How to get into Motor Factory ?

1. Introduction

Two ways are possible to get into Motor Factory:

From the supervisor, select the type of motor you want to design
From the “Motor Catalog”, by editing a selected motor in a catalog


Create a new motor or open one of the most recently used motors
1	Get into Motor Factory for designing and testing a new motor. Create a new motor in Motor Factory by selecting a type of motor you need to design 8 types of motor are currently available: SM_PM_IR_3PH: 3-Phase - 3-Phase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets - Inner Rotor SM_PM_OR_3PH: 3-Phase - 3-Phase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets - Outer Rotor SM_PM_IR_3PH: n-Phase - Polyphase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets - Inner Rotor SM_PM_IR_3PH: n-Phase - Polyphase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets - Outer Rotor SM_RSM_IR_3PH: 3-Phase Reluctance Synchronous Machine - Inner Rotor SM_WF_ISP_IR_3PH: 3-Phase Wound Field Synchronous Machine - Inner Salient Pole - Inner Rotor IM_SQ_IR_3PH: 3-Phase Induction Machine with SQuirrel cage - Inner Rotor IM_SQ_OR_3PH: 3-Phase Induction Machine with SQuirrel cage - Outer Rotor · ·· ·
2	Choose a motor among a list of most recently used motors and get into Motor Factory. The number of most recently used motors available are defined with the user preferences.See section “User preferences” in the supervisor user guide.
3	Refer to catalogs, compare and choose a motor already designed.

2. Get into Motor Factory for designing and testing a new motor

From supervisor, clicking on a motor from the “New motor” section or from the “Recent motors” section opens directly Motor Factory environment.

Structural data (outer and inner diameters, number of poles, number of slots, etc. must be defined from the sub area “Topology” when designing a new machine.

Definition of the machine structural data in Topology area

3. Edit a motor from Motor Catalog

For additional information, please see “Motor Catalog” application.

	1	Select a motor from the main area of Motor Catalog.
	2	“Edit” the selected motor in Motor Factory.

	1	From the comparator area Add the motors to be compared and select the motor.
	2	“Edit” the selected motor in Motor Factory.
