HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES

Handling Precautions for Electrostatic Sensitive Devices

Certain devices used in electronic equipment can be damaged by electrostatic discharges
resulting from built-up static electricity. Because of this, special precautions must be taken to
minimize or eliminate the possibility of these electrostatic discharges occurring.

Read the following recommendations carefully before handling electronic

circuits, printed circuit boards or modules containing electronic
components.

• Before handling electronic circuits, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object (e.g. a pipe or cabinet).
• Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing
material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton
blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.
• Do not handle electronic circuits unless it is absolutely necessary. Only hold modules by
their front panel handles.
• Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
• Put the electronic circuit, printed circuit board or module containing electronic
components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it from the
system rack.

DETAILED FUNCTIONS
DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

3.2 Display Functions

The alphanumeric 5 digit display enables readout of:
• The value of the vibration in the chosen measuring unit (mm/s RMS, mm/s Peak, inch/s
RMS or inch/s Peak)
• The programming parameters which each include:
• An alphabetic identification text (Label)
• A numerical value or a selection option
When the voltage is switched on, all the segments are tested by simulating a clock with
turning hands. All of the parameters are described in Chapter 6 - Programming Mode
(PROG).

3.3 Self-check / OK Function

The purpose of this function is to identify the following defects which might occur with respect
to a vibration sensor or connecting cable :
• At the level of the vibration sensor or the connection cable
• Break in the cable
• Short circuit
• At the electronics level
• Loss of electrical supply
• Loss of supply voltages generated internally
• Failure of the Analog/Digital converter
In the event of a fault in the sensor, the line or the electronics:
1) The OK indicator (Green) on the front panel, which is normally lit, goes out.
2) The OK relay which is normally excited drops out and its available contacts, which are
closed during normal operation, become open.
3) The alarms are inhibited in order to avoid setting off false “machine” alarms by the
incorrect interpretation of the measuring signal.

NOTE : If the external alarm processing device allows, this condition enables you to detect
the “machine” alarms and the “equipment” alarms for which the functional consequences are
different.

DETAILED FUNCTIONS
MONITORING

3.4 Monitoring
The system allows two alarm levels to be monitored on the vibration signal.
Each of these alarms comprises the following programmable parameters :

NOTE : The text in brackets indicates the messages displayed on the VibroSmart VMU100,
followed by the possible responses.

• Activity of the alarm (ACT = Yes/No)

If the alarm considered is used it should be declared active = Yes
If the alarm considered is not used it should be declared non active = No

• Direction of the alarm (Hi-Lo = Hi/Lo)

The alarm can be:
• High = Hi (General case of supervision of rotating machines)
• Low = Lo (Case of supervision of vibrating machines, grinders etc.)

• State of the relay under normal operation (NORM = ON/OFF)

In normal operation the relay can be:
• Normally energised (NE) = ON
• Normally de-energised (NDE) = OFF
The first level alarm LD1 is generally with the relay normally energised (failsafe, normally
energised relay).
The second level alarm LD2 can be with the relay normally de-energized if it controls the
tripping of the machine being monitored and if you want to avoid any accidental stoppage in
the case of :
• Loss of power supply on the VibroSmart VMU100
• Breaking of connection between the VibroSmart VMU100 and the supervised unit
• Equipment defect (the OK light goes out)

• Storing the alarm state (LATCH = No/Yes)

The alarm can be:
• Not stored (Not latched) = No
• Stored (latched) = Yes

See the alarm sequence in graphic form in 3.7 - Alarm Sequence.

• Alarm not stored (Not latched) = No
• Alarm activated : LD indicator blinking, relay oscillating on and off
• Alarm deactivated : Indicator goes out and the relay returns to its normal position
• Alarm stored (latched) = Yes

MONITORING

RESET function
To clear the stored alarm, use the RESET function, by pressing the RESET button on the
front panel of the VibroSmart VMU100 or remotely through the logical input “external
RESET”.
(See Wiring Diagram on page 4-3.)

