A startup failure detection system provides an indication of motor startup failure based on a flux amplitude signal value. The flux amplitude signal is derived from motor flux estimations in combination with a rotor angle estimation. The flux amplitude signal value is compared to an upper and lower threshold value, and a startup failure is indicated if the flux amplitude signal value is outside the range determined by the upper and lower threshold value. The motor drive system can be set to attempt a restart when a motor drive startup failure is detected, with the retrial current, duration and the total number of retrials being user selectable.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related generally to sensorless synchronous motor drives, and more particularly to drives with startup failure detection.
2. Description of Related Art
Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are widely used as electric motors because of the development of high quality power electronics and powerful signal processing microprocessors. PMSM devices are typically cheaper than DC machines and can have higher performance characteristics than DC machines. PMSM devices are also attractive of their high efficiency, low maintenance costs and high torque output for a given size dimension.
The operation of a PMSM typically calls for synchronization of the rotor angle of the motor to obtain the desired output characteristics. Prior PMSMs included position sensors, such as encoders or resolvers to contribute to synchronizing the phase excitation with the rotor position. However, the presence of an encoder or resolver in many applications and environments has several drawbacks, including cost, reliability, machine dimensions and noise immunity.
A variety of techniques to detect rotor position in PMSM motors have been developed to obtain a sensorless rotor position feedback that permit the elimination of position sensors. In some cases, the sensorless rotor position detection techniques focus on the rotor saliency and local saturation of motor coils. These types of systems have internal permanent magnets for which saliency is readily measured. Rotor saliency can also be detected by injecting a high frequency sinusoidal voltage or other disturbance that is responsive to the position of the permanent magnet in relation to the motor coils. However, signal injection produces other problems related to efficiency or audible noise.
Other types of machine systems with minimal saliency like surface mounted PM motors, use back EMF to sense rotor angle. Back EMF is also observed to extract information to estimate flux in the motor coils.
Back EMF sensorless techniques for the sensorless control of a PMSM motor present difficulties at start up and during operation at low speeds. Although rotor position may be detected using the above techniques, even when the rotor is at a standstill, controlling a PMSM motor with a surface mounted PM at startup presents problems because no saliency measurement is readily available.
During a sensorless motor drive startup, motor torque is developed to overcome drive stiction and friction to rotate and accelerate the rotor. Motor shaft stiction and friction may vary dramatically dependent upon the applied load characteristics. For example, the stiction of an outdoor pump exposed to low temperatures may increase dramatically from a nominal value. In some instances, the motor shaft may be partially jammed, which can prevent motor startup rotation. In such a case, startup failure may occur, meaning that the drive torque per ampere ratio decreases dramatically and the motor is unable to accelerate. In addition, because of the difficulties with detecting rotor position in a sensorless drive at zero or low speed, the motor speed information may not be as accurate.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method for quickly determining a startup failure condition in a PMSM motor. A motor flux range is provided for determining a successful startup so that a startup failure with a flux level outside of the range can be detected. The motor flux range can be adjusted depending upon the application. During a normal start up, the motor flux builds up and stays within a certain prescribed range. The motor flux level is extracted from a sensorless PMSM drive for comparison with the range to determine whether a startup failure has occurred.
According to another feature of the present invention, an automatic restart sequence is provided when a startup failure is detected. Upon detection of a startup failure, the PMSM motor drive initializes and enters a restart cycle. In accordance with the present invention, the PMSM drive can be configured for a particular number of startup retries, with selectable restarting torque for the startup retry attempts.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, the startup failure detection is provided as an addition to a rotor angle estimator circuit, such as that described in copending application Ser. No. 10/294,201, filed Nov. 12, 2002 entitled ROTOR ANGLE ESTIMATION FOR PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR DRIVE (IR-2130). The startup failure detector obtains an input flux amplitude from an output of a vector rotator in the rotor angle estimator and compares the flux amplitude to a high and low threshold value to determine if the flux amplitude is within an appropriate range. If the flux amplitude from the rotor angle estimator is out of range, a start failure condition is indicated and the drive is set to a default sequence to turn off the motor control signals, and, if desired, restart the startup sequence with increased startup current (configurable).
