5 Baker AWA-IV software overview
The Baker AWA-IV software automatically performs pre-configured tests on pre-configured
motors. Pre-configured tests are identified by Test IDs. Pre-configured motors are identified
by Motor IDs.
Motor IDs are stored in the Baker AWA-IV’s database along with the Test ID to be used when
testing that motor. Additional information about the motor such as manufacturer, serial
number, horsepower rating, frame size, speed, operating voltage, and current are also stored
in the Motor ID. New motors can be entered into the database or existing motors can be
edited, corrected, or updated.
The Test ID consists of all test parameters to be used when performing tests on a motor.
Details such as test-voltages, pass or fail criteria, and test times are contained in a Test ID.
You name and define Test IDs.
The software includes predefined Test IDs for several different machines. Usually, the most
important parts of a Test ID are the test voltages. Therefore, a Test ID is often named after
the operating voltage of the motor. Several motors can share a single Test ID. For example,
all 480-volt motors can use the same Test ID.
