2.1 General function

The integrated Series DT-120 displacement transmitters are based on the non-contacting eddy current measurement principle, which has proven itself in the field of machine monitoring for several decades. It allows contactless measurement of the distance between the tip of the displacement transmitter and an electrically conductive surface to be measured (target).

2.1.1 Measurement type

Based on the distance signal the integral electronics perform one of the following measurements according to the selected model:

• DT-12x.AP/… AP = Axial Position, measurement of the axial shaft position

• DT-12x.RV/…RV = Radial Vibration, measurement of the radial shaft vibration

(peak to peak value)

Brüel & Kjaer Vibro │ Instructions Transmitter Series DT-120

Upon connection of the transmitter to a downstream electronic device, the measured loop current must be converted into the corresponding measurand. The general approach to this is given by the following formula:

  = 

In doing so Full Scale (FS) represents the not offset corrected measurement value of the transmitter for a loop output of 20 mA. Offset is the measurement value which is assigned to the transmitter output of 4 mA.

For a radial shaft vibration measurement, the Offset is 0 µm peak-peak which corresponds to a vibration amplitude of zero, i.e.  no vibration. For an axial position measurement, a transformation into the machine-oriented coordinate system can e.g. be performed by setting the Offset correspondingly.

The unit of the measurement value depends on the selected measurement type respectively transmitter model. In case of a radial shaft vibration measurement, this is [µm peak-peak] or [mil peak-peak], while in case of an axial shaft position measurement it is [µm] or [mil] respectively.

The system sensitivity present for a given measurement operation has a direct influence on the Full Scale value of the transmitter system. Due to the eddy current measurement principle the actual system sensitivity and therefore also the individual Full Scale value is dependent on the electrical properties of the target material which is used in the application.

As part of the production process the transmitter is tuned to its standard sensitivity in regard to the B&K Vibro reference target made out of 42CrMo4 (1.7225 according to EN 10027). In order to obtain a precise interpretation/conversion of the output loop current, the determination of the system sensitivity with reference to the shaft or target material used is a mandatory prerequisite.

Section 7.2.4 explains how one can determine the system sensitivity and from this the Full Scale value for the concrete application by aid of a static calibration device and a suitable material probe.

Section 4.2 contains an installation example for an axial position displacement transmitter.

Prerequisites

• The necessary clearances and the width of the measuring track are taken into account

(see Chapter 7.2.2 and Chapter 7.2.3.)

• The sensitivity of the displacement transmitter for the target material used is known

(see Chapter 7.2.4).

• The displacement transmitter housing must be earthed (if necessary during assembly).

Sequence

Use this sequence for installation of the displacement transmitter:

• 4.1 Mounting of the displacement transmitter

• 4.2 Adjustment of the displacement transmitter installation position

• 4.3 Laying of connecting cable

• 4.4 Electrical connection

4.1 Assembly of the displacement transmitter

If a ceramic tip is damaged, loose ceramic particles can get inside the machine and

Check the tip of the displacement transmitter, the transmitter housing and the integral cable for any damage before every assembly operation. Damaged displacement transmitters must not be mounted. To avoid damage, particularly ensure during assembly and operation of the machine, that the ceramic tip does not come into contact with other objects and that the integral cable is protected from mechanical damage.

The measurement value can be influenced by electromagnetic interference. In the event of interferences, we recommend an earthed steel protective conduit (e.g. AC-2202) for the protection of the displacement transmitter signal cable.

Installation

4.1.1 DT-121 and DT-122 forward mountable displacement transmitter

Dependent on the application forward mounting can take place inside a machine, outside a machine or through the machine housing. To avoid measurement errors, we always recommend using a suitable holder for the transmitter mounting. For this purpose the transmitter holder is to be mounted at a location which does not move relative to the measurement object during machine operation.

1. Remove the protective cap on the ceramic tip.

2. Fasten the displacement transmitter with the aid of a transmitter holder suitable for the type of

assembly being undertaken.

