Method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device, and more particularly, to a method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device, which classifies the device into an intermittent operation type and a continuous operation type according to the operation pattern of the device, sets different weights for starting current items or constant current items for detecting the health of the device according to the type of the device whose health is to be detected, and then applies the weights set for each item according to the type of the device to the health values ​​of the starting current and constant current items detected based on the current waveform of the device in real time, thereby compensating for the type of the device according to various operation patterns, thereby detecting a very reasonable health index of the device.

[0002] In general, stable operation is very important for various devices used for automation processes of facilities.

[0003] For example, in the facilities of a large-scale production plant, tens or hundreds of devices are installed and operate in conjunction with each other to continuously produce products. If a single device among the many devices breaks down, a catastrophic situation can occur where the entire operation of the facility comes to a halt.

[0004] At this time, downtime due to equipment failure inevitably leads to enormous losses not only in equipment repair costs but also in operating costs and business effects wasted while the equipment is down.

[0005] To avoid such unexpected downtime costs, the present applicant has developed and proposed a method for detecting the health index of a device that can provide information on the real-time status of the device to the manager, thereby enabling efficient management of the device by performing inspection and repair before the device malfunctions.

[0006] However, the health index detection methods of the device developed and proposed by the present applicant detected the health of the device by applying the current value consumed by the device to a specific detection method, and since such detection method is uniformly applied to all devices used in various operation patterns, there was a problem in that the reliability of the detected health of the device was somewhat low.

[0007] The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a reasonable health index detection method of a device capable of detecting a very reasonable health index of a device by classifying the device into an intermittent operation type and a continuous operation type according to the operation pattern of the device, and setting different weights of the starting current item or the constant current item for detecting the health of the device according to the type of the device whose health is to be detected, and then applying the weights set for each item according to the type of the device to the health values ​​of the starting current and constant current items detected based on the current waveform of the device in real time, thereby compensating for the type of the device according to various operation patterns.

[0008] In addition, in order to detect the health of the device, various detection items such as starting current items, constant current items, load time items, ground fault current items, and current unbalance rate items are presented, and the health of the device in real time is detected based on the weights assigned to each of the presented items according to the type of device, thereby providing a method for detecting a reasonable health index of the device that can secure excellent reliability for the reasonable health index of the device being detected.

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a reasonable health index detection method for a device, comprising: a detection item classification step (S10) in which the health of the device is detected based on the current state of the peak section in which the current size is formed to the maximum in a current waveform constructed by collecting information on changes in the size of the current consumed over time in a device driven to perform an operation; and a constant current item in which the health of the device is detected based on the current state of the constant section in which the current size is continuously maintained in a certain range in the current waveform; a device type classification step (S20) in which the device is classified into an intermittent operation type and a continuous operation type based on the operation pattern of the device; a weight setting step (S30) in which the type of the device for which health is to be detected is selected from the intermittent and continuous operation types, and weights for the starting current item and the constant current item are set based on the selected type; and a peak section of a real-time current waveform measured and collected from a device performing a real-time operation is applied to the starting current item to detect the health of the device, and the constant section of the real-time current waveform is applied to the constant current item. It is characterized by including a detection step (S40) for detecting the health of a device by applying it to an item and then detecting a reasonable health index of the device in real time by applying a weight set to each item.

[0010] In addition, the above-described starting current item sets a starting reference value in consideration of the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the peak section in the current waveform of the device is less than the starting reference value, the device is detected as being in a stable state, and if the current value of the peak section exceeds the starting reference value, the device is detected as being in an unstable state; the above-described constant-speed current item sets a constant-speed reference value in consideration of the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the constant-speed section in the current waveform of the device is less than the constant-speed reference value, the device is detected as being in a stable state, and if the current value of the constant-speed section exceeds the constant-speed reference value, the device is detected as being in an unstable state.

[0011] In addition, in the device type classification step (S20), a device of a type having a pattern with a short operating time and a large number of operating times is classified as an intermittent operation type, and a device of a type having a pattern with a long operating time and a small number of operating times is classified as a continuous operation type. In the weight setting step (S30), if the device corresponds to the intermittent operation type, the weight of the starting current item is set to be the same as or higher than the weight of the constant current item, and if the device corresponds to the continuous operation type, the weight of the constant current item is set to be the same as or higher than the weight of the starting current item.

