1. Smart Motor Management
How data-driven visibility can help
protect both processes and motors
in key industrial applications
This presentation illustrates how the Siemens TIA and TIP architecture and key components has increased a facility’s uptime.
This was accomplished by
Reducing or eliminating downtime and it’s associated costs due to early detection before a failure or extensive diagnostics after the failure occurs.
Reducing downtime and the associated costs for planned maintenance programs were also reduced. The system accurately identifies worn or failing components through remote monitoring so that only components requiring replacement are replaced.

2. When the overload trips …. what happens to the process??
Smart Motor Management vs. Traditional Maintenance “Wait ‘til it trips”
Traditional motor control circuits use thermal, or electronic, overload relays to protect electric motors from the effects of heat generated from mechanical or electrical overload conditions.
When the overload trips ….
what happens to the process??
This presentation is to showcase a facility wide control system for Vulcan Materials Company, designed and installed by Brozelco using primarily Siemens Automation and Controls products.
The site is located in Columbia, TN. which is just outside of Nashville.
The plant has now been in operation for approximately 1.5 years and has a staff of approximately xx employees.
When the overload relay detects an overload condition of sufficient magnitude and duration, a normally closed contact on the overload relay opens, turning the protected motor off.

3. When the overload trips ….
Smart Motor Management vs. Traditional Maintenance “Wait ‘til it trips”
When the overload trips ….
Was it caused by a mechanical load problem? (bearing, poor maintenance, etc.)
Was it caused by a motor problem?
Was it caused by an electrical power problem?
What was happening when the motor tripped?

Smart Motor Management vs. Traditional Maintenance “Wait ‘til it trips” or Preventive Maintenance
Traditional motor maintenance relies on traditional motor protection devices.
Thermal overloads (bimetallic) and basic electronic overloads (ESP200) provide limited protective functions. The additional protective functions on ESP200 do not annunciate the reason for the trip.
