able capacities and rated outputs.
(2) When cleaning the product, do not use thinners or solvents. Use commercial alcohol.
(3) Confirm that wire does not stick up after wiring of stranded cable.
(4) In case of passage wiring, install these by 10 A per 1 terminal because when products are con-
nected more than one in parallel, quite many electric currents to be called off.
(5) The terminal block may be damaged if specialized tool is not used. Use a recommended flat-blade
screwdriver to inserted into a release hole on the terminal block.
(6) Do not apply excessive force to bend or pull the communications cables, and do not place heavy
objects on the cables. Doing so will damage the cables.
(7) Refer to the status information of the product on the data link communication and refer to the
received data only in case of no errors occur with the product.
The followings are for K6CM-VB and K6CM-VBS1 sensors.
(8) Wipe off the dirt on the mounting surface and screw mounting with 17 mm nominal size of wrench.
• Recommended mounting screw tightening torque: 4.4 to 5.4 N•m
• Mounting hole dimension: M6 holes (depth: 9 mm min.)
(9) The easy-positioning magnet is for the purpose of seeking the detected position. In the case of
using the product permanently, be sure to use it after it is mounted by screws.
(10) In the case of vertical mounting or reverse mounting with the easy positioning magnet, be careful
of the sensor falling.
(11) Refer to Installation of the Vibration Sensor Head on page 5-7 to install the sensor correctly. It may
be impossible to detect high frequency vibration.
(12) Do not disassemble the sensor. It may not operate correctly.
(13) Be careful of incorrect wiring or short circuit for wiring.
(14) Do not use the preamplifier connected to the other products.
(15) If there is a vibration reduction device such as dampers and rubbers between the vibration mea-
surement object and the sensor, it is difficult to detect the vibration and it will not be able to measure it correctly, so do not install as much as possible.
(16) In the case of insertion and removal of connector, be sure to do it by holding the connector with
hands.
(17) Do not remove the connector with holding the cable.
(18) Check the direction of the key groove before you use the connector.
(19) Do not wire with wet hands. It may result in operation failure or product damage when power is
being supplied to the product.
(20) When fitting the connector, be sure to do it with hands, not to use tools. It may result in damages if
the tool like plier is used.
(21) In the case of removal of the fitness of the connector between the sensor and the preamplifier, be
careful to do it not to adhere water or dirt on the fitting surface. It may result in faulty contact at the
connector.
(22) Install cables to avoid any force is applied to the connector. In case the any force is applied to the
connector, it causes that the performance of protection structure (IP67G) becomes incapable.
(23) Do not use the connector as a scaffold or put heavy objects on it. It may result in connector dam-
age.
10
K6CM Motor Condition Monitoring Device User’s Manual (N219)
Precautions for Correct Use
(24) Do not mount the way that the force is directly applied to the fitting part of the connector or the root
part of the cable connection. It may result in connector damage or cable disconnection.
(25) When bending cables, use cables with a minimum bending radius of 25 mm.
(26) Use preamplifier after it is fixed on the DIN rail or with screws. In case of using unfixed one, it is in
the condition that force is easily applied to the cable, and the cable may be broken.
(27) About oil-resistance of sensor head/cable; (Not tested by UL)
Follow the procedure below in case of using the product under the condition that uses cutting oil
since the life expectancy and the performance of the product are affected.
• Use the product in the specified condition for cutting oil
• Use the product at the dilution rate of cutting oil that is recommended by the cutting oil makers.
• Do not use the product in oil or water.
There are cases that the influence on the life expectancy of the product differs depending on the
type of the use oil. Make sure in advance that there is no deterioration of the sealing material by the
cutting oil, before using the product.
The followings are for K6CM-IS and K6CM-CI.
(28) Error will be large if the product is used for thyristor control.
(29) Do not use the alarm output function for control. This function can be used only to detect abnormal
conditions and to output the alarm.
(30) Avoid using the product in places near a radio, a television set, or a wireless device.
The product may result in radio disturbance for these devices.
(31) Make sure that the rating of the used CT and the CT setting of the product agree.
(32) Do not ground the specified CT. Doing so may cause instability when measuring failure.
(33) Do not clamp directly to the lines exceeding 600 VAC.
(34) Use ZCT (IRT) after fixing it with screws. If used without fixing, a load is easily applied on the cable,
and the cable may become disconnected.
The followings are only for K6CM-IS.
(35) ZCT (IRT) is an special product. Do not use it for any other purposes. Otherwise, failure may occur.
(36) When clamping wires with ZCT (IRT), do it in a right direction. If clamped in the wrong direction,
correct measurement cannot be taken.
(37) The distorted ratio of the input waveform should be 30% or less. If it is used in a circuit with large
distortion of waveform, it may cause unnecessary operation.
(38) Do not use in a circuit with the waveform is distorted. The error will increase due to the influence of
the distorted waveform.