[0012] In addition, the above-mentioned starting current item sets a starting reference value that is higher than the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the peak section in the current waveform of the device is less than the starting reference value, it is detected as a stable state, and if the current value of the peak section exceeds the starting reference value, it is detected as an unstable state to determine the health of the device, and if the device is in a stable state, a health value of 1 is assigned, and if the device is in an unstable state, a health value of less than 1 is assigned, and the above-mentioned constant-speed current item sets a constant-speed reference value that is smaller than the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the constant-speed section in the current waveform of the device is less than the constant-speed reference value, it is detected as a stable state, and if the current value of the constant-speed section exceeds the constant-speed reference value, it is detected as an unstable state to determine the health of the device, and if the device is in a stable state, a health value of 1 is assigned, and if the device is in an unstable state, a health value of less than 1 is assigned, and the above-mentioned weight setting step (S30) assigns a weight % to each of the above-mentioned starting current item and the above-mentioned constant-speed current item according to the type of device whose health is to be detected, with respect to the total weight of 100%. The setting and detection step (S40) are characterized in that the health index of the starting current item is detected by applying the current state of the peak section of the real-time current waveform measured from the real-time device to the starting current item and multiplying the detected health value by a weight % set for the starting current item, and the health index of the constant current item is detected by applying the current state of the constant section of the real-time current waveform to the constant current item and multiplying the detected health value by a weight % set for the constant current item, and then adding the health index of the starting current item and the health index of the constant current item to detect a reasonable health index.

[0013] In addition, the detection item classification step (S10) further includes a load time item that detects the health of the device based on the time when the current value of the peak section of the current waveform measured and collected from the device exceeds the start reference value and the time when the current value of the constant speed section exceeds the constant speed reference value, a ground fault current item that detects the difference value between the amount of power supplied to the device performing the operation and the amount of power consumed by the device and detects the health of the device based on the detected difference value, and a current unbalance rate item that detects the unbalance rate of the current value supplied to the three phases (R phase, S phase, T phase) of the device and detects the health of the device based on the unbalance rate of the three phases, and the weight setting step (S30) further selects one or more of the load time item, the ground fault current item, and the current unbalance rate item, and sets weights for the selected item and the start current item and the constant speed current item, respectively, and the detection step (S40) further includes a load current item and a current unbalance rate item based on real-time current waveform information measured and collected from the device performing the real-time operation. It is characterized in that the health of the device is detected for each item selected in the weight setting step (S30) together with the constant current item, and then the weight set for each item is applied to detect a reasonable health index of the device in real time.

[0014] In addition, the device type classification step (S20) is characterized by further including an irregular operation type that distinguishes a device having an irregular pattern in operation time or number of operations.

[0015] As described above, according to the method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to the present invention, the device is divided into an intermittent operation type and a continuous operation type according to the operation pattern of the device, and the weights of the starting current item or the constant current item for detecting the health of the device are set differently according to the type of the device whose health is to be detected, and then the health values ​​of the starting current and constant current items detected based on the current waveform of the device in real time are applied with the weights set for each item according to the type of the device, thereby compensating for the type of the device according to various operation patterns, thereby having the effect of detecting a very reasonable health index of the device.

[0016] In addition, in order to detect the health of the device, various detection items such as starting current items, constant current items, load time items, ground fault current items, and current unbalance rate items are presented, and the health of the device in real time is detected based on the weights assigned to each of the presented items according to the type of device, thereby securing excellent reliability for the reasonable health index of the detected device.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] Figures 2 to 8 are drawings for explaining a reasonable health index detection method of the device shown in Figure 1.

[0019] A method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention are omitted.

[0020] FIGS. 1 to 8 illustrate a method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a method for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 8 are drawings for explaining a method for detecting a reasonable health index of the device illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0021] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a method (100) for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a detection item classification step (S10), a device type classification step (S20), a weight setting step (S30), and a detection step (S40).

[0022] The above detection item classification step (S10) is a step of classifying the above detection item into a starting current item that detects the health of the device based on the current status of the peak section in which the current size is formed to the maximum (peak) in the current waveform constructed by collecting information on changes in the current size consumed over time in the device driven to perform an operation, and a constant current item that detects the health of the device based on the current status of the constant speed section in which the current size is continuously maintained within a certain range in the current waveform.

[0023] Typically, a device that operates based on power, for example, a device that operates based on an electric motor, when the device is driven to perform an operation, as shown in Fig. 2, a high current is required at the time of starting the operation, so that the current size is large. After that, when the device is normally operated and stabilized, the current size is maintained within a certain range.

