The Siemens Division Industry Solutions has developed a system for analyzing frequency converter modules.
24.06.2011 + + + Thermal images are recorded in order to investigate both defects and functioning parts of a module. These are then compared with corresponding images in a reference database. If sources of faults are identified, the test system automatically outputs recommendations for repairs and spare parts. This reduces the time required to diagnose and repair frequency converter modules by up to 30 percent. That, in turn, not only reduces the expenditure on repairs and spare parts, but also enables realistic estimates to be made of the remaining service life and risk of the module failing.
A thermal image is taken immediately after the module is switched on in order to detect any faults arising during the ramp-up sequence. This is followed by further functional tests, for each of which new images are taken. The recordings are then compared with reference images in a database. The sources of the faults thus identified are immediately output as a report, which includes a recommended repair, and specifies the spare parts required. The exact repair required for the defective component can then begin.
