First Principle Failure Mode Recommendations

When providing first principle recommendations, some frequencies may overlap resulting in several suggestions made by FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI.

For motor analytics, FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI can differentiate the variation between bearing faults, mounting/coupling, and load application. In the example of a bearing fault, the user will see multiple recommendations including Ball, Inner Race, Outer Race, and Cage. The following image illustrates the overlapping recommendations for motor, pump, and fan/blower first principle recommendations.

Pumps, fans, and blowers are specific applications of motor analytics. When a user configures a pump, fan, or blower, FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI will provide first principle recommendations for the specific application and the motor analytics. As illustrated below, the analysis from FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI is inclusive of the motor, coupling, and Load application.
