Hello;
What will measuring the engine body temperature tell you (or the operators) about the status of your motor, about it'd diagnostics? Basically, nothing useful. The critical motor temperatures you should monitor (for electrical motors) are the winding and the bearing temperatures they will tell you whether the motor is running well or if it is degrading, "running hot". But to measure these temperatures the sensors (PT100 in your case) must be installed inside the motor, directly on the motor windings or inside the bearings casing, as close as possible to any potential hot-spot. That way the temperature value you monitor on the PLC can really help you evaluate your motor's condition. Unfortunately, that means the motor must come from the manufacturer with the sensors installed (included when you configured the motor specs), or you can make sure that these temperature probes are integrated when you have the motor rewound. There are many sources of information on temperature monitoring for electric motors, here is one: https://www.tytorobotics.com/blogs/general-knowledge/how-to-check-electric-motor-temperature-sensor Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
