２．３ Instructions for field measurement

When installing the device together with the switch box “FSW-10” for long-term measurement on the fixed location, be sure to ground correctly. Also, if there is a risk of lightning stroke, be sure to ground correctly.

Grounding

Lightning protection

In fields where cables between a switch box and a sensor are extended, pulse generated by powerful induction of lightning stroke may cause serious damage on sensor, switch boxes, and measurement devices and even break them even if they are not hit by lightning stroke directly. Therefore, proper countermeasures against lightning are essential. Cable layout For sensor cables, use rubber coated or shield coated cables for converters. In order to minimize

differences of induction voltages against the ground, avoid air wiring, and lay wires down on the ground. If it is impossible to lay them down on the ground (for example if cables are installed around steel towers), use the arrester for sensors mentioned in the next article.

Arrester for sensor NZ-6B is the 6-wire system arrester for sensor and also applied to strain gauges.

Insert the arrester near the sensor as much as possible.

Connect the earth wire to the GND terminal. Use a thick earth wire as much as possible and ground with the shortest length. Grounding is effective for noise from lightning or heavy equipments.

If peal of thunder is near, or there is a risk of lightning stroke, stop the wiring works for grounding or power source, and operation of the measurement device and depart from the machines. If being hit by a stroke of lightning during these works, you may get an electric shock, get burned, or even die.

４．３ Initial value processing

4-7


“Initial-in” is the function to save current measurement values in the device. It is used to take the initial unbalanced value (initial value) of the strain gauge or the strain gauge converter from measurement values, and to display proper values. The initial unbalanced value means a signal generated by slight misalignment of gauge resistor values, which arises even when no external force is applied. In case of displacement gauges or other similar gauges, they execute initial-in at the basic point when they measure variation based on the installation point. As a result, they can acquire relative variation from the basic point.

There are two indication types available for displaying measurement values: “Measure value”, the value from which the initial value is excluded ([M] or [m] is attached to data on the monitor display); and “Direct value”, the value in which the initial value is included ([D] is attached to data on the monitor display). Similar to strain measurement, displaying values that do not include the initial value is allowed for voltage measurement. However, thermocouples and platinum resistance thermometers, which are used for measuring temperature, cannot display values that do not include the initial value.

Initial-in

This function takes the initial value for a scanning channel currently being measured. Refer to “4.4 Setting the scanning channel” for scanning channel.

①Press the 【F1】 key on the monitor screen to go to “Process of initial value”.

②Move the cursor (reversed indication) with the 【】【】 keys and press the 【ENT】 key, or press 【1】 of the ten keys to go to “Initial-in”.

③ The confirmation message appears. Move the cursor to “Ok” with the 【】

【】 keys and press the 【ENT】 key.

④The initial value is taken and the result is displayed as a measurement value

(D changes to M).

When the initial-in is 【Prohibited】, the initial value cannot be taken.

５．３ Coefficient, indication digits, and unit

5-6


Parameters

In order to measure stress, load, displacement, and pressure with a strain gauge or a strain gauge converter and display those data by physical value, setting of the parameters shown below (coefficient, unit, and indication digits) is necessary.

Parameter setting example

When correcting a gauge rate: Example) In case of gauge rate: KG=2.13

2.000/2.13＝0.939, set the coefficient as follows: Coefficient=0.939

When measuring a simple stress: Example) In case of gauge rate: KG=1.98 and Young's modulus: E=2100000 kgf/cm2 （steel）

Since 2.000/1.98×2100000×10-6 = 2.121, set the coefficient as follows: Coefficient = 2.121

5-7

When converting indication on load cell to direct reading of physical value: Example) Load cell with the rated capacity: 5kN, and the rated output: 2mV/V:

* For a load cell for which the rated output is expressed as mV/V, calculate the strain such as: 1 mV/V＝2000×10-6. When the strain is 2mV/V×2000 = 4000×10-6, 5 kN/4000×10-6 strain＝0.00125. The indication value can be converted to a direct reading of physical value when the parameters are set as follows: Coefficient = 1.250×10-3, Unit = kN, and Indication digits = ###.###

When converting indication on displacement gauge to direct reading of physical value:

Example) Displacement gauge with the rated capacity: 25 mm, and the rated output: 6.25 mV/V:

When the strain is 6.25mV/V×2000 = 12500×10-6, 25/12500×10-6 strain = 0.002. The indication value can be converted to a direct reading of physical value when the parameters are set as follows: Coefficient = 2.000×10-3, Unit = mm, and Indication digits = ###.###

