New features in the EASA AC Motor Verification and Redesign – Version 4 (ACRewind) program enhance the ability for members to submit data electronically for inclusion in EASA’s Motor Rewind Data – Version 4 (MotorDB) program. Jump to the section below on “enhancements” if you’re already familiar with these programs and how they work. 

The Version 4 software is a powerful set of tools for members to check the validity of winding data and to redesign windings from concentric-to-lap and for changes in motor performance. A key feature of this latest version of the program is the integration of the MotorDB with the ACRewind program. The availability of both program functions within a common user interface provides more than just convenience. The ability of the programs to share data resources creates new capabilities that the stand-alone version of the program could not.

The business-to-business (B2B) buyer’s journey has changed dramatically in recent years. Is your company prepared for today’s independent and digitally-empowered business buyer? The B2B buying process is becoming longer because the majority of buyers are spending more time in the research phase to evaluate products and services. What’s more, they are relying less on salespeople in this phase.

According to 2017 research from Forrester, 60% of B2B buyers prefer not to communicate with sales representatives as their primary information source. Increasingly, they are looking to digital media. In a 2014 survey of 3,000 B2B decision makers, Google discovered that 89% of B2B purchasers use the internet during their research process and that 71% of B2B researchers begin with a generic search. Further, B2B purchasers were found to do an average of 12 searches before engaging a specific company’s website.

In light of this data, I wanted to see how prepared EASA members are for today’s B2B buyer.

The EASA AC Motor Verification & Redesign - Version 4 software (ACR-MotorDb) is a powerful tool for service centers providing the capability to meet their customer’s needs for AC stator and wound rotor redesigns. In most cases, the data from the existing winding is recorded when that winding is removed from the core. But occasions arise where that original data is not available; it may have been recorded incorrectly or a different service center may have stripped the core but not completed the repair. In those cases, the service center must come up with a new “bare core” winding design. ACR-MotorDb has some specific features to address this need.

HOW TO CALCULATE A WINDING FROM A BARE CORE

The MotorDb segment of the program is the EASA Winding Database compiled over decades from winding data submitted by EASA members. With over 300,000 winding records, it is likely that windings similar to the original winding are available in MotorDb. By simply searching the database for the core dimension criteria, a list of prospective matching windings is returned. A winding from the database does not have to match the original motor nameplate exactly to be used as basis for the bare core design. When a matching winding is selected, that data can be automatically transferred to the Redesign program where modifications needed to match the desired criteria can be adjusted. The process is smooth, effortless and accommodates most 3 phase induction motor windings.

The first step is to display a list of prospective windings that closely match the bare core dimension criteria. Enter the core length, bore diameter, number of slots and poles into the MotorDb search dialog box. As an example, we will search for a 12” core length, 14” bore diameter and 72 slots for a 125 HP, 6 pole Marathon motor. Initially enter only the core dimensions, number of slots and number of poles (Figure 1); the Get Count feature will quickly return the number of matching records. If the result is about 50 or fewer motors, click OK to retrieve those records into a spreadsheet format where the records can be sorted by columns and reviewed. If the Record Count is too large, enter additional criteria to narrow the search. For our example, 44 records were found, and the resulting spreadsheet is illustrated in Figure 2.

The spreadsheet can be sorted by columns to easily review the data. It is useful to sort by the AirDensity (AGD) and Power (Pwr) columns to assess if the bare core is a good candidate for the desired resulting winding. If there are several windings with the desired power rating and the AGD is within acceptable limits, there is assurance the redesign will be successful. For our example, there are 16 windings rated at 125 HP and 10 of them are Marathon motors. So, in this example, it is likely original factory data is available. Of course, that is not always the case. Suppose our bare core is a Siemens motor, which is not listed. We can still select a different manufacturer winding as the basis for our bare cored design. Select one of the windings from the spreadsheet that matches the desired nameplate data as closely as possible. The full winding data will be displayed in an editor (Figure 3).

This original data record was in the database so no redesign was necessary; the bare core can be wound directly from the database record. Such is not always the case, and the EASA software has a function in MotorDb to transfer data from a MotorDb winding record to ACR for redesign. The Send to ACR function in MotorDb creates a new record in ACR where all the ACR redesign functions are available. Taking our example motor, suppose the desired winding is 575 Volts. MotorDb records are only 230 or 460 Volts.

Figure 4 illustrates a MotorDb record sent to ACR and the Volts redesigned from 460 Volts to 575 Volts. The winding is redesigned for 575 Volts and the connection was changed from 6Y to 3Y to keep the Volts per Coil within acceptable limits (Figure 5).