*1. The dedicated cable between the sensor head and the pre-amplifier is 2.9 m long. It cannot be extended.The
sensor head and the pre-amplifier are calibrated and inspected as a set at the factory shipment. Be sure to
use them with the combination shipped. For details, refer to Installation of the Vibration Sensor Head on page
5-7.
*2. The dedicated attached cable between the pre-amplifier and the K6CM device is 1 m. It can be extended up
to a maximum length of 100 m. Refer to A-5 Individual Specifications of the Dedicated Sensor on page A-10
for recommended cables.
Note When you use an inverter to drive the motor, you may not be able to check the degradation tendency of
the motor. However, under the following conditions, changes in acceleration are more likely to be confirmed.
• When the inverter driving frequency is 50 Hz or more and the frequency is stable
• When the carrier frequency of the inverter is 12.5 kHz or more and the frequency is stable
Use an inverter after trying according to your installation environment.

3-1Overview
The measurement makes it possible to calculate the measurement value based on the input from the
sensor. The calculation is executed inside the K6CM even in the unmeasured state before the trigger
start, and the measurement display is updated when the trigger is established. The monitoring (alarm)
captures the measured value when the trigger is established. The monitoring (alarm) involves first judging the threshold value of the Warning/Critical for each measured value, and then judging whether each
measured value is within the Warning/Critical level as an "individual alarm". Next, the OR logic is
obtained for each "individual alarm" and Normal/Warning/Critical is judged for each monitor target as
the "Comprehensive alarm". The "Comprehensive alarm" is displayed on the front LCD alarm bar of the
K6CM device and transistor output is performed (*1). Both measurement and monitoring (alarm) are
executed either always or when a trigger condition is satisfied.
*1. If the alarm latch is set to "Yes", the alarm status of the K6CM comprehensive judgment (such as alarm bar
and transistor outputs 1 and 2) is held. Pressing the [ALM RST] key on the front of the device releases the
latch. Also, the transistor output type of output 1 and output 2 can be set to Normally closed or Normally open.
As shown in the figure, it is as follows.

The moving average is the process of assuming the average value of past n times of measured values
which includes the measured value of that time to be a current measured value each time the sampling
of the measured value is performed. The moving average makes it possible to suppress the instantaneous fluctuation of the measured value and make the tendency of the measured value easier to see.

Trigger is a function of updating and monitoring the measured values when certain conditions are met.
To observe the aging of the motor, it is necessary to set the installation state, load, and rotation speed
of the motor during measurement to the same condition, and to measure the motor rotating at a constant speed avoiding the state where the motor is stopped or accelerating or decelerating. Depending
on the application, select the trigger mode from Always (while power is ON), External Trigger, or Internal Trigger. The operation of each trigger mode is shown in the table below.

Trigger Settings
To observe the aging of the motor, it is necessary to set the condition of the motor at measurement to
the same condition, and to measure the motor in a stable state avoiding the state where the motor is
stopped or accelerating or decelerating. Use trigger to start measurement at appropriate timing. Refer
to the following.
1Determination of trigger mode
Refer to 3-2-3 Trigger Mode on page 3-5 and decide the trigger mode and trigger type according
to the application.
2Determination of moving average times
Reducing the moving average times can help capture instantaneous fluctuations.
Increasing the moving average times can suppress the steep fluctuation of measured values
and capture the overall trend.
Determine the moving average times of measured values according to the state of measured
value.
3Determination of trigger start timing (when trigger mode is external trigger or internal trigger)
To obtain the measured value when the state of the motor is stable, start the trigger after the
sampling period * 1 × (moving average times + 1) has elapsed after the motor state became stable.
(*1 The sampling period differs for each measured target. Refer to 3-2-1 for details).
Also, release the trigger during stable operation of the motor.
The following is an example of trigger without the moving average and also with the moving average.