5-18

Goto Step

Goto Step is the function to move to a specified step. You can use this function to repeat interval measurement. With this function, the device executes interval measurement for Step 01 to Step 03 and then, executes similar steps again. For example, when you set as follows:

Step Content Number of cycles

01 Measure at interval of 01-hour, 00-minute, and 00-second Once

02 Measure at interval of 02-hour, 00-minute, and 00-second Three times

03 Go to Step 01 Twice

The device operates as follow:

Step 1 ① ⑥ ⑪ ↓ ↓ ↓ Step 2 ②→③→④ ⑦→⑧→⑨ ⑫→⑬→⑭ ↓ ↓ Step 3 ⑤ ⑩

[Example to Perform Repeated Measurement at 00 minute and 00 second, Every Hour] Make setting of [Jump to Step Number 01] at Step 02 and set the number of times to infinity. The measurement will be done at every 00 minute, 00 second repeatedly with this setting. It is also possible to set a number to the number of repetition portion.

Note For real-time start, when you set “**” in Date, and a specified time, pay attention to timing to start measurement.

Example) Measurement at AM0:00, AM6:00, and PM12:00

Step Content Number of cycles

01 Measure at AM0:00, date **

02 Measure at AM6:00, date **

03 Measure at PM12:00, date **

04 Go to Step 01 In this case, measurement is executed at AM0:00, AM6:00, and PM12:00.

Measurement at AM0:00 for Step 01 is executed first, and then, measurement for Step 02 at AM6:00, and Step 03 at PM12:00 are performed sequentially in order of the steps. In other words, even if auto measurement starts according to the real time start function before AM6:00 or PM12:00, measurement operations at AM6:00 and at PM12:00 are not executed unless Step 01 is executed.

When the date 29th, 30th, and 31st of month is set for real-time start, the device does not execute scanning measurement in a month which has no corresponding date.

Note

The repetitive measurement is not

performed if you perform GOTO Step

A monitor comparator monitors (measures using a monitor) a specific channel (a channel being set to Monitor 0) and performs scanning measurement when a measured value has changed for a certain amount (relative value setting) or when the value has exceeded a threshold (upper and lower limit settings). A single step consists of an amount of relative change and the number of repetitions for the relative value setting, and upper and lower limits and the number of repetitions for the upper and lower limit settings. An example of 3-step monitor comparator is given below. The steps are sequentially executed in order of Step 01, Step 02 and Step 03. You can set up to 10 steps.

The operation is shown in the figure below.

As shown in the figure, the comparator performs scanning measurement when a monitor value exceeded the set upper limit during the rise or when it exceeded the set lower limit during the fall. Besides the above, there are [GOTO step] for loop control of steps and [GOTO interval] for shifting to the Step 01 of the interval timer, which is contrary to [GOTO comparator], as functions similar to the interval setting function. *For explanation on [GOTO step] and [GOTO interval], refer to the explanations on [GOTO step] and [GOTO comparator] given previously at the interval measurement setting.

Note

Setting the monitor comparator

The monitor comparator monitors a specific channel (monitor measurement) and performs the scanning measurement whenever the value changes for a certain amount or when a monitor value exceeds the set lower limit. You need to set an amount of relative change, upper and lower limits and the number of repetitions. The following is an example that the scanning measurement is performed when an amount of change exceeds 1000 in the relative value measurement. This condition is further applied until the measurement is completed twice.

To change a value of the set contents, press the [ENT] key. To change the set contents, press the [F1] key.

③Shift the cursor (highlight) to a setting step with the [] or [] key and press the [ENT] key, or press the [F1] key.

④Shift the cursor to “Value” with the [] or [] key and press the [ENT] key.

②Shift the cursor (highlight) with the [] or [] key and press the [ENT] key, or press the [2] key on the numeric keypad, to shift to “Setting of Comparator”.

①On the menu screen, shift the cursor (highlight) with the [] or [] key and press the [ENT] key, or press the [3] key on the numeric keypad, to shift to “Auto measurement”

⑤The content shown in the left has been set. Press the [ENT key] again.


5-25

⑥Shift the cursor on the input digit with the [] or [] key and enter a value using the numeric keypad or with the [] or [] key. Enter endless repeat with the [F3] key. Then, press the [ENT] key.