For a successful startup, the motor flux level should stay within a certain band limit. If motor flux is out of the band limit, a startup failure can be detected. Upon detection of this startup failure, the drive will reinitialize and enter a restart cycle. The drive can be configured for a variable number of startup retries and variable values for the restarting torque of the startup retries. The motor flux level can be easily extracted from the sensorless control drive as described in application Ser. No. 10/294,201 (IR2130), previously mentioned.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the invention, which refers to the accompanying drawings.

The flux amplitude supplied by output D from vector rotator block 22 is applied to an input of comparators 35, 36 to determine whether the flux amplitude signal falls within a given range. The flux amplitude signal is preferably compared to a high threshold FLXHITHR and a lower threshold FLXLOTHR in parallel to determine at once whether the flux amplitude is within the range specified by thresholds FLXHITHR and FLXLOTHR. The thresholds FLXHITHR and FLXLOTHR are applied to the respective comparator inputs of comparators 35, 36, along with the flux amplitude signal. A result of the comparison is provided on an output of comparators 35, 36. If the flux amplitude is below the upper threshold FLXHITHR, the output of comparator 35 is a logic zero, or low level. If the flux amplitude is greater than the lower threshold FLXLOTHR, the output of comparator 36 is a logic zero or low level as well. In a normal startup sequence, the outputs of comparators 35, 36 are both zero and no startup failure detection indication is produced. The comparison is performed after certain time interval (configurable) has elapsed. This is done to ensure sufficient time for normal flux build-up.
If the flux amplitude is above the high threshold FLXHITHR the output of comparator 35 is set to a logic "1", or high level, to indicate that the flux amplitude is out of the bounds of the high flux threshold. If the flux amplitude is below the lower threshold FLXLOTHR, the output of comparator 36 is set to a logic "1", or high level, to indicate the flux amplitude is out of bounds of the low flux threshold. If either of the outputs of comparators 35, 36 produces a logic "1", or high level, a startup failure detection is indicated.

A number of variations are possible in realizing the present invention, including varying the number of automatic restart attempts, varying the delay time between the restart attempts, varying the power supply to the motor during a restart attempt, and so forth. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, once a startup failure is detected, the next automatic restart can apply a higher startup current level to the motor in an attempt to free the blocked shaft. The amount of current and the period of time over which it is applied can be configured, depending upon application and environment, for instance, to attempt to restore motor shaft operation.
For example, the flux amplitude parameters may change over time as the motor drive system ages or deteriorates due to environmental conditions, or is subjected to high loading or harsh environments. The startup current limit thresholds may be varied to adapt to the motor drive system as it ages so that startup failure detection in the motor drive system can continue to operate consistently.
Furthermore, upon restart, the pulses, or more specifically, the retrial energy which may have any waveform, supplied to the motor can be varied in a number of different configurations. The number of restart pulses or retries may be varied, for example, so that three restarts may be attempted before a startup failure is observed. The period of time between pulses may also be varied, for example longer or shorter intervals may be used between restart attempts. The duration of the pulses or retries may be varied, so that longer or shorter pulses are applied to the motor to provide more or less current and torque.
In another variation of the present invention, the high and low threshold values can be preset in hardware, or programmable. For example, if a motor is used in different applications, or is subject to varying conditions for startup, a selectable set of threshold values can be provided to the comparators, based on manual settings or automatic sensing.
Although the present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments thereof, many other variations and modifications and other uses will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is preferred, therefore, that the present invention be limited not by the specific disclosure herein, but only by the appended claims.

Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall '13
In the CRM Online December 2012 release, you may have noticed the social pane which was introduced to enhance business interactions. The social pane is where you can see all business interactions related to that a specific record (account, contact, lead, and so on.) It shows the activity feeds, associated activities, notes and Yammer (if configured) tabs. For more information, you can read more about it in this blog post: New simplified experience to view and associate activities.
You might have different requirements for different entity types. For some you might want Activities to show as the default tab, while in others notes, activity feeds or Yammer could be more important. With the release of CRM 2013, we have added customization capabilities. Now you will be able to set the default tab for each form. Whenever the form is launched, that tab will be shown as default. You have the option to choose the default tab for a particular form using the form editor. In this blog, we are going to discuss more on how to achieve this.
Using form customization enables you to prioritize what data you want to see first. To customize the social pane, you can go to the form for the entity. Click on "Social Pane" and then click on "Change properties" to open up the properties for the social pane.
Once you have opened up properties, you will notice a new option at the bottom of the window, which allows you to select the default tab for the "Social Pane". You can select any of these options and the specified tab will be opened by default, when the entity form loads up. The default tab is per form and you can specify a different default for each entity using configuration.
