Overview | |||
1.4.2. Frequency to RPM converter (Torsional inputs) | |||
Scope | |||
On reciprocating machinery (diesel engine, pump) or any acyclic rotating devices (generator, | |||
compressor), the cause of vibrations often comes from the non-linearity of the angular speed. | |||
The analysis of the instantaneous angular speed inside each shaft revolution provides essential | |||
information. Such information are helpful for vibrations reduction during prototyping or even | |||
for source identification while doing service diagnostics. | |||
The common way to measure such instantaneous velocity is | |||
to install a coding wheel or a rotary encoder on the shaft. | |||
Then the rate of pulse delivered by such device is directly | |||
proportional to the RPM speed during the last pulse interval. | |||
This type of measurement needs a specific conditioner | |||
(usually an external box) which transforms the pulses train in | |||
a continuous voltage proportional to the RPM. | |||
Such devices are expensive, lead to more cable, are often | |||

limited to 2 probes and so on. But the main inconvenience is the phase error they introduce | |||
due to their internal response time. | |||
New option | |||
In the continuity of its specialization in the rotating machinery measurement and analysis | |||
OROS propose with NVGate® V6.00 an integrated frequency to RPM converter which avoids | |||
the above-mentioned inconveniences. | |||
The ORNV-FRC is an option of NVGate® V6.00. It transforms each external Synch input in a | |||
frequency to RPM converter (allows handling up to 6 torsional/acyclic inputs at a time). This | |||
integrated converter benefits of the high accuracy of the 3-Series analyzers Ext. synch inputs | |||
(over sampled up to 6.4 MHz). As a matter of fact the sampling of such pulse rate must be | |||
very accurate in order to avoid speed jitter on the result. | |||
Operation | |||
The ext. synch input can be used as a: | |||
1. Trigger -> provides edge detection events | |||
2. Conventional tachometer -> provides RPM at each | |||
revolution. | |||
3. Torsional converter (option) -> provides | |||
instantaneous RPM as a signal. | |||
By selecting the third option (Torsional) in the Mode | |||
Setting, the ext. synch is made available as a standard input | |||
providing the RPM signal. | |||
The other settings to update are: | |||
· the number of pulses/rev. | |||
· Average size which acts as rpm smother when the | |||
jitter is too high. | |||
· Min/max speed which operates the same as for the | |||
other tachometers. | |||
· The missing teeth (0, 1 or 2) will create virtual pulse | |||
when detecting missing pulses (1or 2 consecutives) | |||

· At least the filter which let you integrate or differentiate the RPM speed to get | |||
respectively plane angle deviations and angular accelerations for the analyses. | |||
Analyses | |||
The instantaneous signals are available for numerous analyses. The main tow ones are: | |||
· The non cyclic behavior of a shaft which is analyzed by the order analysis processing | |||
providing order profiles and the time domain analysis for in revolution RPM profiles. | |||
· The torsional behavior of a shaft (crankshaft, alternator) or a driving belt (service belt) | |||
being excited by its acyclic motion. In such a case the phenomena are analyzed order by | |||
order using the cross-phase tracking capabilities of the SOA Plug-in. In this case 2 or | |||
more torsional inputs are used: in different location of the shaft or on each pulley driven | |||
by the belt. | |||
On-line | |||
In the on-line mode the torsional inputs appear | |||
as additional in the channels connection dialog | |||
box. They are identified as Tors. x from the | |||
Signal Op. resource (not visible in the ASB). | |||
These signals can be dispatched exactly as the | |||
standard inputs ones; recorded, analyzed and | |||
monitored with the TDA plug-in. | |||
The torsional inputs may be recorded as it or the | |||
source pulses can be recorded also. | |||
Post-processing | |||
For post-analysis purposes, the way to operate depends on the type of recorded signal: | |||
· If the converted signal (Tors x) have been recorded, the post analysis is exactly like for | |||
the usual recorded inputs: | |||
· if the pulses have been recorded and not the converted signal, a new resource module | |||
called Signal Operation is then available for this conversion. | |||

· The conversion setup is available from the ASB. It is | |||
identical to the on-line one: | |||
· At least the Tors. x signal (converted to angular | |||
velocity (or acceleration or deviation) is available from | |||
the track connection dialog: | |||