⑧Shifting to the “Monitor comparator” is inhibited during the monitor comparator measurement. If you want to change or add the step contents, halt the monitor comparator measurement.

⑦Subsequently, set the Step 2 “End of Comparator”.

This completes the setting for monitor comparator measurement.

The measurement can be executed without setting the comparator ending step.

What is an Alarm Output?

The Alarm Output is the function to monitor an assigned channel and to close the assigned contact points when measured value varied for given quantity or exceeds a threshold value (set for upper/lower limits). The monitoring transfers contact points by comparing during monitoring or scanning execution. There are four (4) contact points to output, and are able to set contact points for comparison channel, comparing condition and output ends. It is also possible to make contact points to be ON when either one of contact points was set among multiple channels. Actuation becomes possible when connecting TDS-150 dedicated Alarm Unit, ALM-150 (optional).

Description regarding monitoring on Monitored Value and Scanned Value will be made with examples as shown below;

９．１ Wire connection of strain gauge

9-2

Auto compensation of lead wire is not available even if you perform measurement with CometB. Similar to Comet A, measurement value must be compensated. For more detail, refer to “Compensation by quarter bridge method”.

９．１ Wire connection of strain gauge

This section explains how to connect wires of strain gauge that can be measured. The next section shows decreasing rate of sensitivity due to extension of strain gauge. Quarter bridge 4-wire system

Four lead wires are used to eliminate necessity of gauge rate compensation due to lead wire resistance, and measurement errors caused by contact resistance. This new strain measurement method allows elimination of initial unbalance caused by lead wires and compensation of lead wire temperature.

For the quarter bridge 3-wire method, thickest and shortest electric wires as far as possible are recommended. However, with the quarter bridge 4-wire method, thin lead wires and connectors can be used for connection or extension. As a result, it allows more efficient wiring works, prevents wiring errors, and reduces costs for strain measurement by re-use of lead wires. Quarter bridge 2-wire method (1 gauge)

An internal fixed resistance is used for configuring a bridge circuit around bridge sides except an active gauge (gauge detecting strain).

Lead wire resistance to a strain gauge enters serially only in the active gauge. If a thin wire or long lead wire is used, initial unbalance cannot be eliminated or resistance variation due to temperature change comes into measurement values directly as an apparent strain in some cases. Also, temperature compensation for the strain gauge is not possible. For more accurate measurement, we recommend the quarter bridge 3-wire method.

If shorting the terminal block B and C, you can use the 1G3W sensor mode for measurement; however, the device does not support this way formally.

Quarter bridge 3-wire method (1 gauge) Three parallel lines are used for connection to compensate affection of lead wire by the quarter

bridge 2-wire method. Since resistance of the lead wire enters also in the fixed resistance side of the bridge sides, affection of initial unbalance caused by the lead wire is eliminated and temperature compensation for the lead wire is also possible. However, temperature compensation for the strain gauge is not possible. Half bridge method (2-gauge)

An internal fixed resistance is used for two sides of bridge circuit. A strain gauge of the same lot is used and three parallel lines are used for connection. Temperature compensation for the strain gauge and for the lead wire is possible at the same time, and affection of initial unbalance caused by the lead wire is eliminated. Full bridge method (4-gauge)

Without using an internal fixed resistance, a strain gauge configures all 4 sides of the bridge. This method is used for measurement of converter, torque, and bending, which need large output, but not often used for general stress measurement works. When the bridge is configured at the area where the strain gauge is attached, initial unbalance and affection of temperature can be eliminated even when the lead wire is extended.

９．２ Sensitivity deterioration due to sensor cable extension

9-3


Measurement by constant voltage method Generally, the constant voltage method, with constant bridge impressed voltage is used for

measuring strain. When a sensor cable between a switch box and a strain gauge converter is extended, this method causes deterioration of sensitivity because the voltage decreases by the cable resistance and depresses the impressed voltage to the converter. The illustration below shows an equivalent circuit in a case where the 4GAGE method is used for extending a sensor cable.

In case of the quarter bridge 2-wire method, half bridge common dummy method, and full bridge method, a true value excluding sensitivity deterioration caused by lead wires is calculated by the following formula:

True value ＝ Measurement value×

In case of the quarter bridge 3-wire method, and half bridge (3-wire) method, lead wire resistance entered in one side is on the mate side, and a true value is calculated by the following formula:

True value ＝ Measurement value×

In case of the quarter bridge 3-wire method, when Comet B is set for the compensation method, this device measures lead wire resistance and you can acquire correct measurement values compensated properly.

