Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a large selection of accessories is provided for amplifier selection, then the versatility and compatibility of the system is improved, but the complexity of the selection process and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores accessory information including identification information, compatible motor/amplifier identification information, and supplementary information in an accessory information storage unit before the selection process begins. This preliminary preparation allows the amplifier selector to quickly retrieve and match compatible accessories without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus maintaining high versatility while reducing selection complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The amplifier selector acts as an intermediary that automatically matches the selected amplifier with compatible accessories by referring to pre-stored compatibility information. This intermediary function eliminates the need for users to manually check compatibility among multiple accessories, reducing selection process complexity while maintaining access to a large variety of compatible accessories
2Measurement precision
If users manually check accessory specifications to ensure compatibility, then the accuracy of selection is improved, but the time and effort required for selection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically checking and determining accessory compatibility through the amplifier selector, which refers to pre-stored compatibility information. This eliminates the need for users to manually check specifications, maintaining high selection accuracy while significantly reducing the time and effort required for the selection process
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying an accessory list showing only accessories compatible with the selected amplifier. This automated feedback mechanism ensures selection accuracy by filtering out incompatible options, while saving users the time of manually verifying each accessory's compatibility
3Productivity
If an automated amplifier and accessory selection system is implemented, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The selection system is segmented into distinct functional units: motor selector, amplifier selector, and accessory selector. Each unit has a specific function and operates independently, which simplifies the overall system structure while maintaining high automation and productivity. The segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific task without increasing overall complexity
4Reliability
If detailed accessory information and wiring diagrams are displayed, then the reliability and accuracy of installation is improved, but the information volume and display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display controller provides local quality by showing detailed accessory information and wiring diagrams only for accessories that are compatible with the selected amplifier. This targeted information display ensures installation reliability for compatible accessories while avoiding the information overload that would result from displaying data for all possible accessories, thus managing information processing load efficiently
