Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If additional hardware is added for wireless communication, then wireless communication capability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The motor control system is designed to perform multiple functions including wireless communication, motor control, and data processing within a single integrated platform. The processor and communication interfaces are configured to handle both traditional motor control tasks and wireless data transmission, eliminating the need for separate dedicated wireless communication hardware
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines wireless communication functionality with the existing motor control system by integrating communication interfaces and protocols directly into the motor control electronics. This merging approach allows the motor controller to simultaneously manage motor operation and wireless communication without requiring separate hardware systems
2Ease of operation
If external wireless networks are used for communication, then remote control capability is improved, but reliability and maintenance cost worsen due to network dependency
Solution Approach 1:
The motor control system acts as an intermediary that can operate independently or in conjunction with external systems. The integrated communication interfaces allow the motor controller to receive commands from external devices while maintaining the capability to autonomously manage motor operation, reducing dependency on continuous external network connectivity
Solution Approach 2:
The motor control system is designed with autonomous operation capabilities, where the processor can independently execute motor control algorithms and make decisions based on sensor feedback without requiring constant external control signals. This self-service capability ensures continued operation even when external wireless networks are unavailable
