3.0: Introduction

The LDX-4 MK2 is a development of the original LDX-4. It is a compact conditioning module powered from a single DC supply. Adjustable gain and zero controls are provided for use with the complete range of Omega transducers. The unit is of robust construction, housed in a die cast aluminium box providing a substantial degree of mechanical protection. The LDX-4 MK2 incorporates its own voltage regulation for operation from 10-30 VDC and can provide outputs of up to ±10 V together with ±20 mA.

3.1: LDX-4 Enhancements

TheLDX-4MK2hasbeendesignedasaform,tandfunctionreplacementforthe

original LDX-4, but with several enhancements.

• Wider gain range, allowing ALL Omega transducers to be connected without the need for attenuation resistors.

• Up to ±10 VDC and ±20 mA are available for all gain settings.

• Fixedandvariableo󰀨setsmakesettingofuni-polaroutputeasier.

• Gainando󰀨setadjustmentarefullyindependent.

• Selectable transducer excitation frequency.

• Selectable transducer load resistances.

• Selection between forward and reverse connection.

• Fully CE Compliant.

• Half-Bridge transducers can now be accommodated with simple plug wiring changes.*

* For half-bridge only variant see section 6.0.

4.0: Installation

4.1: Mounting

The LDX-4 may be mounted in a variety of ways and in any attitude. Ensure that there is enough space for the cover to be removed to allow for internal adjustments. Space should also be allowed for the transducer connector, EMC glands (if

tted)andcabling.ItisrecommendedthattheLDX-4casebeconnectedtoearth

or chassis. This earth connection is not a safety earth, but is part of the overall electrical screening scheme.

4.0: Installation (continued)

4.2: Operational Environment

This section discusses the type of installation required depending on the electrical environment.

4.2.1: Residential, Commercial and Light Industrial Environments

Typically,thiswillbeano󰀩ce,laboratoryorindustrialenvironmentwherethereisno

equipment likely to produce high levels of electrical interference, such as welders or machine tools.

Connectionsmaybemadeusingtwisted,unscreenedwire.Thisisacoste󰀨ective

option and will give good performance in this environment.

Standard equipment wire such as 7/0.2 (24AWG) can be twisted together as required. Standard data cable such as generic CAT5 UTP will also give good performance.

4.2.2: Industrial Environments

Typically, this will be an industrial environment where there is equipment likely to produce high levels of electrical interference, such as welders, machine tools, cutting and stamping machines.

Connections should be made using screened cable. Braided or foil screened cables may be used. The cable screen should be connected to the LDX-4 case at cable entry point. The case of the LDX-4 should be connected to a local ground. An EMC cable gland is recommended. This is supplied with the LDX-4.

When selecting the type of wire or cable to be used, consider the following parameters:

- Screening.

- Conductor size (resistance).

- Mechanicalaspectssuchasexibilityandrobustness.

This is not a complete list. Installations may require other special cable characteristics.

4.3: Electrical Connections

The LDX-4 requires three connections.

1. Transducer.

2. Power Supply.

3. Output Signal, Voltage or Current.

A small hole should be made in the grommet prior to passing the wires through. If a screened cable is to be used, an EMC cable gland is recommended (see section

4.7).

Page 6

4.3: Electrical Connections (continued)

For best performance in electrically noisy environments, the case of the LDX-4 should be connected to a local earth. This can be achieved via the mounting bracket. This earth connection is not a safety earth, but is part of the overall electrical screening scheme.

ThewiringlayoutarrangementsaresimilarforLDX-4ttedwithEMCglandsand

screened cable.

4.5: Connecting the Power Supply

The LDX-4 requires a dc power supply in the range 10-30 V. A fully regulated supply is not required, but the voltage at the input to the LDX-4 must remain

withinspecication.Ideally,the0Vatthepowersupplyshouldnotbeconnected

to earth or the chassis, as this would result in ground loops being formed. The 0 V supply, 0 V signal and case are all internally connected together at the LDX-4.

