Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an output which corresponds to an invariably reliable, accurate quantity to be measured, by monitoring whether the outputs of a light source and a photoelectric converter are within specific ranges all the time. CONSTITUTION:Light from a light source 1 enters a photosensor 4 installed in an electric field through an optical fiber and is varied in intensity according to the quantity to be measured. Projected light from this sensor 4 illuminates the photoelectric converter 6 through an optical fiber 5 and the current corresponding to the irradiation light is converted by a detection resistance 7 into a voltage, which is applied to a mean value circuit 9. Then, a processing circuit 13 divides the AC component of the voltage developed at the detection resistance 7 by a mean value to find a voltage as the quantity to be measured. On the other hand, when the voltage obtained by detecting the driving current of the light source 1 by a resistance or the output of the mean value circuit 9 goes beyond the specific range, a window comparator 8 or 10 is activated to generate an output, displaying abnormality on a display device 12 through an OR gate 11.

As the optical sensor (4), for example, a polarizer, a photoelastic element,
An acceleration sensor composed of an analyzer or the like, which outputs a certain amount of incident light after modulating its brightness based on vibration acceleration, is used. The light emitted from the optical sensor (4) propagates through the second optical fiber (5) and is irradiated onto the photoelectric converter (6), which converts the current in accordance with the irradiated light into the second optical fiber. 2 detecting resistor (η1) and converting it into a voltage. The average value of this voltage is determined by the average value circuit (9). Also, the AC component of the voltage appearing at the second detecting resistor (7) with respect to this average value is Since the degree of modulation in the optical sensor (4) is constant, the ratio is determined by the deterioration of the light source (1) and the difference between the first and second optical fibers (

Next, the light source (1) or the photoelectric converter (6) is disconnected or short-circuited, the output of the processing circuit (13) becomes an abnormal value. In addition, the light source (1) may be significantly deteriorated, or the light source (1) may be significantly deteriorated. If the propagation loss becomes abnormally large in the second optical fiber, 3), (5), etc., the processing circuit (13) cannot compensate for it and the accuracy deteriorates. Therefore, the driving current of the light source (1) is
If this voltage is outside the first predetermined range (compensable range), the first window comparator (8) is energized and produces an output. 11) to display an abnormality on the display (12). Also, on the photoelectric converter (6) side, if the output of the average value circuit (9) is outside the second predetermined range (compensable range), the second window comparator (8) is energized to reduce the output. arising, or game) (11)
is energized to display an abnormality on the display (12). That is, the first. The voltage appearing across the second detection resistors (2) and (7) will become zero if the light source (1) and photoelectric converter (6) are disconnected, and will become abnormally high if they are short-circuited. Also, the light source (
1) may deteriorate or the first and second optical fibers (3) may deteriorate.
Even if the propagation loss becomes abnormally large due to (5) or the like, the output on the photoelectric converter (6) side will decrease. Therefore, 1st.
