages. A device for carrying out the method is also provided.
