Relay/Monitor helps predict motor failure.October 8, 2007 -
Designed to work as overload relay and motor system monitor, MOTOR+MEDIC provides diagnostic information needed to recognize impending motor failure or conditions that will lead to motor failure if not resolved. Included software suite allows user to sample motor's health on steady or periodic basis. In addition to low and high voltage, MOTOR+MEDIC protects 3-phase motors from low and high current, current and voltage imbalance, and ground fault.

FCI "MOTOR+MEDIC"
Now, the saying goes..."there are two things in life that are certain...death and taxes". Well, in the Automation world, there is one more... "motor-failure". No matter what kind, size, or shape of the motor, there is always the risk of a potential motor failure. In a perfect world, one would like to be able to predict when a motor is going to fail, but we all know that is impossible. Until now....
I'd like to introduce you to the FCI "MOTOR+MEDIC". The MOTOR+MEDIC provides you with the diagnostic information you need to recognize an impending motor
failure, or the conditions, if not resolved, will lead to a motor failure. The MOTOR+MEDIC not only works as an over-load relay, but also as a motor system monitor. The MOTOR+MEDIC allows you to view of the inner workings of your motor and lets you choose which parameters you want to control and monitor.
The MOTOR+MEDIC is equipped with a software suite that allows you to sample your motor's health on a steady or periodic basis. Allowing you to view trend data and alarm data over time are just two of the benefits this product offers. The MOTOR+MEDIC protects your 3-phase motor from low and high voltage, low and high current, current and voltage imbalance, ground fault and more. It provides over-load restart, under-load restart, and is a UL/CSA approved over-load.
Here are some additional features:
o Fully programmable
o RS-485 communications port
o Network programmable
o Remote set-up, diagnostics, and controls
o Remote data logging
o Remote start and stop
