A motor assembly for driving a pump or rotary device features a power plane with a circular geometry to be mounted inside a space envelope having a similar circular geometry formed on an end-plate between an inner hub portion and a peripheral portion that extends circumferentially around the space envelope of the end-plate. The power plane is a multi-layer circuit board or assembly having: a power layer with higher temperature power modules for providing power to a motor, a control layer with lower temperature control electronics modules for controlling the power provided to the motor, and a thermal barrier and printed circuit board layer between the power layer and the control layer that provides electrical connection paths between the power modules of the power plane and the control electronics modules of the control layer, and also provides insulation between the power layer and the control layer.

Motor drive unit

A motor assembly for driving a pump (e.g., liquid pump) includes an electric motor with an output shaft. A motor frame houses the electric motor so that the output shaft protrudes from an end of the motor frame. A plate assembly is coupleable about the output shaft to the end of the motor frame. The please assembly has a cavity that houses motor drive electronics. The plate assembly further defines a duct that extends between a central opening and one or more openings on an outer radial wall of the plate assembly. A fan is coupled to the output shaft so that the plate assembly is disposed between the fan and the motor frame. Rotation of the output shaft by the electric motor rotates the fan, causing air to flow through the duct. Air flow through the duct inhibits heat transfer between the electric motor and the motor drive electronics.

Motor assembly for driving a pump or rotary device having a cooling duct

The present invention provides wireless sensor technology seamlessly integrated into a pump system having a pump, a motor and a drive, has diagnostic and prognostic intelligence that utilizes sensor data, allows real-time condition monitoring; enables easy access to data and analytics via smart devices (i.e., smart phones and tablets); allows for easy remote monitoring (i.e., web portal) of the pump system; allows self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) built-in that adapts to changing conditions; and allows for smart pump system remote control. In operation, the present invention monitors the health and performance of the pump system that allows the user to get real-time data and intelligence virtually anywhere and anytime, as well as real-time diagnostics and prognostics, and also allows for smart control of the pump system remotely via smart device, and reduces downtime of equipment.

Smart pump for remotely sending realtime data to a smart device

A motor assembly includes an electric motor with an output shaft. A motor frame houses the electric motor so that the output shaft protrudes from an end of the motor frame. A plate assembly is coupleable about the output shaft to the end of the motor frame. The plate assembly has a cavity that houses motor drive electronics. The plate assembly further defines a duct that extends between a central opening and one or more openings on an outer radial wall of the plate assembly. A fan is configured to flow air over one or more surfaces of the plate assembly and causes to flow through the duct to inhibits heat transfer between the electric motor and the motor drive electronics.

Technologies are generally described for an integrated monitoring system to monitor several operational aspects of a bearing assembly, analyze monitored aspects, provide predictions, alerts, and reports based on general equipment data or specific rotating machine data. A number of sensors in and on a bearing housing may sense a variety of operational aspects and provide input to a local or remote monitoring device. The bearing housing may include sensor mounting locations for one or more sensors. In some examples, an oil level sensor placed in a suitable mounting location on the bearing housing may detect oil levels inside the bearing housing. The monitoring device may analyze the sensor inputs in light of other information such as historic performance data, environmental information, etc. Reports, predictions, alerts, and/or suggested corrective actions may be generated based on the analysis by the monitoring device and/or remote devices communicatively coupled to the monitoring device.

Bearing frame monitoring system

A system for performing sensor data analytics for equipment diagnostics featuring an alarm signature and diagnostic detector having a signal processor configured to receive signaling containing information about an alarm signature for sensed data that is time-stamped for captured alarm signature parameters in order to monitor rotary equipment, and also about diagnostic detector signatures for diagnostic detectors related to alarm conditions for the rotary equipment; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about an alarm diagnosis based upon a match between the alarm signature and one of the diagnostic detector signatures contained in the signaling received.

'Smart' sensor data analytics for equipment diagnosis

Apparatus is provided having a smart communication device having a processor configured to: receive signaling containing information about sensed data from a multiplicity of data collectors each associated with a respective piece of equipment and configured to collect the sensed data related to the respective piece of equipment when the smart communication device is moved within a predefined proximity to automatically connect with each data collector to receive the signaling during movement of the smart communication device on a programmed route having multiple pieces of equipment; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about prioritized sensed data related to each of the multiplicity of data collectors for operating an app in the processor, based upon the signaling received. The smart communication device includes an iPad, a smart phone, a laptop or a subsystem of a vehicle/robot. The apparatus may include the vehicle/robot having the subsystem.