One thing to note here is we can set the default tab for the social pane and by default that tab will load. But, the ordering will always be the same and it will not change according to this setting.
For more information on customizing forms, see the Customization Guide, found within the Implementation Guide download.
Hoping this helps!
Many people don't like notes (they don't roll-up, don't copy from Lead to Opportunity and are hard to report on). They don't want users to see this Tab - how can we turn it off?
This will be a nice feature, thank you.
I don't like notes either. To many of our users use the notes ability to put in ALL kinds of information that their is a field they could use.
Is there a way to turn that section off?

Thirty teams, 30 burning fantasy questions. Throughout the preseason, we put one of these questions to an ESPN.com analyst for an in-depth look at the most interesting, perplexing or dumbfounding fantasy facet of each major league team.
Which Brett Myers will show up this season?
It's easy to understand why Brett Myers doesn't seem to be getting much love in fantasy this spring, being taken in the 18th round, on average, of ESPN live drafts. Just look at his wacky numbers the past two seasons, and all the ambivalence in selecting him makes a lot more sense. Try finding another starting pitcher with his sort of career trajectory. It's not easy.
Myers once was reliable, then had a pair of brutal Aprils, forcing him to be a closer in 2007 and a minor league pitcher for a short spell the next. Each season, his ERA finished well above the 4.00 mark. Thus, it's tough to make the argument that this is someone fantasy owners can count on as a No. 3 or 4 fantasy starting pitcher.
Of course, that won't stop me from making said argument. I look at what Myers did PC (pre-closing) and what he did PD (post-demotion), and I see a strikeout-capable starting pitcher who still has growth left in him. Oh, and did I mention this is a contract year for him?
The issue of Myers' importance to the Phillies has been discussed often this spring, as the team makes it clear he's their No. 2 starter, and nowhere near moving to a bullpen or some minor league town anytime soon. In fact, staff ace Cole Hamels eagerly endorsed Myers as his possible replacement for the team's season opener April 5 against the Braves. That would mark Myers' third consecutive Opening Day assignment, by the way. Hamels has never gotten that call, although he would have this year if he didn't have a slight injury setback this spring. The Phillies have no concern about Myers anchoring the staff again, and he has performed at a high level much of the spring.
Meanwhile Myers, perfectly healthy, is aware of just how crazy the past two campaigns have been, and now he views 2009 as a chance to reestablish himself as an ace-type starter. Myers has never actually delivered ace-type numbers; he has disappointed fantasy owners before, and thus they are a bit gun-shy. For example, Myers has never won more than 14 games in a season, and his best ERA for a season is 3.72. He has managed to reach 200 big-league innings just once, and his career WHIP is 1.35. Using just that information, he does appear average.
But the Myers who dominated much of July, August and September last season wasn't average at all. In fact, while everyone gushed about how CC Sabathia carried the Milwaukee Brewers to the playoffs, Myers was no less critical to the Phillies' plight, or less dominant. Until getting shelled in his final two outings, Myers matched Sabathia start for start; over a 10-start span, he allowed 13 earned runs in 75 innings, a 1.56 ERA. He fanned 10 Mets in one game, then tossed a complete-game two-hitter against the Brewers. Casual fantasy owners can see he improved after being recalled, with a 3.06 post-break ERA, but Myers was far better than even those numbers suggest.
Just seems that some potentially dominant pitchers flick a switch and realize it's time to end all the inconsistency that has defined them. Myers came to camp at least 20 pounds lighter, according to reports, and in the best shape of his career, and he's seemingly on a mission to make believers out of those who continue to knock him. He's ready to prove he can finally be that dominant starting pitcher we expected him to be, and ready to grow into the role mentally.
People who analyze baseball can look at the same player's statistics and talent and deduce totally different things. When I see Myers, I see someone who was always on the verge of taking that next step to being a reliable starting pitcher. He has the ability to strike out 200 hitters, win 15 games, keep his ERA in the low 3s it's all there. This really could be his best season if, as Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee says, Myers doesn't fluctuate from start to start. Predicting all those things to suddenly happen in 2009 might be asking for too much, but then again, avoiding him in drafts based on numbers that can be interpreted so many different ways is a sketchy way to evaluate.