4.6: Connecting the Signal Out

The output signal may be voltage or current.

Page 8

4.6.1: Voltage Connections

Voltage can easily be monitored using a variety of instrumentation such as voltmeters. Voltage drops along wires contribute to measurement errors, so care must be taken when using long cable lengths (100 m for example). High impedance instruments are more prone to interference.

The signal 0 V should always be used as reference. If power supply 0 V is used, then error voltages may be introduced.

4.6.2: Current Connections

Current output requires the use of purposely designed current input instrumentation. Current output is more suitable for transmitting over longer distances because current is not lost due to wiring resistance. Additionally, with a low impedance, a current loop is less likely to pick up noise.

The total loop resistance (resistance of measuring equipment and wiring) must

Note: The LDX-4 is not loop-powered, so a power supply must not be used in-line with the current output.

4.7: Using an EMC Cable Gland

To ensure the cable screen is properly connected to the LDX-4 case, an EMC cable gland should be used. This is supplied as an optional extra. The diagrams

5.0: Setting up the Transducer and LDX-4

The LDX-4 may be set-up with output signals anywhere within a ±10 VDC or ±20 mA range. Typical outputs are ±10 VDC, ±5 VDC, 0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA. These procedures apply to voltage and current output.

Voltage and current output are available at the same time, although they cannot be individually adjusted. Either voltage or current should be chosen as the calibration reference.

All outputs use 0 V signal as the signal reference.

A list of standard link settings is available, see section 5.2.

CAUTION: During installation and adjustment, the top of the enclosure has to be removed for access to user adjustments. At this time, standard ESD handling precautions for electronic equipment should be followed.

For a bi-polar output i.e. ±10 VDC or ±20 mA, follow steps 1 to 3. For a uni-polar output i.e. 0-10 V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, follow steps 1 to 4.

Ineithercase,step5(nalchecks)shouldbefollowedonthecompletionofthe

set-up.

5.2: Basic Procedure

STEP 1 - Set-up LDX-4 Links

If the transducer characteristics are known, set the frequency and input resistance links as required. If the transducer characteristics are not known, the standard link settings should be used.

If your transducer is known to be outside of the standard sensitivity range, the X2 or DIV2 links will have to be used. See section 5.3.

STEP 2 - Align LDX-4 Null and Transducer Null

Anyelectricalo󰀨setintheLDX-4isremoved.Thetransducerpositionisadjusted

so that transducer and LDX-4 nulls are aligned.

Null the LDX-4

1. Put the Gain link on position (7) as

shown.Thisallowsanyelectronicso󰀨set

in the output stage to be removed.

2. AdjusttheFineO󰀨setcontroltogiveas

near to zero output as practical.

Null the transducer.

1. Replace the Gain link to the original position.

H I

(O FF)

2. Adjust the position of the transducer to give as near to zero output as practical. This is the centre of the mechanical range.

Ifthetransducercannotbecenteredforpracticalreasonsano󰀨setwillremain withinthesystem.TheremaybenoticeableinteractionbetweenGainandO󰀨set

adjustment. This does not prevent the LDX-4 being set-up, however several itera-

tionsmayberequiredwhenadjustingGainandO󰀨set.Pleasecontactyoursupplier

if guidance is required.

STEP 3 - Setting Bi-Polar Full-scale Output

1. Move the transducer to the position where maximum LDX-4 output is required.

2. If the polarity of the output is wrong, move the Polarity (FR) links to the R position (see link diagram).

3. Move the RANGE link between 1 and 6 until the LDX-4 output is near the required value.

4. Adjust the Fine Gain control to give the required output.

5. A bi-polar output has now been set, proceed to step 5. If a uni-polar output is required, proceed to step 4.

Example: ±10 VDC is required from a ±1 mm transducer. Set the transducer to +1 mm and set the output to 10 V.

If your transducer is known to be outside of the standard sensitivity range, the X2, X4 or DIV2 links will have to be used. See section 5.3.

