Predictika · Servo system quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a Delta servo system: an ECM-B3 or ECM-A3 servo motor with an ASDA-B3 or ASDA-B3A servo drive, with the supply, encoder, shaft, fieldbus, safety and connector options. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published ASDA-B3 manual tables and returns a verdict, every reason and the listed torque figures it compared against.
This validator models rules stated in the ASDA-B3 manual (V9, Chapter 1: model naming and the servo drive and servo motor combination tables), not just the scenarios shown below.
Any quote for these servo systems that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Delta publishes no price list for these products, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), other Delta servo lines (ASDA-A3, ASDA-A2, ASDA-W), cables and accessories, and sizing for a load.

What this means
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.
| What the validator caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Motor and drive combinations from a table | Only with care Each motor model is listed with a few drives and a maximum torque for each; hundreds of pairings need their own table. | The table is held once as data and every quote is compared with it in the same pass. |
| Options that depend on the series | Only with care Encoder, shaft and special codes differ between ECM-A3 and ECM-B3, so each option needs a rule per series. | The series sets the listed values and every option is compared with them on every call. |
| Model type limits | Only with workarounds Fieldbus, pulse input, STO, the dynamic brake and the CN1 connector depend on the drive model type and series chosen on another line. | Each combination is a rule evaluated together with all the others, in whatever order the choices arrive. |
| Blocks and approvals | Only with workarounds A special code that needs a person to confirm must be told apart from a hard mismatch. | Blocks and approvals are separate findings in one answer, and the Execute step is refused until each one is cleared. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next. | All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in. |
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.
| 1 | The drive on the quote has a rated power of 800 W and a voltage code of 21; the ASDA-B3 naming lists rated power codes 100, 200, 400, 750 W and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, 5.5, 7.5 kW with voltage codes 21, 23 and 43. |
| 2 | The drive on the quote has a rated power of 750 W and a voltage code of 22; the ASDA-B3 naming lists rated power codes 100, 200, 400, 750 W and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, 5.5, 7.5 kW with voltage codes 21, 23 and 43. |
| 3 | No ECM motor with this inertia and series, voltage and speed code, frame size 60 mm and rated power 750 W is listed in the ASDA-B3 servo motor tables. |
| 4 | No ECM motor with this inertia and series, voltage and speed code, frame size 60 mm and rated power 200 W is listed in the ASDA-B3 servo motor tables. |
| 5 | The motor is a 220 V motor and the drive is a 400 V drive; a 220 V drive (code 21 or 23) goes with C, E and F motors and a 400 V drive (code 43) with J, K and L motors. |
| 6 | The motor is a 400 V motor and the drive is a 220 V drive; a 220 V drive (code 21 or 23) goes with C, E and F motors and a 400 V drive (code 43) with J, K and L motors. |
| 7 | The quoted drive is not one of the drives listed for this motor in the ASDA-B3 servo drive and motor table. |
| 8 | The supply is single-phase and the drive has voltage code {}; only code 21 drives accept single- or three-phase input, codes 23 and 43 are three-phase only. |
| 9 | The encoder type on the quote is not one of the encoder codes listed for this motor series (ECM-A3: Y, 1, A, 2; ECM-B3: A, 2, P, M). |
| 10 | The shaft and connector code on the quote is not listed for ECM-A3 motors, which offer S, 7, J and K only. |
| 11 | The 14 mm special shaft is quoted on a motor of frame size 80 mm and rated power 750 W; the manual lists it only for F80 400 W models. |
| 12 | The 42 mm shaft is quoted on a motor of frame size 130 mm and rated power 1,500 W; the manual lists it only for F180 5.5 kW and 7.5 kW models. |
| 13 | The quote has the ECM-A3 special code Z, which the manual refers to a separate note; a person should confirm what is being ordered. |
| 14 | The special code Z is described only for ECM-A3 motors; ECM-B3 motors are standard products (code 1). |
| 15 | The P (PROFINET) model type is listed only for the B3A series; the quote has a B3 series drive. |
| 16 | The quote needs the safe torque off (STO) function; the CN10 STO connector is supported only by the B3A series. |
| 17 | The quote needs the dynamic brake; the model-type tables list it only for the B3A series. |
| 18 | The quote needs a communication interface that the drive model type does not have; L has RS-485, M has CANopen (B3A also RS-485), F has DMCNET, E has EtherCAT and P has PROFINET. |
| 19 | The quote needs pulse and sign position input; only the L model type has it. |
| 20 | The quote has a 44-pin CN1 connector; L model drives take a 44-pin connector and M, F, E and P model drives take a 26-pin connector. |
| 21 | The quote has a 26-pin CN1 connector; L model drives take a 44-pin connector and M, F, E and P model drives take a 26-pin connector. |
| 22 | The quote states a maximum torque of 8.4 N.m; the table lists 7.61 N.m for this motor and drive. |
| 23 | The quote states a maximum torque of 7.5 N.m; the table lists 7.61 N.m for this motor and drive. |
