Enwatch is a distributed network system providing 16 channels of analog
inputs together with 4 trigger channels. The unit includes signal conditioning
and analog to digital conversion. It allows you to connect 16 two-wire ICP or
other sensors into your Emonitor Online system. Each Enwatch unit is a
microprocessor-based system, complete with network controller that carries
out data acquisition tasks as directed by an Emonitor unload station. A typical
diagram for an Enwatch unit is shown in Figure 1.1, below.

2 Installing the Enwatch
Installation
The Enwatch unit is easy to install. The enclosure is mounted using four
screws. Cables are terminated on removable screw terminal blocks, making
installation and service simple. Network cables are terminated on the board
using a a standard RJ-45 connector.
Each Enwatch board has four status LEDs to monitor system activity. In the
unlikely event of a system problem, a portable PC can be used to diagnose the
problem using the RS-232 serial interface on each Enwatch board.
Prior to installation, the only set-up required is to assign an IP address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway IP address (if available) to the node. This must be a unique
address on the network. You assign the IP address by connecting a terminal
(or PC in terminal mode) to the on-board RS-232 port and using the on-board
monitor program. See “Setting Up an Enwatch Unit” on page 11 for more
information.
Electrical
The circuit board is a completely self-contained 16-channel analog input to
Ethernet interface, including power regulation and local communication
facilities. A block diagram of the board is shown in Figure 1.1 on page 1. Each
block of the diagram is described below.
• ICP interface - Each of the 16 channels has its own ICP interface that
is capable of powering a typical two-wire ICP transducer. The nominal
voltage is 24 V with a constant current of 3.6 mA. A typical transducer
has a bias voltage value of around 11 V, so that the system can
accommodate a full ±10V input range. The ICP interface can be
disabled for AC and DC coupling of voltage signals.
• Multiplexer - The multiplexer circuit selects one of the 16 input
channels under software control. All inputs are over-voltage and ESD
protected.
• High pass filters - Four software-programmable high-pass filters
(0.36 Hz, 2.67 Hz, 5.3 Hz, and 23.8 Hz) are available to remove
unwanted low frequency signals.
• Integrator - An on-board hardware integrator is available for getting a
velocity measurement from an accelerometer, as well as displacement
from a velocity sensor. The host software can perform a second level of
integration if required.
• Spike Energy™ function (gSE™) - gSE provides a conditioned
signal suitable for measurement of bearing condition.
• Anti-aliasing filter - This filter removes high-frequency components
from the incoming analog signal that might alias back into the sampled
signal, resulting in incorrect data in the spectrum. The filter has a very
high roll-off and removes all alias effects in standard sampling/spectral
analysis applications.
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
Installing the Enwatch 3
• Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) - The ADC samples up to
51.2 kHz and has 16-bit resolution, providing a theoretical dynamic
range of 96 dB.
• Clock generator - The timer varies the sampling rate under
microprocessor control. Sampling can be synchronized to one of 4
external triggers (typically a once-per-rev TTL signal from a rotating
shaft). This system can also take a preprogrammed number of samples
per revolution. The external trigger acts as a tachometer to determine
shaft speed. Pre and post-trigger functions are available.
• Gain amplifier - The Enwatch unit automatically sets the input gain in
auto-range mode as each channel is selected by the multiplexer.
• Microprocessor subsystem - This comprises the microprocessor,
flash memory, and SRAM memory. The microprocessor controls the
Enwatch unit under instructions stored in the flash memory. The SRAM
memory acts as a temporary data storage area if buffering is required
before data is transferred over the network.
• Watchdog - The microprocessor subsystem incorporates a watchdog
facility that, if a power glitch or other external effect interrupts the
system, automatically resets without the need for user intervention.
• Ethernet controller/buffer memory/10Base-T - These functions
control data transfer over the Ethernet network. The system uses the
UDP/IP standard protocol and implements 10 Base-T as the physical
network layer.
• Power regulation - Input DC power is derived from an AC to DC
converter (not shown in Figure 1.1) and the Power Regulation function
provides the secondary DC voltages as required.

Trigger Isolation Jumpers
Four jumpers, JP17 to JP20, are sited on the board to enable the four trigger
inputs to be isolated or non-isolated. Non-isolated means the common of the
trigger input can be connected to the common of the Enwatch unit. With a
jumper removed, the trigger is isolated. Table 1.13 summarizes the jumper
positions.

IMPORTANT
If an external sensor is to be used that is powered from pin
1 of J3, J4, J5 or J6, then the jumper corresponding to the
trigger channel must be inserted to provide a ground return
path for the sensor power.
Normal Operation versus Monitor Mode
The Enwatch unit incorporates an on-board monitor program for checking
the unit and modifying the system’s IP address. Inserting a jumper in JP21
enters into monitor mode.

