The input to the internal controller comes from the vibration transmitter. They
are built with a specific full-scale range and frequency band. The full-scale range
of the transmitters must be known for the controllers to display the correct
vibration value. The transmitter will not display any vibration energy present at
frequencies outside the filtering range. Refer to the user manual for your specific
CTC signal conditioner for instructions on calibration and operation.
Example: Full Scale 0 – 1.0 IPS, Frequency Band 10 – 1000 Hz
At 0 IPS, 0.00 V flows from the transmitter to the controller. At 0.50 IPS, 2.5 V flows
from the transmitter to the controller. At 1.0 IPS, 5.0 V flows from the transmitter
to the controller.
The monitoring channel provides two relay outputs. The system comes from the
factory with a specific vibration range in IPS or mm/s. This range must be known
to configure the relay set points. It is recommended that baseline and typical
alarm values of vibration are also known before setup is attempted. The relays
provided by the internal controller are highly configurable. Refer to the PD765
user manual for detailed programming instructions.
All of the following parameters can be adjusted:
• Relay Action – Automatic, Latching, Auto + Manual Reset, Latch with Clear
• Relay Operation – Set and Reset points (Hysteresis), On and Off time Delays
Example Setup 1:
A full-scale range of 0 – 1 IPS has been specified. The baseline vibration on the
machine to be monitored is 0.18 IPS-pk. Alarm and shutdown levels of vibration are
defined as 0.35 IPS-pk and 0.65 IPS-pk, respectively. Reset points are specified
as 0.30 IPS-pk and 0.60 IPS-pk. Using the provided PD765 Process Controller
manual, select the relay operation and action desired. For this example, we will
have LOC, Latching Operation with Clear relays. Then program “Set 1” as 0.35
and “Set 2” as 0.65, then program reset points, “rST 1” as 0.30 and “rST 2” as
0.60. After relays have been programmed, scaling must be set. For this example,
we will use a 0-5 V input with a 0-1 IPS display. Program “inP1” as 0.00, then
“diS1” as 0.00, then “inP2” as 5.00, then “diS2” as 1.00. This will create an input of
0.00 V, display of 0.00 IPS, and at an input of 5 V, 1.00 IPS will be displayed by the
meter. The system will now actuate the LOC Relay (Relay 1) when the vibration
level reaches 0.35 IPS-pk and another LOC Relay (Relay 2) when the vibration