The combination of the EASA Winding Database and the Verification and Redesign program is an easy-to-use solution when presented with bare core winding challenges. For complete step-by-step instructions on bare core redesign, view the tutorial video How to calculate a winding from a bare core available at go.easa.com/wbc.

There are plenty of generic mobile device policies floating around the web. Sadly, many of them focus heavily and narrowly on the disadvantages of team members having personal devices at their workstations. Depending on the particular environment and tools used, it is both reasonable and responsible to evaluate the potential risks to safety and security. Too often, though, organizations take the path of excluding mobile devices from the work area because it’s easy rather than reaping the benefits they offer.

Existen muchas políticas genéricas sobre el uso de los dispositivos móviles flotando en internet. Lamentablemente, muchas de ellas se centran en gran medida y de forma limitada en las desventajas de que los empleados tengan dispositivos personales en sus estaciones de trabajo. Dependiendo del entorno particular y de las herramientas utilizadas, es razonable y responsable evaluar los riesgos potenciales para la seguridad y la protección. Sin embargo, con mucha frecuencia, las organizaciones toman el camino de excluir los dispositivos móviles del área de trabajo porque es una medida fácil, en lugar de aprovechar los beneficios que ofrecen.

Periódicamente, los miembros deberán actualizar los sistemas informáticos con el programa de software ACR instalado. El procedimiento para mover el programa a una nueva computadora depende de la versión instalada actualmente. A principios de 2022, se lanzó una actualización con una estructura de base de datos modificada, y la instalación de la actualización incluyó una reestructuración automática de las tablas de datos para el historial de motores rediseñados de los miembros. Por lo tanto, si la instalación actual de un miembro no se ha actualizado, el procedimiento para mover el programa a una nueva computadora incluirá la actualización y los cambios automáticos en la tabla de datos.

Al mover el programa a una nueva computadora en todos los casos, se recomienda descargar una nueva copia del archivo de instalación del programa desde el sitio web de EASA, easa.com. Los miembros deben iniciar sesión en su cuenta con sus credenciales de EASA y hacer clic en la pestaña My Account en la parte superior de la página. Luego, los miembros deben seleccionar el elemento Descargas en el medio de esa página. Se mostrará una lista de los productos descargables de EASA. Seleccione “AC Motor Verification & Redesign - Ver. 4 (Windows) - Download” de la lista. El archivo de instalación del programa se descargará en su computadora. Si el programa no está en la lista, comuníquese con nosotros con respecto a la compra del programa. La descarga del archivo de instalación del programa también se puede encontrar buscando "Update" en la página de inicio de EASA y seleccionando “Important Software Update” en los resultados. Por supuesto, debe iniciar sesión con sus credenciales de EASA.

En la nueva computadora, asegúrese de que los archivos del programa ACR, C:\Program Files\ MotorDB, no estén en el nuevo disco duro. (Es posible que el programa se haya movido de la computadora anterior si los archivos se transfirieron desde la antigua computadora). Los archivos de datos del programa se deben copiar de la computadora anterior al nuevo disco duro, así que mueva C:\Users\LoginName\Documents\carpeta EASA Winding Data al nuevo disco duro. Si esta carpeta no está en la computadora anterior, puede haber una versión muy antigua del programa con los archivos y datos del programa en la carpeta C:\ Users\LoginName\Documents\AcRedesign. En cualquier caso, copie la carpeta completa en el nuevo disco duro de la computadora en la misma ubicación. Con los archivos de datos del programa copiados en el nuevo disco duro, la nueva computadora está lista para la instalación del programa. Nota: Si no desea tener el historial de motores rediseñados de los miembros de EASA en la nueva computadora, simplemente omita la transferencia de los archivos de datos al nuevo disco duro.

El siguiente paso es ejecutar el programa de instalación que se descargó del sitio web de EASA; simplemente haga doble clic en el archivo para iniciar la instalación. El programa le solicitará el nombre de su empresa y su número de miembro de EASA. Por favor utilice su número de miembro de EASA. Se le pedirá sus “directories for databases”; se recomienda utilizar las ubicaciones predeterminadas. Póngase en contacto con el soporte técnico de EASA si es necesario utilizar ubicaciones alternativas del directorio de datos.

Además, en este cuadro de diálogo rápido hay una selección para “Start with no custom motors” o “Transfer existing motors from previous version". Si los archivos de datos han sido copiados desde la computadora anterior, seleccione “Transfer existing motors from previous version” y asegúrese de que el campo “previous ACR database” apunte a la ubicación correcta. Si la base de datos anterior es de una versión antigua aparecerá una pantalla de texto a medida que se copian y reestructuran los registros. La instalación debería entonces continuar; cuando se complete, aparecerá un mensaje con opciones para “Create a desktop icon” y “Run the EASA program”.