Yes, owning Myers has been a roller-coaster ride since he averaged 12.5 wins, 199 strikeouts and a 3.80 ERA during 2005-06. Those numbers hardly scream "ace," so don't view him that way, but we do project him for 174 strikeouts. Think about where Myers was being drafted heading into 2007. He was just outside the top 20 of starting pitchers. He didn't end up starting very often, as the Phillies had a distinct need for someone to save games and Myers effectively answered the call. Now the Phillies have a need for Myers to pitch 200 strong innings, take some pressure off Hamels and get back on the path it appeared the right-hander was on.
Fantasy owners can learn from how a team treats one of its own, as Myers started Game 2 of each of the three playoff series in the fall of 2008. No, he wasn't the staff ace, but he was close. And that is how I choose to evaluate Myers heading into 2009.

Kenneth Clark DUKE UNIVERSITY
Recently a Christian leader undertook to answer the question, "What is a . . . bishop?" In his answer he stated, "He is not a 'holy man' in the accepted meaning of the term."1 It may not be clear how the term is accepted today, but the disclaimer was obviously intended to disarm the common Christian reader; and yet the Christian historian and theologian is aware that from the beginning Christianity demanded holiness not only from official leaders but from every professing member.
The immediate background for this Christian demand in the first century is represented in the admonition of Ben Sira ( Ecclus. 21:1): "My child, have you sinned? Sin so longer, and offer petition for your previous sins." The Discipline Scroll of Qumran ( iii, 9-11) similarly enjoins the novitiate to "direct his steps so as to walk perfectly in all God's ways . . . Let him not swerve either to the right or to the left, nor transgress a single one of God's words."2 Again, about the turn of the era, the Wisdom of Solomon (15: 2 f.) confidently insists: "We will not sin, for we know that we are accounted yours. For to know you is perfect uprightness."
Such typical expressions in late Judaism remind us of the principle of perfectionism proclaimed by Jesus ( Matt. 5:48) : "You are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is."3 Paul habitually addressed the Christian believers throughout his correspondence as "saints"____________________

Meet Connie Grigsby
Connie worked very hard on her marriage relationship for four long years. Then she gave birth to twin girls and discovered that they loved her much more unconditionally than Wes ever had. Before long, the relationship between Connie and Wes turned cold and distant. The couple plodded along and had a third daughter.
life took a surprising turn the day she made a seemingly inconsequential decision. "I was going to go to the pastor's wife's class on teens, but decided to attend the wives' class, taught by Nancy Cobb, instead," she remembers. "I learned all about God's plan for me in my marriage. A month into the class, I woke up in the middle of the night and prayed, 'Lord, I don't even know what I'm doing, but you do. Will you help me?' I determined I had missed so much by living life my own way. I discovered that God wanted an intimate, personal relationship with me on a daily basis. I began to change and, as often happens, my husband began to soften as well. It was like watching 1 Peter 3 come to life before my very eyes."
Connie was finally able to employ her latent writing talents when Nancy Cobb asked her to collaborate on their first book, Is There a Moose in Your Marriage? This book was a finalist for the ECPA Gold Medallion Award in 2001 and was renamed, reformatted, and re-released as The Politically Incorrect Wife in 2003. Their second book, How to Get Your Husband to Talk to You, was a finalist for The Books for a Better Life Award and was on the ECPA bestseller list for several months. Their third book, The Best Thing I Ever Did for My Marriage, was released in August 2003. In addition, Connie authored How to Get Your Teen to Talk to You. The pair's newest book, How to Get Your Husband to Listen to You: Uncovering How Men Communicate, was released in January 2008 by WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group, a division of Random House. Connie's style—humorous, insightful, and unpretentious—reflects her desire to craft user-friendly books that can capture a secular audience with God's truth.
Nancy and Connie have taught a class on marriage called "The Wife Class" for 10 years which has been attended by hundreds of women. They have been repeat guests on Family Life Today with Dennis Rainey and Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Leigh DeMoss and have appeared on The 700 Club. In addition, Nancy and Connie have a regular program, Lifewalk, every week on KGBI, one of Omaha, Nebraska's Christian radio stations.
Wes and Connie have three grown daughters and reside in Omaha, where Wes has just been appointed Chief of Staff at Creighton University Medical Center. Connie enjoys playing tennis, spending time with her family and friends, and eating other people's cooking. She can frequently be found driving the golf cart for Wes, an avid golfer and devoted Starbucks customer.
