TIC Description

Definition

M

Motor refers to the component responsible for the motion for an equipment. It consumes energy (in whatever format = fuel, electric energy, hydraulics, ..) and converts it into motion.

 

Further Detail

O

It is an energy consumer that transforms available energy into kinetic output, either:

  • linear motion (forward / backward)

  • rotational motion (torque-driven movement)

The motor is a component of the Energy Supply and may be implemented in different technologies depending on the equipment design and energy architecture, including:

  • electric motors (traction, hoist, auxiliary)

  • combustion-driven motors

  • hydraulic motors / actuators

Motors can be dedicated to different functions within the same equipment, for example:

  • traction motor(s) to move the equipment

  • hoisting / lifting motor(s) to perform handling movements

  • auxiliary motors (e.g., pumps, fans, compressors)

The Motor status and performance may be monitored to support operational readiness and efficiency assessment (e.g., whether motion is enabled, commanded, available, or limited).

 

Functional Boundary

The Motor boundary is required to clearly isolate motion production as a distinct function.

Without this boundary, conversion units or storage systems might be interpreted as motion-producing elements.

Motor is limited to transforming usable energy into mechanical motion.

It:

  • Does not originate energy

  • Does not store energy

  • Does not convert energy for distribution

  • Does not distribute energy

This boundary ensures Motor only answers:

Where does motion occur?

Example

M

The hoist motor is operating at 50 meter per minute:

che|@|hoist|@|motor|@|running|#unit#meter_per_minute|value = 50