STEP4-SettingUni-polarFull-ScaleOutput(addingano󰀨set)

1. Move the transducer to the null position. LDX-4 output will be 0 V or 0 mA.

2. Applyo󰀨setusingthe+VE,-VE,5Vand10VlinksandthenadjusttheFine

O󰀨setcontroltosettheo󰀨setprecisely.

3. Performnalchecks,step5.

Example: 0-10 V is required for a ±1 mm transducer. Set the transducer to give ±5

Voverthefullrangeandthen,withthetransduceratnull,add+5Vo󰀨set.Adjust theFineO󰀨setcontroltogive5V.Whenthetransducerismovedtothe

+1 mm position, the output will be +10 V.

Example: 4-20 mA is required for a ±1 mm transducer. Set the transducer to give ±8 mA over the full range and then, with the transducer at null, add +2.5 V (approx.

5mA)o󰀨set.AdjusttheFineO󰀨setcontroltogive+12mA.Whenthetransduceris

moved to the +1 mm position, the output will be +20 mA.

STEP 5 - Final Checks

Ensure that the calibration is correct by moving the transducer across the required mechanical range, checking calibration points. Fine adjustment can be made if required.

It may only be possible to set the output accurately at the two calibration points. This is due to non-linearity within the transducer.

5.3: Transducer Sensitivity and the X2, X4, DIV2 Link

The LDX-4 compensates for changes in primary signal amplitude by producing an internal error signal that is the ratio between the primary and secondary signals. If the transducer output signal is too high or too low, errors may occur that can degrade the performance of the LDX-4 / transducer combination. For these transducers, the X2, X4 or DIV2 input gain link must be used.

Transducer Full Range Output

In general, transducer sensitivity is quoted as mV/V/mm Where: mV is the output of the transducer V is the primary voltage mm is the mechanical position of the transducer from null (usually mid mechanical range).

To get the transducer Full Range Output, multiply all three together.

Example: GP911-1 sensitivity is 210 mV/V/mm GP911-1 range is ±1 mm LDX-4 primary voltage 3 V

Transducer Full Range Output = 210 x 3 x 1 = 630 mV (0.63 V)

Set the X2, X4, DIV2 link as shown in the table below.

150 mV FR to 400 mV FR Low Transducer Output - Link ON X2

55 mV FR to 150 mV FR Very Low Transducer Output - Link ON X4

6.0: Half-Bridge only Variant

This is a half-bridge optimized variant of the standard product. The excitation fre-

quencyishigher(seespecication)andthetransducerinputconnectoriswiredto

7.4: Notes

1. Primaryvoltageabsolutevalueanddriftisnotspecied.TheLDX-4usesratiometric techniques to compensate for primary voltage drift.

2. ThewayinwhichtheLDX-4functionsmeansaspecialcongurationmustbe used for transducers outside of the standard range. This is selectable by links. The majority of Omega LVDT transducers are within the standard range. See section 5.

3. LDX-4 can drive into a 1 KWloadbutthiso󰀨ersnoadvantage.10-100KW is recommended.

4. Output voltage range can be adjusted as required anywhere within this range

byusingacombinationofgainando󰀨set,forexample.±10VDC,±5VDC,0-5

VDC, 0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA.

5. Current output may be used at the same time as voltage output. Calibration of voltage and current cannot be individually adjusted.

6. Protection applies to the product when fully installed according to the user manual. During installation the top of the enclosure has to be removed for access to user adjustments. At this time standard ESD handling precautions for electronic equipment should be followed.

7. The LDX-4 complies with the toughest electrical emissions and immunity regulations. Compliance requires installation according to the user manual. Compliance does not guarantee performance as the installation environment

maybeoutsideoftestspecicationlimits.TheexibilityofLDX-4meansitcan

be installed in a variety of ways according to user requirements. Simple installations with short non-screened cables will meet the lesser light-industrial immunity regulations. Heavy industrial installations, especially with longer cables, will need more careful installation with screened cables.
