Setting Up Sample Measurements
This section gives examples of setting up measurement definitions in the
Emonitor software.
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 the Emonitor
software?
If the volts reading is R, then the data stored in the Emonitor software is:
(R / calibration + DC offset)
Input range volts: (X, Y)
Scale value: (A, B) volts
Data in the Emonitor software = (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)
Input type should be DC coupled and the jumper setting on board needs to be set
as DC couple as well.
1. In the Emonitor software, select Setup>Calibration and set up the
calibration for the Temperature transducer.
Rockwell Automation Publication GMSI10-IN001A-EN-P - May 2013
Enwatch Unit 21
2. Select Setup>Tr a n s d u c e r to select the “Temperature” transducer in the
collection specification.
3. In the Emonitor software, define a numeric measurement definition with
the temperature units and the “Temperature” collection specification.
Transducer Bias Reading
The Enwatch board 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.
1. In the Emonitor software, select Setup>Transducer.
2. To define a new transducer name (for example, “Transducer Check”) click
New.
3. Enter a name and click OK.
Rockwell Automation Publication GMSI10-IN001A-EN-P - May 2013
22 Enwatch Unit
4. Select Setup>Calibration to select “Bias Voltage” as the input type for
this transducer. Set the calibration to 1000 and the offset to 0.
5. Click OK.
6. Select Setup>Collection to define a new collection specification. Select
“Transducer Check” as the transducer.
7. In the Emonitor software, define a numeric measurement definition with
V DC units and the “Transducer Bias” collection specification.
Magnitude And Phase Reading
A magnitude/phase reading is similar to any other data collector in the Emonitor
software. Use the “Mag & Phase” collection specification to set up an overall
measurement. Then select “1st Order” as the measurement filter (or any other
desired order).
Rockwell Automation Publication GMSI10-IN001A-EN-P - May 2013
Enwatch Unit 23
Order Normalized Measurements
Enable order normalized measurements in the collection specification.
1. In the Emonitor software, select Setup>Collection.
2. Edit an existing collection specification or create a new one.
3. Veri fy tha t Order normalization is checked.
The Enwatch unit then finds the machine speed and 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

DSP Functions in the Enwatch Driver
The Enwatch unit takes only 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. Because the Enwatch board 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 to calculate the
average.
Limitation on the Number of Points in the Enwatch Unit
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 17).
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
To best use the 640K memory, try to use overlap averaging. For examples, see
“Maximum number of averages that can be supported” on page 19.

with Emonitor Software
Add an Enwatch Unload Station
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 Emonitor User's Guide, publication
The Unload Station Manager is a graphical representation of all of the Enwatch
units on your network. It is used for Enwatch configuration of Enwatch IP
addresses, subnet address, and mapping measurement points to Enwatch
channels.

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.
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.

Validating Enwatch Measurements
To add or edit 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 Va l i d a t e column to set up the
validation parameters.
You can reference any channel in any order.