3. Position the displacement transmitter so that it is perpendicular to the measuring track.

4. Ensure that the ceramic tip does not touch the measurement object to avoid damage.

5. Adjust the installation position of the displacement transmitter by means of

its dynamic signal output, see Chapter 4.2.

Figure 4-1) Mounting layout for a forward mountable displacement transmitter (schematic diagram)

4.1.2 DT-123 reverse mountable displacement transmitter

The reverse mountable displacement transmitter is preferably mounted by means of a transmitter holder with adjusting spindle.

• Fasten the displacement transmitter with the aid of a transmitter holder suitable for the type of

assembly being undertaken. We recommend to use the holder AC-3101.

• Adjust the installation position of the displacement transmitter by means of its dynamic signal

output, see Chapter 4.2.

4.2 Adjusting the installation position of the displacement transmitter

The displacement transmitter must be adjusted while the rotor is stationary. For the measurement setup the displacement transmitter must be supplied with voltage over the loop-powered interface (black, white). The target position for the installation position must be known before setting up. To determine this in advance, for setting up an axial position transmitter for example, the exact location of the rotor in relation to its possible axial bearing play during operation must be known. To set up a radial vibration transmitter, it may be necessary to take account of the ‘lift off’ of the rotor during operation. The target position must be determined in such a way that any contact of the transmitter tip with the rotor is totally excluded during operation. The GAP voltage to be set must be derived from the determined target position (see example) for adjustment of the installation position.

Example

DT-12x.AP/0/… measurement of an axial shaft position (nominal measurement range 1.2 mm)

The following variables are known for the concrete application: Full Scale: 1.18 mm for a sensitivity of

8.14 mV/µm or 73.75 µm/mA with regard to the target material used in the application. The shaft is in the middle position when installing the transmitter. While operation the shaft can move ±0.35 mm in both directions.

The loop output of the AP transmitter is designed in such a way that loop measurement range begins (4 mA) for a GAP voltage of 2 VDC at the DYN_OUT output. The maximum change in distance, which represents a loop current of 20 mA, is outputted for this measurement range of nominal 1.2 mm at a GAP voltage of 11.6 V. This value arises from the nominal sensitivity of 8 mV/µm and the nominal measurement range (= 2 V + 1.2 mm * 8 mV/µm).

In this example the sensitivity is 8.14 mV/µm. Therefore, in this case, the maximum Full Scale voltage value of 11.6 V is already achieved for a distance of 1.18 mm (= 2 V + 1.18 mm * 8.14 mV/µm).

In the example it is assumed that the shaft is located in its middle position during installation of the axial position transmitter. Therefore, it is recommended in this case, to also position the distance between shaft and transmitter tip for the adjustment of the transmitter installation position to the middle of its measurement range. This therefore corresponds to the transmitter target position for installation.

Calculation of the GAP voltage to be set for the installation takes place using the following approach: The transmitter measurement range begins, as mentioned above, at a GAP voltage of 2 VDC. In this case the transmitter should be adjusted to the middle of its measurement range. Half of the FS of the transmitter measurement range is 0.59 mm = ½ * 1.18 mm. This results in the following value for the required GAP voltage U

Figure 4-2) Measurement setup for adjustment (axial / radial)

• For the purpose of power supply, the displacement transmitter is connected, for example, to a

process control system over its loop-powered interface.

• The displacement transmitter is pre-mounted in such a way that the distance between the

transmitter tip and the rotor lies outside of its measurement range.

• Switch on the voltage at the loop-powered interface.

• Position the displacement transmitter through careful turning in, in such a way that it comes

into the linear measurement range.

• At the dynamic signal output you obtain the GAP voltage proportional to the measuring

distance in the range of 2 V ... 18 V (linear displacement measurement range). The sensitivity of the displacement transmitter is nominal 8 mV/µm or 8 V/mm corresponding mechanical distance (D [mm]) is in the range of min. 0.5 mm to max. 2.5 mm.