Si el programa no se ejecuta cuando finaliza la instalación, inícielo manualmente desde el icono o desde el menú del programa de Windows; habrá una carpeta EASA en el menú del programa de Windows. Cuando el programa arranca, buscará una conexión a Internet para verificar las actualizaciones y la base de datos. Si encuentra una conexión a Internet, el programa puede reiniciarse una o dos veces a medida que se instalan las actualizaciones; tenga paciencia, ya que esto puede demorar varios minutos según la velocidad de la conexión a Internet.

Cuando el programa haya terminado de instalar las actualizaciones, aparecerá la pantalla de bienvenida. Si sus usuarios no están familiarizados con el funcionamiento del programa, los tutoriales disponibles en la pantalla de bienvenida son un excelente recurso. Existen disponibles tutoriales para el funcionamiento básico del software, búsquedas en bases de datos de motores, uso de la cuadrícula de selección y para efectuar rediseños básicos. Incluso los usuarios experimentados pueden encontrar útiles estos tutoriales. Para acceder a las funciones del programa, cierre la pantalla de bienvenida haciendo clic en la X junto a Bienvenida en la pestaña de la parte superior.

Sugerencia: El programa incluye una base de datos de clientes para que cada motor rediseñado pueda etiquetarse con un cliente específico. Es útil si los clientes habituales se configuran con anticipación para que los usuarios puedan seleccionarlos de la lista en lugar de escribir el nombre del cliente cada vez que se use. Esto también ayuda a evitar que un cliente se ingrese varias veces con diferentes nombres. Seleccione el elemento Database->Custome del menú para acceder a la base de datos de clientes.

Si encuentra algún problema durante el proceso de instalación del programa, comuníquese con el Soporte técnico de EASA. Además, el programa tiene opciones para usar la base de datos local o en línea de bobinados de motores, que es diferente de la base de datos del historial de motores rediseñados de los miembros, y opciones para la transferencia automática de datos de motores rediseñados a EASA. Para obtener recomendaciones sobre cómo cambiar su configuración predeterminada, comuníquese con el Soporte técnico de EASA.

Periodically, members will need to update computer systems with EASA's AC Motor Verification & Redesign (ACR) software program installed. The procedure for moving the program to a new computer depends on the version of the currently installed program. Early in 2022, an update was released with a modified database structure, and installation of the update included an automatic restructuring of the data tables for members’ redesigned motor history. Therefore, if a member's current installation has not been updated, the procedure for moving the program to a new computer will include the update and automatic data table changes.

When moving the program to a new computer in all cases, it is recommended that a new copy of the program installation file be downloaded from the EASA website, easa.com. Members should log in to their website account with their EASA credentials and click the My Account tab at the top of the page. Members should then select the Downloads item in the middle of that page. A list of the EASA downloadable products will be displayed. Select “AC Motor Verification & Redesign - Ver. 4 (Windows) - Download” from the list. The program installation file will be downloaded to your computer. If the program is not listed, contact EASA Member Services regarding your purchase of the program. The download for the program installation file can also be found by searching for “Update” from the EASA home page and selecting “Important Software Update” from the results. Of course, you must be logged in with your EASA credentials.

On the new computer, be sure the ACR program files, C:\Program Files\MotorDB, are not on the new hard drive. (The program may have been moved from the old computer if files were transferred from the old computer.) The program data files should be copied from the old computer to the new hard drive, so move the C:\Users\LoginName\Documents\EASA Winding Data folder to the new hard drive. If this folder is not on the old computer, a very old version of the program may have the program data files in the C:\Users\LoginName\Documents\AcRedesign folder. In either case, copy the entire folder to the new computer hard drive in the same location. With the program data files copied to the new hard drive, the new computer is ready for the program installation. Note: If there is no desire to have the members’ redesigned motor history on the new computer, then simply skip transferring the data files to the new hard drive.

The next step is to run the install program that was downloaded from the EASA website; simply double-click the file to start the installation. The program will prompt for your Company Name and your EASA Member Number. Please use your EASA Company Member Number. You will be prompted for your “directories for databases”; it is recommended that the default locations be used. Please contact EASA Technical Support if there is a need to use alternate data directory locations.

