Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for identifying analog measurement signal transmitters in circuits of measurement and automation technology, the individual measurement signal transmitters each having a specific signal type.
- the invention also relates to an associated arrangement.
- Devices of measurement and automation technology often have analog measurement inputs.
- Common signal types are +/- 10 V, +/- 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, 50 mV (thermocouples) or resistance measurements, for example for PT 100 or PT 1000.
- the signal type is usually set manually on the automation devices, be it in terms of hardware with switches / coding plugs or in terms of software with electronic switches. An incorrect setting usually leads to malfunction, in the worst case even to the destruction of the measurement input.
- the signal type is therefore specified in the prior art. In order to avoid errors and damage, the correct setting must be checked.
- the method according to the invention is based on measuring the connected encoder, whereby different current-voltage characteristics of the encoder types are recognized. Both an adjustable voltage source with also adjustable current limitation and an adjustable current source with adjustable voltage limitation are suitable for measurement.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are schematic circuit diagrams of the measuring device for measuring sensor characteristic curves
- FIG. 3 shows an overview of different characteristic curves
- FIGS. 4 and 5 decay curves during cooling processes of thermocouples with the same polarity and with the opposite polarity.
- 1 and 2 show basic circuit diagrams of the measuring electronics.
- 1 means an adjustable voltage source and 2 an adjustable current limitation, 3 an adjustable current source and 4 an adjustable voltage limitation, connections being provided for the encoder to be measured. Both alternatives are equivalent.
- Both an adjustable voltage source with an adjustable current limit and an adjustable current source with an adjustable voltage limit are suitable for measurement. Zung.
- To measure the characteristic curve the voltage or the current must be varied and both measured values recorded at the terminals to the encoder. 3 shows characteristic curves 11 to 16 of the relevant signal types of sensors apart from thermocouples, which are summarized below: The sensor current I is plotted in milli-amperes (mA) on the abscissa and the sensor voltage U in volts (V) the ordinate.
- thermocouples are identified by the element's reaction to current excitation.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show the oscillograms of such an excitation with different polarity, the abscissa representing the time in seconds and the ordinate representing the voltage in volts. The large time constant of the decay process and the reversal of the polarity can be clearly seen in FIG.
- the characteristic property of voltage transmitters in accordance with characteristic curve 15 is that they impress a defined voltage on the measurement input, up to the current limit that results from the technical implementation with electronic circuits.
- Common sensors usually have an output voltage range of 0 to 10 V or (bipolar) of +/- 10 V.
- the maximum current that these sensors can drive is usually in the range from 5 mA to about 50 mA.
- the method described recognizes such a voltage transmitter by impressing a variable current into the transmitter (for example from -100 mA to +100 mA).
- the voltage at the terminals is monitored. If a voltage transmitter is connected, this will keep the terminal voltage almost constant in the area of its current driving capability, since the internal resistance is small and then voltages suddenly build up at the current limit.
- a variable voltage source with current limitation can also be used for measurement. In this case, the current consumption of the encoder will suddenly change when the encoder voltage is exceeded.
- the characteristic feature of current transmitters according to characteristic curve 16 is that they impress a defined current into the measuring input up to its voltage limit, which results from the technical implementation with electronic circuits.
- Common sensors usually have an output current range of 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA or (bipolar) of +/- 20 mA.
- the maximum voltage that these sensors can drive is usually less than +/- 15 V.
- the described method recognizes such a current sensor by impressing a variable current into the sensor, e.g. from -100 mA to +100 mA.
- the voltage at the terminals is monitored. If a current transmitter is connected, it will jump the terminal voltage in the range of its output current between the maximum output voltage values.
- the characteristic curve 16 can also be measured by applying a variable voltage source and monitoring the output current.
- Resistance transmitters can also be detected with a variable voltage or current source. This results in approximately linear characteristic curves 13 and 14 over the entire range. Different types, such as PT100 or PT1000, can be distinguished from the slope. Four-wire measurement is also possible by using the test signal is connected to the supply lines, the other lines are used for measurement.
- Line shorts in accordance with characteristic curve 12 have the same behavior as a voltage source of 0 V with low internal resistance, with the difference that there is no current limitation over the measuring range.
- a line break according to characteristic curve 11 has the same behavior as a current transmitter with 0 mA output current, i.e. high internal resistance, with the difference that there is no voltage limitation across the measuring range.
- Thermocouples have a behavior that initially resembles a relatively high-resistance voltage source, a distant line short-circuit or a low-resistance resistor (PT100).
- the distinction is achieved by specifically stimulating the thermoelectric effect with a current fed in. This current causes a connection point to heat up, e.g. the measuring point, and a
- Cooling the other point e.g. the compensation office.
- the location of the heating / cooling is changed by reversing the polarity of the excitation current, which takes advantage of the Peltier effect.
- the reaction of the thermocouple can be detected, which manifests itself as a decaying voltage source with a time constant of about one to 10 seconds and more, which alternatively results in characteristic curve 41 according to FIG. 4 or characteristic curve 51 according to FIG.
- the polarity is opposite to the excitation voltage in FIG. 5.
- the automatic detection of the signal type of sensors has the following advantages: Avoid destruction at the measuring inputs - Avoiding malfunctions in the system and thus avoiding damage in the system, shorter commissioning times thanks to automatic diagnosis, detection of errors in connected transmitters, line breaks and short-circuits. Detection of normal, commercially available sensors without specific expansion is possible.
- the detection or identification of the measuring signal transmitters can take place immediately when they are used.
- the measuring arrangement can be implemented as a separate device or can already be integrated into the assembly to be used. This results in considerable simplifications in practice, since the personnel do not have to carry out a separate check of the individual measurement signal transmitters, but can contact them without checking. The check is then carried out in the system with the modules.
