CDM-VW300 2通道动态振弦式接口
Services Available

概览

The CDM-VW300 is a two-channel interface that you can use between standard single-coil circuit vibrating wire sensors and data loggers to allow shorter intervals between measurements. With the CDM-VW300 interface, you can achieve much faster and better measurements without having to purchase new sensors. Sensors typically used with the CDM-VW300 are strain gages, load cells, pressure transducers, crackmeters, and tiltmeters. 

This interface uses an excitation mechanism that maintains the vibrating wire sensor in a continuously vibrating state. The interface measures the resonant frequency of the wire between excitations using the patented vibrating wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®). VSPECT® provides very fine measurement resolution and also limits the influence of external noise by discriminating between signal and noise based on frequency content. Because of this technology, the signal can be carried through longer cables, giving you flexibility in your sensor and data logger siting.

You can connect multiple CDM-VW300 modules to one data logger. The CDM-VW305 is similar to this item, but it has eight channels.

The dynamic vibrating wire measurement technique is protected under U.S. Patent No. 8,671,758, and the vibrating wire spectral-analysis technology (VSPECT®) is protected under U.S. Patent No. 7,779,690.

技术说明

除动态振弦测量,CDM-VW300还可用于其它测量。随动态测量一同产生的每秒一次的静态振弦测量,它提供了更精细的测量分辨率和对外部噪声源的更强的抗干扰能力。CDM-VW300还包括与每个振弦通道相对应的热敏电阻输入通道,1 Hz频率时提供高达24位高精度的测量结果。最后,提供一组丰富的诊断参数与振弦数据。

CDM-VW300拥有简单的后处理数据的能力,这点通过计算内部共同值来完成。振弦数据以测量频率来显示,或者以乘数和偏移量行程方波来显示。热敏电阻的数据显示为阻抗或利用Steinhart-Hart系数转换成摄氏度来显示。CDM-VW300也可根据最终数据编译降雨流量柱状图,也可按用户指定的间隔报告数值。

Additional Compatibility Information

Data Logger Considerations

The SC-CPI Datalogger Serial-to-CPI Interface is required to connect the CDM-VW300 to a compatible data logger (except the CR6). A 5-conductor cable connects the data logger to the SC-CPI, and an Ethernet cable connects the SC-CPI to the CDM-VW300.

Multiplexers

The CDM-VW300 is not designed to work with multiplexers.

CPI Calculator v.1.0 (2.49 MB) 06-07-2016

The CPI Calculator is a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet used to estimate the usage and capacity of a CPI network.  The calculator provides an overview on CPI devices including the CDM-A108, CDM-A116, CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305, and the CSAT3B.  The calculator can also estimate the measurement speed of the CDM-A108 and CDM-A116 based on the number of channels and measurement parameters.

 

The CPI Calculator is an estimation tool and will help you better understand and design CPI networks by considering the following:

  1. What is the capability of each CDM or CPI device
  2. What is the CPI network capacity
  3. How much of the CPI capacity are the CDMs or CPI devices using

CR800 OS v.32.07 (4.41 MB) 15-05-2024

Execution of this download installs the CR800 Operating System and Compiler on your computer.  It also updates the CR800 support files for the CRBasic Editor.  

Note: This OS has crossed the 2 Meg CR800 size limit for remote download.  The OS must be downloaded to the 2 Meg CR800 via direct connect with the Device Configuration Utility.  All OS download methods are supported by the 4 Meg CR800.

Upgrading from versions prior to version 28 of the Operating System will reset the datalogger’s CPU drive.  This is due to a change in the format of the file system from FAT16 to FAT32.  In order for the datalogger to operate correctly, as part of the upgrade, the CPU drive is formatted to FAT32.  Any programs stored and running from the CPU drive will be lost.  It is not recommended to update the datalogger’s Operating System over a remote connection where program control regulates the communication equipment (turning it on or off, etc.).  In these cases, an on-site visit and a backup using DevConfig’s backup utility is necessary to update the datalogger’s Operating System.

Watch the Video Tutorial: Sending an OS to a Local Datalogger.

In all cases where the datalogger is being updated from an Operating System prior to 28, the use of DevConfig’s backup utility is recommended due to the CPU drive being formatted using the new FAT32 format.

常见问题解答

CDM-VW300: 8

展开全部收起全部

  1. The CDM-VW300 offers two channels for simultaneous reading of two vibrating wire sensors, whereas the CDM-VW305 offers eight channels for simultaneous measurements. Other than the number of channels supported, both models operate identically.

  2. These devices work with vibrating wire strain gages, load cells, pressure transducers, crackmeters, and tiltmeters. Any standard, single-coil circuit vibrating wire sensor should work with these devices.

  3. The frequency outputs generated by the CDM-VW300 or CDM-VW305 can be scaled with known sensor response functions, which are provided by the manufacturer of the sensor. These frequency conversions are used to obtain measurement outputs expressed in the desired engineering units.

  4. Yes. When more than eight channels are needed in a system, multiple CDM-VW300-series devices can be connected to the same data logger.

    • Each CDM-VW300 device provides two terminals. 
    • Each CDM-VW305 device provides eight terminals.

    Any combination of CDM-VW300 and CDM-VW305 devices can be used to achieve the desired number of total terminals.

    The list below, ordered by data logger and measurement rate, indicates the maximum number of supported terminals:

    • CR3000, 100 Hz: 8 terminals
    • CR3000, 50 Hz: 24 terminals
    • CR3000, 20 Hz: 48 terminals
       
    • CR1000, 100 Hz: not supported
    • CR1000, 50 Hz: 8 terminals
    • CR1000, 20 Hz: 32 terminals
       
    • CR800-series, 100 Hz: not supported
    • CR800-series, 50 Hz: 8 terminals
    • CR800-series, 20 Hz: 32 terminals
  5. To communicate with CDM devices using the CPI protocol, the CR3000, CR1000, CR850, and CR800 dataloggers require an SC-CPI device. Only one SC-CPI device per data logger is required. It is expected that the design of future Campbell Scientific data logger products will work with CPI-based modules directly.

  6. The communications protocol used by CDM devices is the CAN Peripheral Interface (CPI), which includes methods that are proprietary to Campbell Scientific.
  7. CDM-VW300-series devices can measure vibrating wire sensors at the following rates: 1 Hz, 20Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, and 333.3 Hz. CDM-VW300-series devices are designed for measurement periods of 1 s or less.

  8. Yes. Specific types of sensor measurements can be examined and evaluated before the system is deployed to a field site. A data logger is not used for this type of evaluation. Connect the CDM-VW300-series device directly to a computer using a USB cable. Using DVWTool software (specialized software included with the CDM-VW300 or CDM-VW305), the outputs of the attached vibrating wire sensors can be observed, and the CDM device can be configured appropriately.
