Acronyms for motor control

Acronyms for motor control

Acronyms for motor control

(OP)
Hi,
In our project the acronyms used on P&ID for motor controls are:
XGM
XSR: run status
XCR: start stop command
XA: common trouble alarm
XA: L/R status
I found these acronyms in "instrumentation handbook" but there is no explanation for them. Can anyone please explain them for me?
Thanks

RE: Acronyms for motor control

Hi,

I guess:
 - XGM repesent the motor

 - The rest is self explanatory.

 - "L/R status" means Locked Rotor.It comes probably from the motor protection relay. Basically it means that your motor did not reach full speed in the allowed time.It's a protection.


Hope it helps you a bit.


 

RE: Acronyms for motor control

L/R is equally likely to mean local / remote. Perhaps not so self-explanatory.

RE: Acronyms for motor control

These most likely relate to ISA standard notation. P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) are typically instrumentation centered.

If there is motor control referenced on it, it is typically only as it relates to an instrumentation / SCADA or DCS system.
