概览

Granite™ VWire 305 是一个用于标准振动线传感器动态测量的八通道接口。使用VWire 305接口,您可以以“动态”速率操作任何标准振弦传感器,以实现更快、更好的测量,而无需购买或安装新的传感器。

该接口使用获得专利的频谱振弦分析技术(VSPECT®)测量激励之间导线的谐振频率。VSPECT提供了非常精细的测量分辨率,并通过基于频率内容区分信号和噪声来限制外部噪声的影响。信号可以在更恶劣的噪声环境中通过更长的电缆传输,使您在传感器和数据采集系统的选址方面具有灵活性,同时提供传感器诊断。

技术说明

In addition to the dynamic vibrating wire measurement, the VWire 305 makes several auxiliary measurements. A static vibrating wire measurement is made once each second, along with the dynamic measurements, which provides finer measurement resolution and greater immunity to external noise sources. The VWire 305 includes a thermistor input channel paired with each vibrating wire channel, featuring high-precision 24-bit measurements at a 1 Hz rate. Unique to the VSPECT® technology, a rich set of diagnostic parameters is provided with the vibrating wire data.

The VWire 305 has the capability to simplify post-processing of data by computing common values internally. Vibrating wire data can be reported as measured frequency or as the frequency squared with a multiplier and offset applied. The thermistor data is reported as resistance or is converted to degrees Celsius using the thermistor’s Steinhart-Hart coefficients. The VWire 305 can also internally compile rainflow histograms from the final data and report the values at user-specified intervals.

Vibrating Wire Inputs

Each channel has two terminals for connecting to the coil of the vibrating wire sensor. Both vibrating wire terminals are labeled VW, and the polarity of the wiring is arbitrary. The sensor is excited and measured through the same connections. Sinusoidal excitation is applied for a few cycles of the wire oscillation. The wire is maintained in a continuously vibrating state. Excitation voltage varies automatically to maintain the desired return signal strength.

Thermistor Inputs

Each channel has two terminals for connecting to the thermistor. Both thermistor terminals are labeled T, and the polarity of the wiring is arbitrary. The measurement is a half-bridge configuration with the excitation circuitry and completion resistor integrated into the module.

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

 

常见问题解答

Granite VWire 305: 2

  1. A maximum of 15 VWire 305 modules can be connected to a single CPI bus. For applications requiring more than 15 modules, the options are to purchase another CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger or to use a Granite™9 Measurement and Control Data-Acquisition System that supports two independent CPI busses.

  2. The default CPI bus speed setting is 250 kB/s. The speed is adjustable in your CRBasic data logger program. Use the CPISpeed() instruction in your CRBasic program to adjust the CPI bus bandwidth to meet the following maximum combined (total) Ethernet cable lengths:

    • 1000 kB/s for maximum combined Ethernet cable lengths of 15.2 m (50.0 ft)
    • 500 kB/s for maximum combined Ethernet cable lengths of 61.0 m (200.0 ft)
    • 250 kB/s for maximum combined Ethernet cable lengths of 152.4 m (500.0 ft)
