Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03055030A1] The invention relates to a method for generating an alarm signal in a motor which comprises a rotor (50) whose effective operating speed is in a standard zone (nSoll, TSoll) and can deviate from said standard zone if defective, and is to be monitored for such a defective state. At least one alarm trigger speed (nAOn, TAOn) and at least one alarm switch-off speed (nAOff, TAOff) are determined, the latter being closer to the standard zone than the first. A hysteresis zone is defined between an associated pair of alarm trigger speed and alarm switch-off speed. If the speed to be monitored, starting from the hysteresis zone, approaches the alarm trigger speed, an alarm trigger criterion (Flag_DIR=0) is generated (Fig. 13: S178). The duration of said alarm trigger criterion is monitored (Fig. 13: S184, 192). When the duration reaches a predetermined value (tdOn), an alarm signal (ALARM) is activated (Fig. 13: S186, 194). The invention also relates to a corresponding motor.
