VFD MON Documentation

This is Varible Frequency Drive which is used for the monitoring the RPM and Ampere of the motor.

Block Icon

VFD MON has three parts first in motor and others two are DACA.

Motor :

When we click on the motor then motor faceplate open where we can see the details related to the motor.

The motor block icon provides a visual representation of the motor’s state using color-coded indicators. Each color or blinking combination signifies a specificoperating condition, helping operators quickly identify the motor's current status.

• 1 Tag Number: Displays the process tag.
• 2 Motor body: Displays information regarding the motor’s status and operation.
• 3 Moving Ring : Displays the direction of the motor(reverse or forward).

i. Red : Motor is ready to run.

ii. Green : Motor is running.

iii. Blinking Magenta and Red : Motor is Tripped.

iv. Blinking Yellow and Red : Permission not satisfied in Motor .

v. Blinking Blue and Red : Interlock occured in Motor .

vi. Green with yellow circle : Motor running with permission bypassed .

vii. Green with yellow Blue : Motor running with interlock bypassed .

Motor Faceplate

In the Motor REV faceplate, there are 4 tabs:

1. Operation Tab : For the operation of the motor.

2. Basic Tab : Displays basic feedback and operational summary.

3. Advance Tab : Advanced options for motor configuration and setup.

4. Diagnostics Tab : Shows all feedback and diagnostic parameters.

Operator Tab Description

Operating Mode:

• AUTO – Enables automatic mode (commands from logic or PLC).
• MAN – Enables manual mode (commands via HMI).
• The currently selected mode is highlighted in green.

Control Command:

• START FWD(forward) – Sends command to start the motor in Clockwise direction which can be seen in block icon.
• START REV(reverse) – Sends command to start the motor in anticlockwsie direction which can be seen in block icon.
• STOP – Sends command to stop the motor.
• These buttons are only active in manual mode.

Feedbacks:

Feedback	Description	Status Indicator
INTL	Interlock conditions are valid	🟢 = OK 🟡 = Interlock Occurred
PERM FWD	Start motor in clockwise permission	🟢 = OK 🟡 = Permission Not Satisfied
PERM REV	Start motor in anticlock permission	🟢 = OK 🟡 = Permission Not Satisfied
Trip Feedback	Indicates motor fault or trip condition.	=TRIP OK = TRIP

Motor Status:

• This field displays the current state of the motor.
• Status example in image: Ready_MAN
  > Meaning: Motor is ready and in manual mode.

Basic Tab Description

Feedbacks:

Label	Description	Example Shown
Operating Mode	Displays the current control mode of the motor.	MANUAL OR AUTO
RL_Selection	Shows the remote/local control selection.	LOCAL OR REMOTE
Interlock	Indicates whether all interlocks are satisfied.	🟢 = OK 🟡 = Interlock Occurred
Permissive FWD	Shows if permissive conditions are met for motor start in clockwise direction.	🟢 = OK 🟡 = Permission Not Satisfied
Permissive REV	Shows if permissive conditions are met for motor start in anticlockwise direction.	🟢 = OK 🟡 = Permission Not Satisfied
Trip Feedback	Indicates motor fault or trip condition.	= TRIP OK = TRIP
Run FB FWD	Shows whether the motor is currently running in clockwise direction.	🟢 = Running 🔴 = Not Running
Run FB REV	Shows whether the motor is currently running in anticlockwise direction.	🟢 = Running 🔴 = Not Running

Operational Summary:

• RUN TIME – Total Motor Run time.

Advance Tab Description

Motor Contol Parameter:

• MTM - This is the time(sec) upto which motor wait for the run feedback otherwise goes in fault.

Operational Summary:

• RUN TIME – Total Motor Run time.

Motor REV Diagnotics Tab

Diagnotics parameter

• Permissive FWD – green color when permission FWD is OK and yellow color when permission FWD not satisfy.
• Permissive REV – green color when permission REV is OK and yellow color when permission REV not satisfy.
• Interlock – green color when Interlock is OK and yellow color when Interlock occurs.
• Trip – green color when Trip is OK and magenta color when Trip occurs.
• Perm FWD – click on checkbox to bypass the permission for clockwise direction.
• Perm REV – click on checkbox to bypass the permission for anticlockwise direction.
• Interlock – click on checkbox to bypass the interlock.

RPM:

It shows the current RPM of motor. When we click on this it open a DACA faceplate.

AMP:

It shows the ampere of the motor. When we click on this it open a DACA faceplate.

The DACA block icon is dynamic, meaning the color of the icon changes when different alarms are activated:

1. Low/High Alarm Activation:
   • Upon activation of the low or high alarm, the display color will change.
   • The icon image will start blinking to indicate alert status.
   • After acknowledging the very high or very low alarm, the blinking stops, and the display returns to the standard visual.

1. Very Low/Very High Alarm Activation:

   • Upon activation of the very low or very high alarm, the display color will change.
   • The icon image will start blinking to indicate alert status.
   • After acknowledging the high or low alarm, the blinking stops, and the display returns to normal.