[0024] That is, in the detection item classification step (S10), information on changes in the current size consumed over time in a device driven to perform an operation is collected to construct a current waveform, and in the constructed current waveform, a section in which the current size is formed high at the time when the driving starts is set as a peak section, and a section in which the driving is stabilized and the current size is maintained within a constant range is set as a constant speed section. The startup current item detects the health of the device through the current state of the peak section, and a startup reference value is set in consideration of the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the peak section in the current waveform of the device is less than the startup reference value, the device is detected as being in a stable state, and if the current value of the peak section exceeds the startup reference value, the device is detected as being in an unstable state. The constant speed current item detects the health of the device through the current state of the constant speed section, and a constant speed reference value is set in consideration of the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the constant speed section in the current waveform of the device is less than the constant speed reference value, the device is detected as being in a stable state, and if the current value of the constant speed section exceeds the constant speed reference value, the device is detected as being in an unstable state.

[0025] In detail, the above-mentioned starting current item sets a starting reference value that is higher than the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the peak section in the current waveform of the device is less than the starting reference value, it is detected as a stable state, and if the current value of the peak section exceeds the starting reference value, it is detected as an unstable state, and the health of the device is determined. If the device is in a stable state, it is given a health value of 1, and if the device is in an unstable state, it is given a health value of less than 1. The above-mentioned constant-speed current item sets a constant-speed reference value that is smaller than the rated current of the device, and if the current value of the constant-speed section in the current waveform of the device is less than the constant-speed reference value, it is detected as a stable state, and if the current value of the constant-speed section exceeds the constant-speed reference value, it is detected as an unstable state, and the health of the device is determined. If the device is in a stable state, it is given a health value of 1, and if the device is in an unstable state, it is given a health value of less than 1. This will be described below.

[0026] The above device type classification step (S20) is a step for classifying the device into a single-drive type and a continuous-drive type based on the device's operating pattern.

[0027] Here, the above-mentioned single-drive type refers to a device having a pattern with a short operating time and a large number of operating times, and the above-mentioned continuous-drive type refers to a device having a pattern with a long operating time and a small number of operating times.

[0028] For example, the above-mentioned single-speed drive type device may be a device that constitutes equipment that assembles products while performing repetitive operations, and the above-mentioned continuous-drive type device may be a device such as a conveyor or pump that operates for a long time.

[0029] The above weight setting step (S30) is a step of selecting the type of device for which soundness is to be detected from among the intermittent and continuous operation types, and setting weights for the starting current item and the constant current item based on the selected type.

[0030] In detail, in the weight setting step (S30), if the device corresponds to the intermittent drive type, the weight of the starting current item is set to be equal to or higher than the weight of the constant current item, and if the device corresponds to the continuous drive type, the weight of the constant current item is set to be equal to or higher than the weight of the starting current item.

[0031] Here, the reason why the weights of the items are set differently according to the intermittent and continuous operation types as described above is that, as shown in FIG. 3, the intermittent operation type device has the characteristic of repeatedly performing operations in a short period of time, and therefore, the current waveform having peak and constant speed sections is repeatedly collected in a short period of time, so the current state of the peak section where high current is consumed during operation is important, and therefore the weight of the starting current item is set high, and as shown in FIG. 4, the continuous operation type device has the characteristic of continuously performing operations for a long time once it is operated, and therefore, the constant speed section of the current waveform is formed longer than the peak section, and therefore, the current state of the constant speed section is important, and therefore the weight of the constant speed current item is set high.

[0032] For example, the weight setting step (S30) can appropriately set a weight % numerically for each of the starting current item and the constant current item according to the type of device for which soundness is to be detected, with respect to the total weight of 100%.

[0033] Of course, the weight of the starting current item set high in the above-mentioned single-speed drive type or the weight of the constant-speed current item set high in the above-mentioned continuous-drive type can be set to various values ​​in consideration of the environment and conditions in which the device is actually used.

[0034] The above detection step (S40) is a step of detecting the health of the device by applying the peak section of the real-time current waveform measured and collected from the device performing real-time operation to the starting current item, detecting the health of the device by applying the constant speed section of the real-time current waveform to the constant speed current item, and then detecting a reasonable health index of the real-time device by applying a weight set to each item.