When Comet A or B is set, the device activates compensation including initial values. Therefore, the compensation calculation formulas above are not appropriate. For more detail, refer to the page 7 of Chapter 10, “Compensation by quarter bridge 3-wire method”.

Measurement by constant current method Since constant impressed current is maintained under the constant current method, voltage impressed to

a converter is always constant even when the cable resistance changes. Therefore, deterioration of sensitivity can be ignored. The bridge output voltage “e” under the constant voltage method is calculated as: ｅ＝・k・ε・( )

Compared with the case where the cable is not extended (r＝0), × ( ) output is deteriorated. When the current I is constant under the constant current method, ｅ＝・k・ε and the resistance “r” of the extension cable does not affect on the calculation result. However, in actual cases of sensor cable extension, capacitance (C), inductance (L) or other elements are added on the resistance (R) element, therefore, a pulse impression type data logger like this device generates a slight deterioration of sensitivity even under the constant current method. Also, as voltage at the input terminal changes in proportion with the bridge input resistance “Rg”, it is necessary to compensate by input resistance values of the converter to be used, when more appropriate.

The sensor mode of the constant current system on this device is “4GAGE C350Ω”. All other strain measurement sensor modes are the constant voltage method. The sensor mode of the constant current system is calibrated so that the device provides correct sensitivity when a full bridge converter with 350Ω of nominal input resistance is connected. When a converter with 350Ω or less is connected, rather low measurement values are displayed, and when a converter with 350Ω or more is connected, rather high measurement values are displayed. Also, when input resistance including the extended cable becomes 750Ω (standard resolution mode) or more, the bridge power is saturated and further measurement is impossible (approximately 5.6Km by a cable with the sectional area 0.5mm２). If input resistance of the converter is largely out of 350Ω, compensate the resistance with the following formula:

True value ＝ Measurement value× Example) Converter with input resistance 355Ω

True value=measurement value× ≒Measurement value×0.986 So, the coefficient “0.986” is set for the measurement device side. Our sensor products normally have “Attached input/output code list”, and functions described in the test result sheet such as “Input resistance” and “Sensitivity” are the values of the input/output code ends.

Comet：Complete Compensation Method of Strain Compensation by quarter bridge 3-wire method

When a strain gauge is used for measuring strain, usually a Wheatstone bridge of which bridge construction side includes the strain gauge is configured for measurement of its resistance variation.

If the AB side of the bridge is the active gauge as shown in the illustration above, the output

voltage “ｅ” is not completely proportional to the strain “ε”. This device provides three types of operation to compensate errors automatically (refer to the page 25 of Chapter 5, “Comet setting” for selection procedure). The device activates the compensation operations only when the sensor mode setting is quarter bridge 3-wire method.

The specification of bridge power source voltage of TC-32K is 1V. However, to make TC-32K compatible with calibrators and other measurement devices, its bridge output voltage is compensated.

Comet NON The following compensation operation is performed with the conventional compensation method:

ε＝ ----- ・ -------------------

The gauge rate K＝2.00 is used for the compensation operation. At the time of direct measurement, the strain value “εD” from which the initial unbalance value is not subtracted is calculated by the operation with the header [D]: At the time of Measure measurement, the strain value “εＭ” from which the initial unbalance value is subtracted is calculated by the following operation with the header [M]: Comet A

This compensation method is to compensate non-linear error cased by initial unbalance of bridge, and effective when the initial unbalance value is large. The bridge output voltage “ｅ０” due to initial unbalance is measured at the time of initial-in and recorded internally. The bridge output voltage “ｅ” under the strain occurrence state at the time of measurement is measured and the following compensation operation is performed:

ε＝------- ・ ------------------------------------------------

The gauge rate K＝2.00 is used for the compensation operation.

