Induction motors are among the most important components of modern machinery and industrial equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fault diagnosis system that detects the operating conditions of and faults in induction motors early. This paper presents an induction motor fault diagnosis system based on a CNN (convolutional neural network) model. In the proposed method, vibration signal data are obtained from the induction motor experimental environment, and these values are input into the CNN. Then, the CNN performs fault diagnosis. In this study, fault diagnosis of an induction motor is performed in three states, namely, normal, rotor fault, and bearing fault. In addition, a GUI (graphical user interface) for the proposed fault diagnosis system is presented. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method is suitable for diagnosing rotor and bearing faults of induction motors.

This paper proposes an online fault diagnosis system for induction motors through the combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT), feature extraction, genetic algorithm (GA), and neural network (ANN) techniques. The wavelet transform improves the signal-to-noise ratio during a preprocessing. Features are extracted from motor stator current, while reducing data transfers and making online application available. GA is used to select the most significant features from the whole feature database and optimize the ANN structure parameter. Optimized ANN is trained and tested by the selected features of the measurement data of stator current. The combination of advanced techniques reduces the learning time and increases the diagnosis accuracy. The efficiency of the proposed system is demonstrated through motor faults of electrical and mechanical origins on the induction motors. The results of the test indicate that the proposed system is promising for the real-time application.

In this paper, the idea of using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the detection and classification of induction motor stator winding faults is presented. The diagnosis inference of the stator inter-turn short-circuits is based on raw stator current data. It offers the possibility of using the diagnostic signal direct processing, which could replace well known analytical methods. Tests were carried out for various levels of stator failures. In order to assess the sensitivity of the applied CNN-based detector to motor operating conditions, the tests were carried out for variable load torques and for different values of supply voltage frequency. Experimental tests were conducted on a specially designed setup with the 3 kW induction motor of special construction, which allowed for the physical modelling of inter-turn short-circuits in each of the three phases of the machine. The on-line tests prove the possibility of using CNN in the real-time diagnostic system with the high accuracy of incipient stator winding fault detection and classification. The impact of the developed CNN structure and training method parameters on the fault diagnosis accuracy has also been tested.

Rolling bearing plays an important role in rotary machines and industrial processes. Effective fault diagnosis technology for rolling bearing directly affects the life and operator safety of the devices. In this paper, a fault diagnosis method based on tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT) and convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to reduce the influence of noise on bearing vibration signal and the dependence on the experience of traditional diagnosis methods. TQWT is used to decompose and denoise the vibration signal, while the CNN is adopted to extract fault features and carry out fault classification. Seven motor operating conditions—normal, drive end rolling ball failure (DE-B), drive end inner raceway failure (DE-IR), drive end outer raceway failure (DE-OR), fan end rolling ball failure (FE-B), fan end inner raceway fault (FE-IR) and fan end outer raceway fault (FE-OR)—are used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results indicate that the fault diagnosis accuracy of the proposed method reaches 99.8%.

Gear transmission is widely used in mechanical equipment. In practice, if the gearbox is damaged, it not only affects the yield rate but also damages other parts of machines; thus, increases the cost and difficulty of maintenance. With the advancement of technology, the concept of unmanned factories has been proposed; an automatic diagnosis system for the health management of gearboxes becomes necessary. In this paper, a compound fault diagnosis system for the gearbox based on convolutional neural network (CNN) is developed. Specifically, three-axis vibration signals measured by accelerometers are used as the input of the one-dimensional CNN; the detection of the existence and type of the fault is directly output. In testing, the model achieved nearly 100% accuracy on the fault samples we captured. Experimental evidence also shows that the frequency-domain data can provide better diagnostic results than the time-domain data due to the stable characteristics in the frequency spectrum. For practical usage, we demonstrated a remote fault diagnosis system through a local area network on an embedded platform. Furthermore, optimization of convolution kernels was also investigated. When moderately reducing the number of convolution kernels, it does not affect the diagnostic accuracy but greatly reduces the training time of the model.