Serial Port (RS-232)
An RS-232 compatible serial port is available on connector J11 for providing
local communication with the board (independent of the Ethernet network).
Only RXD and TXD lines are supported, and so a null modem cable must be
used. An on-board software monitor is provided to communicate through the
serial port.
If you do not use a 9-pin female to female null modem cable, the
recommended cable connection to a PC is shown in Table 1.15.

Supply Voltage
Incoming supply voltage to the power supply is 80 to 240 VAC / 50 or 60 Hz.
The power supply should be rated for a minimum of 1 A. If you have an
ISSUE F board, set the AC to DC power supply output voltage to 9 VDC. All
ISSUE G boards and higher, require a 24 VDC power supply. The power
supply that comes with the ISSUE G boards is pre set to 24 VDC and should
not be adjusted.
WARNING
TIP
Never attempt to connect the ISSUE F board to a 24V
power supply as doing this will damage the board. Always
ensure you have the proper power supply for the board
ISSUE you are using. The 24VDC power supply for ISSUE
G and higher boards has a yellow label that is marked
24VDC. The 12VDC power supply for ISSUE F boards
has a blue label that is marked 12VDC.
The ISSUE letter is located on the board. ISSUE F is
located at the bottom edge of the board near the J2
connector. See Figure 1.2 on page 4.
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
The ISSUE letter for ISSUE G and higher boards is
located in the upper left corner of the board, near the J8
connector.
Installing the Enwatch 11
Flash Memory
If it is necessary to change the firmware, the flash memory is located in
position U20 and U28 (see Figure 1.2 on page 4). This flash memory is socket
mounted to allow you to change the EPROM. Make sure that the orientation
of the chip is correct when installing.
On Board Monitor
Setting Up an Enwatch Unit
When you insert a jumper into JP21, the Enwatch unit operates in its internal
monitor mode. This enables you to change the IP address as well as modify
other options. To invoke monitor mode, connect a terminal (or PC computer
in terminal mode) to the serial port and insert a jumper at position JP21.
Remove the power and then reconnect the power to reset the unit. A sign-on
message appears on the terminal together with a list of options (described in
“Setting Up an Enwatch Unit”, below).
To exit monitor mode, simply remove the jumper at position JP21, then
remove and reconnect the power to reset the unit.
Before installation, make sure you have plant specific IP network addresses
available for each Enwatch unit. For convenience write them down here.
IP Address 1: ____________________ IP Address 6: ____________________
IP Address 2: ____________________ IP Address 7: ____________________
IP Address 3: ____________________ IP Address 8: ____________________
IP Address 4: ____________________ IP Address 9: ____________________
IP Address 5: ____________________ IP Address 10: ___________________
You should also know the Subnet Mask and Gateway IP address (if available)
for each Enwatch unit.
1. Attach the Enwatch unit to the test computer via the RS-232 (serial)
port using a null modem cable.
2. Make sure the jumper in the middle of the Enwatch unit board is
inserted (JP21).
3. Start up any terminal program (Winterm, QVT/Term, Procomm,
etc.…) and set it up to communicate through the serial port at 9600
Baud, No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

IntegratorOne level of hardware integration
The hardware has a gain factor of:
2.67/f for the 0.36 Hz and the 2.67 Hz filter ranges (INTHI = 0)
38.9/f for the 5.3 Hz and 23.7 Hz filter ranges (INTHI = 1)
To convert from g->ips:
Velocity (ips peak) = [integrator output (volts peak)] x [1 / (gain factor)] x [accel scale factor
(g peak / mv peak)] x [61.24 / frequency]

Setting Up Sample Measurements
This section gives examples of setting up measurement definitions in
Emonitor.
DC or other Numeric measurements
Suppose you have a transducer with an output of -2 V to 2 V and a linear scale
from -10° F to 100° F. How do you set up the transducer in Emonitor?
If the volts reading is R, then the data stored in Emonitor is:
(R / calibration + DC offset)
Input range volts: (X, Y)
Scale value: (A, B) volts
Data in Emonitor = (R - X) x ((B-A) / (Y-X)) + A
Calibration value in transducer setup: [(Y-X) x 1000mv / eu]/(B-A)
DC Offset in transducer setup: A - (B-A) x X / (Y-X)
EXAMPLE
In Emonitor, select Setup>Calibration and set up the calibration for the
Temperature transducer.
Input range: (-1.31 V, +0.87 V)
Scale value: (100° F, 200° F)
Calibration: [(0.87 - (-1.31)) x 1000] / (200 - 100) = 21.8
Offset: 100 - (200 - 100) x (-1.31) / (0.87-(-1.31)) = 160.09
Input type should be DC coupled and the jumper setting
on board needs to be set as DC couple as well.
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
26 Installing the Enwatch
Then select Setup>Transducer to select the “Temperature” transducer in the
collection specification.
In Emonitor, define a numeric measurement definition with the temperature
units and the “Temperature” collection specification.
Transducer bias reading
Enwatch can take transducer bias readings; however, this is not a transducer
check function that detects transducer failure before taking data. The bias
reading is an independent reading with a different signal path on the Enwatch
board.
First in Emonitor, select Setup>Transducer to define a new transducer
name, for example, “Transducer Check.”
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
Installing the Enwatch 27
Then select Setup>Calibration to select “Bias Voltage” as the input type for
this transducer. The calibration should set to 1000 and the offset to 0.
Then select Setup>Collection to define a new collection specification. Select
“Transducer Check” as the transducer.
In Emonitor, define a numeric measurement definition with Vdc units and the
“Transducer Bias” collection specification.