[0035] That is, the detection step (S40) detects a health index of the starting current item by applying the current state of the peak section of the real-time current waveform measured from the real-time device to the starting current item and multiplying the detected health value by a weight % set for the starting current item, and detects a health index of the constant current item by applying the current state of the constant section of the real-time current waveform to the constant current item and multiplying the detected health value by a weight % set for the constant current item, and then adding the health index of the starting current item and the health index of the constant current item to detect a reasonable health index.

[0036] Through a method (100) for detecting a reasonable health index of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention consisting of the steps described above, a reasonable health index of a device (perforator) installed in an equipment line and repeatedly performing operations in a short period of time and having a current of 17 A is detected as follows.

[0037] First, based on the operation pattern of the device whose health is to be detected, it is classified as an intermittent operation type or a continuous operation type. Since the device has a pattern of performing repetitive operations in a short period of time, the device is classified as an intermittent operation type.

[0038] Then, considering the environment in which the device is used, conditions, and device information corresponding to the intermittent drive type, weights are set for detection items that can detect the health of the device. Based on the information collected as above, it is assumed that a weight of 70% is set for the starting current item and a weight of 30% is set for the constant current item out of the total 100% of the weights.

[0039] Then, as shown in Fig. 5, the current value of the peak section in the real-time current waveform measured and collected from the device repeatedly operating in real time is applied to the above-mentioned starting current item, and the device's health value is continuously detected through the above-mentioned starting reference value set.

[0040] Here, the starting reference value is set to a current value corresponding to 300% of the rated current, and if the current value of the peak section is less than the starting reference value, the health value is detected as 1, and if the current value of the peak section is greater than the starting reference value, the health value is formed to be less than 1, but the health value gradually decreases in proportion to the size of the current value of the peak section exceeding the starting reference value. For example, if the current value of the peak section corresponds to 300 to 400% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.9, if the current value of the peak section corresponds to 400 to 500% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.8, and if the current value of the peak section exceeds 500% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.7.

[0041] At the same time, the health value of the device is continuously detected through the constant speed reference value set by applying the current value of the constant speed section from the real-time current waveform measured and collected from the device operating in real time to the constant speed current item.

[0042] Here, the constant speed reference value is set to a current value corresponding to 60% of the rated current, and if the current value of the constant speed section is less than the constant speed reference value, the health value is detected as 1, and if the current value of the constant speed section is greater than the constant speed reference value, the health value is formed to be less than 1, and the health value gradually decreases in proportion to the size of the current value of the constant speed section exceeding the constant speed reference value. For example, if the current value of the constant speed section corresponds to 60 to 70% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.9, if the current value of the constant speed section corresponds to 70 to 80% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.8, if the current value of the constant speed section corresponds to 80 to 100% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.7, and if the current value of the constant speed section exceeds 100% of the rated current, the health value is set to 0.5.

[0043] Of course, the setting of the above starting and constant speed reference values ​​for detecting the health value in the above starting current and constant speed current items can be set in various ways considering the rated current of the device, usage environment, conditions, etc.

[0044] Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the health value of the startup current item detected based on the real-time current waveform measured from the real-time device is multiplied by a weight of 70% set for the startup current item to detect the health index of the real-time device for the startup current item, and at the same time, the health value of the constant current item detected based on the current waveform of the real-time device is multiplied by a weight of 30% set for the constant current item to detect the health index of the real-time device for the constant current item, and then the health indices are added up to detect and provide a reasonable health index of the real-time device.

[0045] Here, the above embodiment sets a high weight to the starting current item that detects the health of the peak section due to the characteristic of detecting a reasonable health index of a device corresponding to an intermittent drive type, but in the case of detecting the health of a device corresponding to a continuous drive type with a pattern of a long operating time and a small number of operations, it is of course possible to detect a reasonable health index of the device by setting a high weight to the constant current item that detects the health of the constant speed section.

[0046] Meanwhile, the detection item classification step (S10) further includes a load time item that detects the health of the device based on the time when the current value of the peak section of the current waveform measured and collected from the device exceeds the start reference value and the time when the current value of the constant speed section exceeds the constant speed reference value, a ground fault current item that detects the difference value between the amount of power supplied to the device performing the operation and the amount of power consumed by the device and detects the health of the device based on the detected difference value, and a current unbalance rate item that detects the unbalance rate of the current value supplied to the three phases (R phase, S phase, T phase) of the device and detects the health of the device based on the unbalance rate of the three phases, and the weight setting step (S30) further selects one or more of the load time item, the ground fault current item, and the current unbalance rate item, and sets weights for the selected item and the start current item and the constant speed current item, respectively, and the detection step (S40) further includes a load current item and a current unbalance rate item based on real-time current waveform information measured and collected from the device performing the real-time operation. After detecting the health of the device for each item selected in the above weight setting step (S30) together with the constant current item, a reasonable health index of the device in real time can be detected by applying the weight set for each item.