As shown above, if the moving average times = 2, stable measured value can be measured when trigger is started after the sampling period × (moving average times + 1) = sampling period × 3 or more has
elapsed after the motor entered stable operation.
Also, in accordance with the purpose and operating state of the motor, determine the measurement
time as the number of seconds for which measurement is to be performed after trigger start (when the
trigger type is Rising edge or Falling edge).
Stable measured values can be measured by making the settings so that the measurement time fits
within the motor stable operation. Consider the timing of trigger release and determine the measurement time.
The sampling period differs for each measurement target. When you determine the trigger start timing,
consider which sampling period of measurement target should be used according to the purpose.
Example) When the moving average times = 2 for the vibration & temperature type
Sampling period of acceleration: 50 ms
Sampling period of velocity: 0.5 s
Sampling period of temperature: 0.5 s
When you want to measure acceleration, velocity, and temperature at the same time, calculate the
trigger start timing as follows using the sampling period 0.5 s of the speed and temperature which is
the longest sampling period.
Sampling period × (moving average times + 1) = 0.5 s × (2 + 1) = 1.5 s.
If you want to measure only the acceleration, you can calculate the trigger start timing with sampling
period 50 ms.
Note When the time during which the motor is performing stable running is short, you may not be able to release
the trigger during stable motor operation if the measurement time is lengthened. Measure with long operation time of the motor in accordance with the actual usage, or shorten the measurement time.

3-2-4Maximum Value and Minimum Value of Measured Value
The K6CM retains the maximum and minimum measured values during measurement and monitoring
period as internal data. These can be read by the software tool or EtherNet/IP.
With this function, by reading the maximum or minimum value of the measured value for a certain
period and comparing it with another period, it is possible to detect signs of Criticality of the motor.
Also, changing the setting allows you to set the display value of the front LCD of the K6CM device to
the maximum value or the minimum value.
The software tool or EtherNet/IP can be used to reset the retained maximum and minimum values after
measuring and monitoring by operating the "Max./min. reset" setting.
The measurement and monitoring period depends on the trigger mode. The maximum value and the
minimum value also operate according to each trigger mode as follows.

Described below is the case where the alarm latch is disabled and the case where it is enabled.
When the Alarm Latch is Disabled
If you set the alarm latch to Disable (no latch) using the software tool or EtherNet/IP, the alarm condition
of Comprehensive alarm (Warning or Critical) will not be latched.
After the comprehensive alarm (Warning or Critical) occurs, if the measured value falls below the hysteresis (i.e., 10% of the threshold setting value) of the Warning or Critical threshold (for the upper limit
alarm) or higher (for the lower limit alarm), the state of the comprehensive alarm (alarm bar and transistor outputs 1 and 2) is canceled.

z Vibration & Temperature Type (K6CM-VBM)
For the Vibration & temperature type (K6CM-VB), the threshold setting method differs depending on the
monitored object (i.e., acceleration, velocity) as follows.
Monitoring By Acceleration
In acceleration monitoring, you can generally monitor the bearing wears.
There are two threshold setting methods in accordance with the state of the motor.
z Monitoring by relative value
Monitor by relative value is used when it can be determined that there is no abnormality in the motor
(new or overhauled).
Set the alarm threshold value referring to the table below based on the initial value that is set after
installation.
AlarmCriteria
Warning3 to 5 times the initial value after installation
CriticalMore than 5 times the initial value after installation
z Monitoring by absolute value
Monitor by absolute value is used when the motor status is unknown.
The threshold guide value is determined from the shaft diameter D [mm] of the motor to be monitored and the rotation speed N [rpm].
Refer to the figure below and set the alarm threshold.
3 - 18
The default value of the alarm threshold is set as follows.
• Alarm threshold (Warning): 0.5 G
• Alarm threshold (Critical): 1.0 G
When the motor capacity is set to 11 kW, the shaft diameter is 42 mm, and when the 4 pole motoris
are directly put in the power supply (60 Hz), the rotation number is 1800 rpm. 42 mm × 1800 rpm =
4
7.56 × 10
. Based on this result of the formula, the figures are set as rounded values.