Also, on this prompt dialogue there is a selection to “Start with no custom motors” or “Transfer existing motors from previous version.” If data files have been copied from the old computer, select “Transfer existing motors from previous version” and be sure the “previous ACR database” field points to the correct location. If the old database is from an older version, a text screen will display as the records are copied and restructured. The installation should then continue; when complete, a prompt will appear with options to “Create a desktop icon” and to “Run the EASA program.”

If the program does not run when the installation completes, start the program manually from the icon or from the Windows program menu; there will be an EASA folder in the Windows program menu. When the program initially starts, it will look for an internet connection to check for program and database updates. If an internet connection is found, the program may restart one or two times as updates are installed – be patient as this may take several minutes depending on internet connection speed.

When the program has finished installing updates, the Welcome screen will be displayed. If your users are not familiar with the program operation, the Tutorials available from the Welcome screen are an excellent resource to get them going. Tutorials for Basic Software Operation, Motor Database Searches, Using the Selection Grid and doing Bare Core Redesigns are available. Even experienced users may find these tutorials helpful. To access the program features, close the Welcome screen by clicking the X next to Welcome on the tab at the top.

Tip: The program includes a Customer database so that each redesigned motor can be tagged to a specific member Customer. It is helpful if frequently used Customers are set up ahead of time so that users can select them from the list rather than typing the Customer name each time. This also helps to prevent a Customer from being entered multiple times with various spellings. Select the Database->Customer item from the menu to access the Customer database.

If any problems are encountered during the program installation process, please contact EASA Technical Support for assistance. Also, the program has options for using the Online or Local Motor Winding Database, which is different from the members’ redesigned motor history database, and options for the automatic transfer of redesigned motor data to EASA. For recommendations on changing these from their default setting, contact EASA Technical Support.

In today’s world of electronic communication and banking, it’s always good to review cybersecurity reminders. Following are eight to keep in mind:

1. Update Your Software. Whether you are on iOS, Windows or Android, you need to make sure you have updated your operating system to include all the latest “fixes.”  This will protect you from the most common attacks and keep your system prepared to defend itself without your human input.
2. Two-Factor Identification. Any sensitive accounts, like banking, should force you to have two-factor identification already set up. This is the second set of credentials you need to change any password or even login.
3. Back Up Your Data.  This is not difficult in our world of cloud computing; you can have this set up to automatically back up in the background. Best practices are that your backup is not stored at your work site. Pay for cloud service with secure storage facilities. They will even have a backup of your backup.
4. No Public Wi-Fi.  While you think that a coffee shop’s free Wi-Fi is secure, or a random computer is willing to share internet access, don’t do it. 
5. Limit What You Share on Social Media. I know, we’re proud of our accomplishments. But there are entire businesses that scrape your public information and use it. We recently had to get rid of our “About” page on our business site, as criminals were scraping that information and trying to set up accounts in our business name by posing as customers and potential customers.
6. No Online Use of Debit Cards. While your debit card holding bank will tell you they are secure and will refund any fraud, read the customer agreement. Debit cards work too fast and immediately take money from your checking account; the dispute process is not resolved quickly. Credit cards are intentionally slow; disputes will put the burden on the merchant to prove payment legitimacy, and you have the benefit of keeping your money until resolution.
7. Suspicious Emails Are the Worst.  This could be its own subject as there are so many ways criminals are trying to get to us. Never download an attachment unless you are sure of the sender. Let’s review the most common scams:
   • Spoofing a Forged Email Address. It often looks like it’s from yourself, or a bank or any legitimate company. Upon review of the actual email address, it does not match its label. This will often get around your spam filter.
   • Phishing is Likely Combined on Top of Spoofing. Often it will look like a bank email but then “fish” for your information. It will ask you to use their link in the email to log-in to their website. Phishing emails can be “baited” as well. For example, fraud detected on your bank account, log-in here. Or a positive bait: confirm your reward, enter your information here. Don’t take the bait!
   • Smishing is the Same Thing as Above but Comes in a Text Message. This is phishing combined into a SMS text message, so the internet has crowned it Smishing. It works the same way. Set the bait (you’ve won something) and click here. Then the sender tries to reel you in.
8. Scan With an Anti-Virus Application. You may have caught a tracker or virus by accident.  If things aren’t behaving normally on your system, you can check it out. There is one big rule when it comes to anti-virus applications; you seek it out on your own.  There are many good apps that can help, but they never come to you;  you must go to their legitimate website and download.  Even if you’ve used their services before, never use an email link, ad or pop-up for anti-virus. See phishing above.

While these tips cannot protect you from all online threats, they are a great start. When in doubt, do your homework and due diligence. If you have any doubts about that email, just delete it. Happy computing.