At the time of measurement, the strain value “εｍ” from which the initial unbalance value is subtracted is calculated by the operation with the header [m]:

When the Comet A operation is performed, the compensation operation including the initial unbalance values recorded at the time of initial-in from the formula above is activated, so only the Measure measurement is available. Before measurement, execute initial-in under the initial unbalance state for starting measurement. Comet B (quarter bridge 3-wire method only)

At the same time with the Comet A compensation method, this method is used to compensate deterioration of sensitivity caused by lead wire. The device measures and stores internally the bridge output voltage “ｅ０” under the initial unbalance, and the both-end voltage of lead wire resistance “ｅｒ” at the time of initial-in. The bridge output voltage “ｅ” under the strain occurrence state at the time of measurement is measured and the following compensation operation is performed:

ε＝ -------- ・ ------------------------------------------------

The gauge rate K＝2.00 is used for the compensation operation. At the time of measurement, the strain value “εｍ” from which the initial unbalance value is

subtracted is calculated by the operation with the header [m]: When the Comet B operation is performed, the compensation operation including the initial

unbalance values and both-end voltage of lead wire resistance recorded at the time of initial-in from the formula is activated, so only the Measure measurement is available. Before measurement, execute initial-in under the initial unbalance state for starting measurement.

９．４ Lead wire resistance

9-9

To use Comet A and B for measurement, you must perform initial-in to measure e0 (initial unbalance value) and er (both-end voltage of lead wire resistance) as shown in the compensation operations. The initial value and lead wire resistance value (Comet B) are measured in the initial-in process (without e0 and er, which are not measured in the initial-in process, no correct measurement is enabled).

Since the measurement process under the Comet A and B setting includes the compensation operation, a channel of which sensor mode is the quarter bridge 3-wire method is automatically set as the measure mode.

Corrective operation following to the setting is performed at 1 gauge dedicated Network Module (NSW-011, NSW-011B and NSW-011C) but function to measure lead-wire resistive voltage is not available. The measured value at Comet-B Setting is calculated as er = 0.

The function to measure lead-wire resistive voltage is not available for FSW-21C/FSW-21R.

The measured value at Comet-B Setting is calculated as er = 0.

９．４ Lead wire resistance

When using the quarter bridge 3-wire method, you can calculate a lead wire resistance value at the time of initial-in and a current lead wire resistance, based on the lead wire resistance data list and the lead wire resistance check values with the following formula: Based on data “er0”in the lead wire resistance data list and data “e0” in the initial list, the lead wire resistance value “r0” at the time of initial-in can be calculated with the following formula: ｒ0 ：Lead wire resistance value at the time of initial-in (Ω)

ｅｒ0 ：Lead wire resistance voltage at the time of initial-in (μＶ) ｅ0 ：Bridge output voltage at the time of initial-in (μＶ) Rg ：Bridge resistance “Resistance value of dummy resistance 120Ω, 240Ω, and 350Ω” ｅｒ０ｒ０ = ×Rg １＋ｅ０-ｅｒ０

Based on data “e” of direct check and data “eｒ” of lead wire resistance check, a current lead wire resistance value “r” can be calculated with the following formula:

r ：Lead wire resistance value (Ω) er ：Both-end voltage of lead wire resistance at the time of lead wire resistance check (μＶ) e ：Bridge output voltage at the time of direct check (μＶ) Rg ：Bridge resistance “Resistance value of dummy resistance 120Ω, 240Ω, and 350Ω” ｅｒｒ = ×Rg １＋ｅ-ｅｒ

In the compensation calculation of Comet B, the lead wire resistance at the time of initial-in is recorded and compensated. When you want to calculate strain “ε” based on he current lead wire resistance, use the following formula:

ｅｒ０：Both-end voltage of lead wire resistance at the time of initial-in, Data in lead wire resistance data list(μV)

ｅ０：Bridge output voltage, list, initial data (μV) ｅｒ：Lead wire resistance voltage at the time of checking lead wire (μV) ｅ：Bridge output voltage at the time of checking direct (μV)

９．５ Compensation method by quarter bridge 4-wire method

Measurement logic Under the quarter bridge 4-wire system of strain measurement method, no Wheatstone bridge

circuit is used but a simple series circuit is configured with gauge resistance (R) and base resistance (Rs) to measure strain. Strain can be calculated based on the voltage (V) generated in gauge resistance and the voltage (Vs) generated in base resistance.

Since a path where current is passing is different from a path for voltage measurement, measurement without affection of lead wire resistance or contact resistance (r) is possible.

Compensation operation

Under the quarter bridge 4-wire system of strain measurement method, when initial unbalance gets larger, the output voltage “e” generated for (V) mentioned above is not completely proportional to the strain “ε”. This device prepares an operation to compensate errors automatically.

At the time of initial-in, measure the output voltage “ｅ０” generated at the time of initial unbalance for (V) mentioned above, and save that value in the internal memory of the device. At the time of measurement, measure the output voltage “e” under the strain occurrence condition and perform the following compensation operation:
