Troubleshooting - Motor Controls

[@freddiestewart9233]

Thanks for this informative video. I wish I would have had you for a Professor. Awesome lecture and I can tell you are a great Teacher/Instructor!

i'm in a motor an motor controls class now an this is definitely helping gonna watch whole playlist

Hello sir, please upload some more troubleshooting videos, your videos and techniques are really very helpful for me.

System knowledge and all your fundamental principles is what makes or breaks anyone in troubleshooting. You can have 1 symptom that cam be caused by 1of 5 possible issues and it's up to the individual to know how to test and narrow it down . Great video and very well explained .

What you said is 100% true! A problem that I've seen at schools is the lack of training when it comes to troubleshooting/critical thinking. All they want to do is teach people how things work and never bring up the idea of troubleshooting or that things break. I plan to do about 6 or 7 more short videos that explain more troubleshooting procedures or just help students get into the mindset! Glad you liked it! I was nervous to make this video.

@@Mikesfilmss We're in two different fields , I'm an automotive tech that specializes in electrical and electronics diagnostics . But during my years I've learned as much as I could about electrical in every industry and application as its really all the same just package differently. You call it a PLC . To me it's a PCM (power train control module) , but they do same thing which is operate in a closed loop by receiving data via inputs processing that data and based on a rewritten line of code executes an output by means of control . The difference is in my world of an input becomes skewed or out of the loop and it isn't a vital input it can be ignored and substituted by "guessing " what it would be reporting by looking at other inputs . The ideas is the same , approach every issue with an open mind and never jump to conclusions . Even if you seen this same problem on the same year make and model yesterday that doesn't mean it's being caused by the same fault so still diagnose it and not just be fast to pull the trigger . It may allow you to diagnose it faster but still eliminate any and all variables . Know your equipment and use it every time even if you don't really need to still use it to keep sharp and never be afraid to learn new equipment. About 5 years ago I started to learn how to use Oscilloscopes in my diagnostics along with several accessories and man my life hasn't been the same .. The small learning curve and some basic classes and it made my job way easier and faster especially CAN bus network issues . And most importantly never ever stop being hungry for knowledge because the day I know it all is the day I quit because if I have nothing new to learn where's the sense of challenges and accomplishment? .. Looking forward to more videos .

@@markhb3346 Thanks for the input! I will probably have to start looking into things like that!

My procedure would go. Press start, observe what happens. Does the motor hum but not move? Depending on what I see, push start again and take a reading at the motor leads if they are easily accessible. Do you get voltage? If so you know there isnt an open, but maybe a device or contact is faulty. If the leads aren't easy to get to go to the closet point to the leads that you can. Is there a voltage? If so, is the motor seized? Does it trip the breaker? Disconnect the motor leads as that is the most likely cause of a fault, bad winding, perhaps? Press the button again. Does the breaker stay closed? Bad motor, ohm it out fix it, or swap it. Basically, you want to work backwards mostly checking voltage. Some people like using continuity but that in my opinion should only be used to ohm out coils and such not to check for opens, faults maybe, and always remember when you use continuity to turn the power off, and also isolate whatever you are measuring so you don't get backfeeds and thus false readings. Rambling over. Good video Happy troubleshooting guys!😊

[@Mikesfilmss]

Great recommendations. I need to make more training videos like this that show the whole picture.

I NEED YOUR GUYS HELP I DONT KNOW SHIT BOUT THIS BUT IM ALL JOB HAS TO FIX OUR machine !!! HELPPP

Absolutely Well done. This is an excellent way to outline the basics of troubleshooting and adopt the correct attitude to getting it done the correct way. Thanks for the Sharing.