[0047] For example, in order to detect a reasonable health index of a device, in the weight setting step (S30), the load time item, the ground fault current item, and the current unbalance rate item are further selected in addition to the starting current item and the constant current item, so that the health of the device is detected from a total of five items. However, considering the type of the device, the rated current, the usage environment and conditions, etc., it is assumed that the weight of the starting current item is set to 35%, the weight of the constant current item is set to 15%, the weight of the load time item is set to 15%, the weight of the ground fault current item is set to 20%, and the weight of the current unbalance rate item is set to 15%, thereby detecting a reasonable health index of the device in real time.

[0048] Here, the above-mentioned starting current item and the above-mentioned constant speed current item were set to the starting and setting reference values ​​as described above to detect the health dimension, and the above-mentioned load time item was set to have a detection time of 24 hours, and if the sum of the time during which the current value of the peak section in the real-time current waveform of the device exceeds the starting reference value and the time during which the current value of the constant speed section exceeds the constant speed reference value is less than 10% of the set 24 hours, the health value was detected as 1, and if it corresponds to 10 to 20%, the health value was set to 0.9, if it corresponds to 20 to 30%, the health value was set to 0.8, and if it exceeds 30%, the health value was set to 0.6, and if the above-mentioned ground fault current item is set to have a difference (ground fault current) between the amount of power supplied to the device in real time and the amount of power consumed by the device based on the rated current of 17A of the device, the health value was detected as 1 if the value was less than 0.1A, and if it corresponds to 0.1 to When it corresponds to 0.29A, the health value is set to 0.9, when it corresponds to 0.3 to 0.49A, the health value is set to 0.7, and when it exceeds 0.5A, the health value is set to 0.5. In addition, the current unbalance rate item is set to detect the health value as 1 when the unbalance rate for the 3-phase current value supplied to the real-time device is less than 5%, and when it corresponds to 5 to 10%, the health value is set to 0.9, when it corresponds to 10 to 20%, the health value is set to 0.7, and when it exceeds 20%, the health value is set to 0.5.

[0049] Of course, the various values ​​set to detect the health value in the above-mentioned starting current items, constant current items, load time items, ground fault current items, and current unbalance rate items can be set to various sizes in consideration of the rated current of the device, usage environment, conditions, etc.

[0050] Then, as shown in Fig. 7, the real-time current waveform measured and collected from the real-time operating device is applied to the starting current item, constant-speed current item, load time item, ground fault current item, and current unbalance rate item to detect the health value for each item.

[0051] As described above, based on the current waveform measured and collected from the real-time device, the health index of each item is detected by multiplying each detected health value applied to the starting current item, constant current item, load time item, ground fault current item, and current unbalance rate item by each set weighting %. As summarized in FIG. 8, the health index of the starting current item is detected by multiplying the detected health value by the set weighting of 35%, the health index of the constant current item is detected by multiplying the detected health value by the set weighting of 15%, the health index of the load time item is detected by multiplying the detected health value by the set weighting of 15%, the health index of the ground fault current item is detected by multiplying the detected health value by the set weighting of 20%, and the health index of the current unbalance rate item is detected by multiplying the detected health value by the set weighting of 15%, and then the health index of each item is added. Detects a reasonable health index of real-time devices.

[0052] Here, it goes without saying that the weights set for the starting current items, constant current items, load time items, ground fault current items, and current unbalance rate items can be freely set for each item by considering the type of device, the environment in which the device is used, conditions, etc.

[0053] Meanwhile, the device type classification step (S20) may further include an irregular operation type that distinguishes devices having an irregular pattern of operation time or number of operations.

[0054] If the type of device for which soundness is to be detected corresponds to the irregular operation type, the weights for the starting current and constant current items are appropriately (freely) set by collecting and considering information such as the pattern, time, environment, and conditions under which the device actually operates in the field, so that the soundness index for devices that operate somewhat irregularly can also be reasonably detected.