El software AC Motor Verification & Redesign (ACR-Motor Db) es una poderosa herramienta que permite a los centros de servicio satisfacer las necesidades de rediseño de estatores y rotores bobinados de CA de sus clientes. En la mayoría de los casos, los datos del bobinado se registran al momento de retirar el alambre, pero surgen situaciones en las que los datos originales no están disponibles, han sido registrados de forma incorrecta o que un centro de servicio haya desmantelado el devanado sin terminar la reparación. En estos casos, el centro de servicio debe realizar un rediseño “sin datos”. La ACR-Motor Db cuenta con ciertas características específicas para solucionar estos casos.

CÓMO CALCULAR UN DEVANADO A PARTIR DE UN NÚCLEO DESNUDO

Durante varias décadas, la base de datos de bobinados del programa de EASA (MotorDb) ha compilado los datos enviados por los miembros de EASA. Con más de 300.000 registros, es muy probable que en la MotorDb existan datos similares a los que se buscan. Simplemente, realizando una búsqueda en la base de datos utilizando las dimensiones del núcleo se obtienen varios devanados que coinciden. Para que se pueda usar en un rediseño, un bobinado de la base de datos no tiene que coincidir exactamente con la placa de datos del motor.

Cuando seleccione los datos de un bobinado, estos se pueden transferir automáticamente al programa de Rediseño donde se podrán realizar las modificaciones y ajustes necesarios para alcanzar los criterios deseados. Este proceso es fácil para la mayoría de los motores trifásicos de inducción.

El primer paso consiste en obtener un listado de datos posibles que se correspondan muy de cerca con las dimensiones del núcleo. Ingrese el largo del núcleo, el diámetro interior del núcleo, el número de polos y el número de ranuras en la Motor Db. A manera de ejemplo buscaremos un motor Marathon, 125 hp, 6 polos, 72 ranuras con las siguientes medidas de núcleo: 12” de largo y 14” de diámetro interior (ver Figura 1). La función Get Count rápidamente devuelve los posibles resultados, si estos son 50 o menos haga click en OK para obtenerlos. Estos se verán en formato de hoja de cálculo donde se pueden revisar en forma de columnas. Si los datos son muchos, añada más criterios de búsqueda para depurar los resultados.

En este caso, se encontraron 44 registros tal como se puede ver en la Figura 2. Ya que la hoja de cálculo se puede revisar por columnas, es conveniente verificar la AirDensity (AGD) y la Potencia (Pwr) para evaluar si existen datos que sean buenos candidatos para garantizar un rediseño exitoso. Para nuestro ejemplo existen 16 datos y 10 de ellos son motores Marathon de 125 hp. Así que, para este ejemplo, es posible que haya datos de fábrica disponibles.

Por supuesto, este no siempre será el caso. Supongamos que el motor del ejemplo fuese marca Siemens, que no está en la lista. Aún podemos elegir un fabricante diferente como base para nuestro rediseño sin datos. Seleccione uno de los devanados de la hoja de datos que se acerquen mucho a los criterios de los datos de placa deseados. Los datos completos se pueden ver en un editor (Figura 3).

Los datos originales estaban en la base de datos así que no será necesario ningún rediseño ya que el motor se puede rebobinar usando directamente estos datos. Sin embrago, este no siempre es el caso y el software de EASA tiene una función en la MotorDb que permite transferir los datos a la función ACR la cual permite efectuar el rediseño. Los datos enviados a la función ACR crean un nuevo registro en el que todas las opciones de rediseño quedan disponibles. Retomando nuestro ejemplo, suponga que fuese necesario un rediseño para 575 V. Los datos disponibles en la MotorDb son solo para 230 o 460 V. La Figura 4 muestra un registro de la MotorDb enviado a la función ACR para poder realizar el rediseño de 460 a 575 V.

El bobinado fue rediseñado para 575 V y se cambió la conexión de 6 Y a 3 Y manteniendo los voltios por bobina dentro de los límites aceptables (Ver Figura 5).

La combinación entre la EASA Winding Database y el Verification and Redesign program es una solución sencilla para afrontar los retos de los bobinados sin alambre. Para ver las instrucciones paso a paso, vea el video tutorial, How to calculate a winding from a bare core disponible en go.easa.com/wbc.

Industry 4.0 and now Industry 5.0 gives us yet again new trends and interpretations of how the world will develop. Some call Industry 5.0 the revenge of the humans when they are taken into account.

The last couple of years, we have all heard a lot about digitalization, sensors, artificial intelligence, sustainability and machine learning. But what does it mean for us? In this article, I will focus on the sensors and how they are linked to the electromechanical industry.
