2 System Description
2.1 Functional Description RTM MP System
RTM MP is an innovative system that utilizes force measuring rollers to capture the
tension of individual wires or strands, and then securely transmits this data from the
rotating to the static part of the machine. Channel Extension Modules expand the
system with a variety of analogue and digital I/Os and thus create the multi-channel,
multi-purpose system RTM MP
The expansion module EMGZ443MP.T is used in the transmitter side (rotating part of
the machine). The EMGZ443MP.R expands the system on the receiver side (static
part of the machine). A fully expanded system can handle 2 force measuring rollers,
4 Encoders, 2 analogue I/Os and 16 digital I/Os. In addition a relay contact is
activated if the radio link is interrupted. The expansion achieved in this way allows a
versatile operation of the system.

4 Installation and Wiring
4.1 Area of Machine Rotation
Following RTM MP components are installed either on the rotating part of the
machine or in the area of machine rotation:
● RMGZ Force Measuring Rollers
● Transmitter EMGZ482T.MP.24VDC
● Multi-purpose extension module EMGZ443MP.T
4.2 Force Measuring Sensors on the Static Machine Area
The red point should always be
aligned in the direction of the
resulting Force (see Fig. 2). For
further mounting information
please consult the respective
installation manual of the
sensor. The installation manual
is always delivered together with
the sensor.
4.3 Force Measuring Sensors on a Rotating Machine Part
Note
In rotating applications the force measuring sensors are mounted such that
centrifugal forces are compensated. If using FMS RMGZ sensors, this can be
achieved by turning the Red Point parallel to the rotation axis and in direction of the
positive force component (refer to Fig. 3).
Note
The adjustment of the red point can be tested after offset compensation and
calibration. If the reading of an unloaded load cell stays at zero regardless of the
load cell position (e.g. at 12 o’clock or at 6 o’clock position), the red point is
correctly aligned.

rotating base plate of the stranding machine. The measuring results will be wrong, if
this rule is broken.
4.4 Mounting and Wiring the Electronic Components
An RTM MP system is usually delivered complete with all its components and cables.
The cables are prepared with connectors on both sides for easy assembly
Caution
Proper function of the FMS RTM MP System can only be guaranteed with the
recommended application of the components. Other arrangements can cause
malfunctions. Therefore, the installation instructions on the following pages must
be followed.
Caution

4.5 Mounting and Wiring the Transmitter EMGZ482T.MP.24VDC
One or two force sensors can be connected to the RTM-Transmitter. It is favourably to
mount the EMGZ482T.MP.24VDC transmitter close to the RMGZ load cells to keep
the signal cables short.
If no standard FMS cables are used, the connection between force sensors and
transmitter must be wired with 2x2x0.25mm2[AWG 23] shielded twisted-pair cable.
The wiring diagram below (Fig. 4) shows how the signals are wired to the connectors.

5 Configuration of the RTM MP System
FMS delivers the RTM MP System with preset hardware components, installed
software, a configured 2.4 GHz radio-link.
5.1 RTM MP Quick Start
1. After having mounted and wired the RTM MP system components on your
machine power up transmitter EMGZ482T.MP and receiver EMGZ482R.MP
2. The RTM MP system will establish the wireless radio link automatically. This initial
process can take 5-10 sec.
3. After having achieved a stable radio link the LCD display on the EMGZ482R.MP
will show:
4. The system is now ready to be calibrated.

5.3 Offset Compensation Procedure
With the Offset Compensation one can compensate the roller weight of the sensor.
This procedure is always performed before the calibration. The roller weight
compensation is performed for both channels (sensor 1 and sensor 2). The force
measuring roller should not be loaded while the Offset Compensation is being done.
Procedure:
1. Remove any wires that may apply a force to the roller.
2. Close a contact between terminal 10 and 13 on the EMGZ482R.MP (see Fig. 6).
The switch time must be >100 ms.
3. This connection will perform the offset compensation on both force measuring
rollers (sensor 1 and 2).