3-3-4 Guide for Setting Alarm
The target motor class follows the table below.
Equipment classDefinition
ISmall-sized machines (typical example: motor with output less than 15 kW)
IIMedium-sized machine (typical example: motor with output of 15 kW to 75 kW or less
and machine with 300 kW or less)
IIILarge-sized machines: machine installed on a heavy foundation with high rigidity.
IVLarge-sized machines: machine installed on a foundation with soft rigidity.
The default value of the alarm threshold is set as follows.
• Alarm threshold (Warning): 40 mm / s
• Alarm threshold (Critical): 45 mm / s
Velocity reacts not only to vibrations but also to things like shocks. An alarm may be output due to
unnecessary vibration or shock when mounting a vibration and temperature sensor. Therefore, the
default value of the alarm threshold is set to a higher value. In actual use, set the alarm threshold to
an appropriate value according to the monitor target.

Comprehensive Current Diagnosis Type (K6CM-CI)
Refer to the following guideline to set the alarm threshold of the monitored degradation level in the
Comprehensive current diagnosis type (K6CM-CI).
If the motor and load are abnormal, noise appears in the current waveform as shown below. A value
that expresses this state numerically is the degree of degradation that can be monitored with the
Comprehensive current diagnosis type.

Note The degradation level may appear differently depending on the failure condition of the motor or load, or
depending on the installation condition.
Set the alarm threshold of the degradation level according to the actual motor conditions. Without
inverter, set the following setting value to the alarm threshold of the degradation level.
Note The default value of alarm threshold (Warning) is set to 30, which is the above 20 plus 10.
3 - 20
K6CM Motor Condition Monitoring Device User’s Manual (N219)
3 Measuring and Monitoring Mechanism
Example of actual measurement:
Initially measured value of the
degradation level is “51”.
Example:
The degradation level measured at the begging of use is “51” due to the influence of
inverter control. However, it is not abnormal.
In this case of using an inverter, this initially
measured value “51” should be added to the
alarm threshold.
Therefore, alarm threshold of degradation
level (Warning) should be “71” that is added
“20” to this value. One of degradation level
(Critical) should be “101” that is added “50” to
this value. Perform trend monitoring after
these settings.
Inverter Operation: 100%
With an inverter, the influence of the inverter control appears in the current waveform.
The degradation level will be measured to be larger than the actual value.
Therefore, shift the above initial setting value in the degradation level measured in a new product or
the normal condition after overhauling before use.
3-3 Monitoring Mechanism

3-3-4 Guide for Setting Alarm
Note The level of degradation may vary when the motor is driven by the inverter. In that case, slightly shift the
inverter drive frequency.
Also always measure and monitor the level of degradation at the same inverter drive frequency.
Mount a dedicated CT between the motor and the inverter.

In the example of the status of [2018/3/5 7:25] in the log file example on the previous page, the character string of the K6CM status is "C200" and that of the individual measurement and monitoring status is
"1000".
"C200" and "1000" are hexadecimal numbers, so convert them to binary numbers.

The bit positions are 15, 14, … , 1, and 0 from the left.
In the above case, the K6CM status 15th, 14th and 9th bits are all "1", so the measurement state is
"During measurement and monitoring" and TR1 is "OFF" and both TR2 and TR3 are "ON".
Likewise for the individual measurement and monitoring status, the12th bit is "1", so the individual
alarm result (Warning) is "Alarm occurrence".
Note When the above status is "0001" or "0110" for example, the value displayed in the CSV file is like
"1" or "110" without the last "0".

K6CM device 30th Unit 192.168.250.30255.255.255.0No change required (0.0.0.0)
When the subnet mask is "255.255.255.0", the range of IP addresses that can be set for the device
is 192.168.250.1 to 192.168.250.254. Assign IP address in this range to each K6CM device.
The same IP address can not be assigned to more than one device.
The default value of the IP address of type K6CM device is "192.168.250.10" common to all models.
With the subnet mask of all K6CM devices set to "255.255.255.0“, Ethernet communications
can be performed because devices are in the same network (i.e., segment), if an IP address
is between 192.168.250.1 and 192.168.250.254.