• During setup ensure that the transmitter cable is not twisted. The minimum distance of 0.5 mm

to the shaft must be maintained at all times to avoid damaging the ceramic tip (observe the GAP voltage).

• While observing the dynamic signal output, position the displacement transmitter in such a

way that the GAP voltage corresponding to the target position is set. This guarantees that the rotor does not leave the linear measurement range at its maximum deflection and the minimum distance of 0.5 mm is always maintained.

• Fix the displacement transmitter with the locknuts provided (tightening torque 5 Nm). The

displacement transmitter must not be twisted when locking since this would change the target position and hence the corresponding GAP voltage. Use a suitable screw lock (e.g. LOCTITE 243 medium-strength) to fix the transmitter in its target position.

• Check the output voltage again.

• Remove the power supply and voltmeter.

• Mount the connecting cable and route it; see the next chapter.

4. Earth the cable shield.

For assembly inside the machine:

• Seal the housing opening with the aid of a housing feed-through in such a way that the

medium inside the machine (for example gas or oil) cannot escape to the outside. We assume no liability for improper installation.

4.4 Electrical connection

The displacement transmitter is attached over the two conductors of the loop-powered interface to a subsequent control system (PLC / PCS). We recommend using the connection module AC-2140 (Figure 4-3).

5.2 Troubleshooting

If the measurement results obtained are different, proceed in the sequence we recommend: Check the output voltage of the dynamic signal output using a voltmeter.

a. Output signal > 18 V, or the signal shifts between two values: the distance is still too large and

therefore outside of the measurement range. In this case reduce the distance until a stable output signal is obtained.

b. Output signal < 2 V

It is possible that the distance between the target and the ceramic tip is too low. Adjust the displacement transmitter to a larger distance to the target and check the output signal again. If the output signal does not change, there is a defect in the displacement transmitter system.

7.2 Environmental requirements

7.2.1 Resistance of the displacement transmitter to different media

If the displacement transmitter is used in media such as water, it can have an impact on the measurement result. For example, an increase in the electrical conductivity of the surrounding medium usually causes an increase in the measurement error.

Without additional protective measures, the rear of the displacement transmitter is not media proof. The values in the following table refer to the ceramic sensor tip only.

7.2.2 Properties of the measuring track

The material characteristic of the measurement object change the static and dynamic measurements. In order to obtain repeatable and traceable measurements, we recommend to adjust the whole measurement loop to the respective shaft material and the corresponding system sensitivity.

The measuring track must be at least 15 mm wide, demagnetised and free of scratches and cavities. The following values must be observed and maintained to obtain meaningful measurements:

• Roughness R

• Roughness depth R

Please observe the axial movement of the shaft, too.

7.2.4 Calibration

Calibration allows one to determine the sensitivity of the transmitter system in relation to a given material. This requires recording of a characteristic curve for the material using the DT-120 displacement transmitter:

1. Connect the displacement transmitter as described in the measurement setup (Figure 4-2) and align perpendicular to the suitable material sample.

2. Position the displacement transmitter to a small distance voltage U out and note the voltage U

3. Increase the distance D in steps of 0.25 mm (D associated voltages (U is achieved.

We recommend performing calibration with the aid of our static calibration device AC-126. There is also the option to send in a suitable sample of the material to have a calibration certificate created.

Calculation of the 20 mA Full Scale value from the transmitter calibration

Based on the determined sensitivity S, the Full Scale value @ 20 mA, which is needed for conversion of the loop current values into measurement values, can now be calculated.

Measurement of the axial position

Calculation of the current AP Full Scale value is done by multiplication of the nominal measurement range of the AP transmitter by the quotient from the nominal sensitivity of 8 mV/µm or 203.2 mV/mil and the sensitivity obtained from the calibration, with reference to the target material used:
