Two technicians are replacing an induction motor on a water pump into the fermentation vats in Elsinor brewery. The old American motor was rated at 240 vac, 60 Hz,6 HP,1800 rpm. The new European motor is rated at 240 vac, 50 Hz,6 HP,1800 rpm.
Bob says that the new motor will rotate at a faster speed that the old motor, filling the vat faster, so the motor-on time in the PLC needs to be reduced.
Doug says that both motors are rated 1800 rpm, so the PLC program does not need changing.