Saving the machine speed with a spectrum
In the Hardware Setup program, when adding or editing an Enwatch unit,
click the Trigger Channel tab.
The Timeout is defined in seconds (the default is 5 seconds). The Number of pulse per rev default is 1 pulse per revolution. Click the Channel tab and
assign the correct Trigger channel to the vibration channel. This example
uses trigger channel 1 for the measurement on input channel 1.
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
When the Enwatch unit collects data for channel 1, the unit checks trigger
channel 1 to get the machine speed reading. The speed reading comes back
with time waveform data and gets stored into the database with the vibration
data.
Installing the Enwatch 29
Magnitude and phase reading
A magnitude/phase reading is similar to any other data collector in Emonitor.
You set up an overall measurement, using the “Mag & Phase” collection
specification. Then select “1st Order” as the measurement filter (or any other
desired order).
Validating Enwatch measurements
In the Hardware Setup program, when adding or editing an Enwatch unit, you
can set up a validation function to allow the driver to check the channel’s data
before updating the database. This function can be used to filter unwanted
data when the machine is not running, or when some other parameter is not
within the correct bounds.
Click the Channel tab, then double-click in the Val id ate column to set up the
validation parameters.
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
30 Installing the Enwatch
You can reference any channel and there is no order you need to follow.
Order normalized measurements
You enable order normalized measurements in the collection specification. In
Emonitor, select Setup>Collection. Then either edit an existing collection
specification or create a new one. Make sure the Order normalization
checkbox is selected. The Enwatch unit then finds the machine speed and
Publication GMSI10-UM031C-EN-E - January 2009
Installing the Enwatch 31
applies it to the number of orders to select the proper sampling rate before
collecting data.
IMPORTANT
You must also define a trigger channel for the Enwatch
channel so that the Enwatch unit can find the machine
speed.
How are DSP functions handled in the Enwatch driver?
The Enwatch unit only takes time domain data and returns that data to the
host software. All DSP functions are done by the host driver. In this way, the
firmware can focus on data collection speed. Since Enwatch does not handle
calculating the average time waveform, the host driver software must tell the
Enwatch unit to collect a time waveform of sufficient length in order to
calculate the average.

Limitation on number of points in Enwatch
The Enwatch unit has 640 K bytes memory for data storage. If you attempt to
collect data on more points than can fit in memory, the unit returns an error
message. The message appears in the Unload Station Manager window (refer
to the Online Applications Guide for more on the Unload Station Manager). The
Enwatch driver can combine measurements in some cases (see “Combining
measurements in the Enwatch driver” on page 21).
If a route has 5 points per channel and 400 lines, 4 averages, no overlap
averaging:
Bytes required: 5 points x 16 channels x 1024 bin x 2 byte/bin x 4 averages =
655360 bytes
If a route has 2 points per channel and 800 lines, 4 averages, no overlap
averaging:
Bytes required: 2 points x 16 channels x 2048 bin x 2 byte/bin x 4 averages =
524288 bytes
Configuration of Emonitor
with Enwatch
To best use the 640K memory, try to use overlap averaging. For examples, see
“Maximum number of averages that can be supported” on page 24.
The Enwatch unit is specially designed to operate over an Ethernet
connection. Each Enwatch unit has a unique IP address that can be changed
through the RS232 port inside the unit. Ideally, one Enwatch unload station
can serve an unlimited number of Enwatch units. However, to improve unload
speed, multiple Enwatch unload stations are suggested.
Each Enwatch unit has 16 vibration channels and 4 tachometer channels. In
addition, the Allen Bradley Enlive software (live mode analysis) can be used to
“lock onto” one channel at a time. During live mode analysis, regularly
scheduled unload continues to unload whatever data is in the Enwatch unit
buffers before entering live mode analysis. The Enlive software has a default
timeout of 30 minutes to prevent an extended break in unloading scheduled
data.
For more information on setting up an Enwatch unit in an Emonitor system,
refer to the Online Applications Guide provided with your Emonitor online
system.