Sequence
Alarm activated: LD indicator blinking, relay oscillating on and off

• Reset by the operator before the end of the alarm state:

• Alarm LD indicator continuously on, relay unchanged
• After the alarm state is cleared, the indicator goes out and the relay returns to its
normal position

• Alarm state cleared before being reset by the operator :

• LD Indicator blinking and relay unchanged
• Indicator goes out and the relay returns to its normal position, when the Reset
function is selected by the operator
• Adjustment of the alarm level (LEVEL = Value to be adjusted)

Remarks on hysteresis
In the case of the VibroSmart VMU100, the hysteresis has been fixed at 5% of the
measurement value.
The hysteresis acts in such as way as to keep its displayed value at the alarm threshold
• by going down again for a threshold at maximum
• by going up again for a threshold at minimum

The level of the alarm is programmed according to the machine manufacturer’s data or from
the operator’s experience.
Taking into account the hysteresis of the alarm fixed at 5% of the measurement value, the
lowest values of the alarm thresholds (limited by the software) are :
• 10% FSD for a high threshold = Hi (Re-engagement at 5% FSD)
• 5% FSD for a low threshold = Lo (Re-engagement at 10% FSD)
• Time delay of the alarm (DELAY = Value to be set)
The delay is the minimum time, in seconds, for which the alarm threshold should be exceeded
before setting off the alarm.
The delay enables known transitory states during which the vibration levels are higher than
in normal operation to pass without setting off the alarm (for example, when passing through
a critical speed during machine run-up). Refer to 3.6 - Time Delay for further information.

3.8 Max/min Storage

VibroSmart VMU100 stores the Maximum and Minimum values reached by the vibration from
the moment these parameters are initialised.
This function records the extreme levels attained by the vibration being monitored over a
given period.
Examples :
• Points exceeding the trip threshold which are ignored by the time delay
• Vibration effectively achieved during the tripping of machines

3.9 Analog Output (Optional)

The analog output is generated by an optional module which can work either under the
0-10 VDC standard, or under the 4-20 mA standard.
The choice is programmable : (ANOUT = 0-10V / 4-20mA)
The analog output is refreshed at a rate of 16 times per second.
Ordering Code
This option must be defined with the Ordering code Y :

Y=0 No analog module

Y=1 Output 0-10 V (configurable)
Y=2 Output 4-20 mA (configurable)

Ordering code
This option must be defined by the "Z" code :

Z=0 None
Z=1 RS232C submodule
Z=2 RS485 submodule

The RS232C or RS485 output option consists of an additional card that is installed on the
VibroSmart VMU100 main board. The card incorporates a contact telephone socket with
output at the rear of the meter : RJ9-4 (RS232C) or RJ11-6 (RS485). In the case of the RS485
option, a double adapter is delivered in order to allow in and out links.
The serial output enables a communication line to be configured, allowing a master device to
request the transmission of data such as the display value, setpoint values and Max and Min
values from the VibroSmart VMU100, and also to perform operations such as displaying or
resetting the Max or Min memories and updating setpoint values.
The output option is totally software configurable as regards the transmission rate (4800,
9600 or 19200 baud) and the instrument’s address (from 01 to 99). The protocol used is
ISO 1745.
The RS232C option allows you to connect one VibroSmart VMU100 to a master device with
RS232C output.
The RS485 option allows up to 31 VibroSmart VMU100’s to be connected to a master device
with an RS485 output.
The operating mode is half-duplex. The serial channel only functions when the monitor is in
the run mode and it normally stays in data reception mode until reception of a message.
A valid data transmission may cause the immediate execution of a command (e.g. reset of
the Max and Min values in memory, modification of setpoint values) or the transmission of a
response from the monitor (e.g. display value, one of the setpoints’ values, Max and Min
values).
A disk containing the VIBRO_CONF program, for use under Windows 95, lets you control
the transmission and reception of data on a PC screen and the complete programming of one
or more VibroSmart VMU100 monitors connected to the computer’s RS232C/485 serial port
by means of the ISO 1745 protocol (PROT 2).

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The communication mode used is the ISO mode = Protocol 2, which conforms to the ISO
1745 standard, and permits a more secure communication in noisy environments since the
data transfer is verified both at the transmission and the reception ends.

RS232C OR RS485 TRANSMISSION (OPTIONAL)

ISO 1745 PROTOCOL

The transmission format is 1 Start bit, 7 Data bits, 1 Parity (Even) bit and 1 Stop bit.
Receiving messages
The message format, as sent from the master device, must contain the following sequence
of ASCII characters :

SOH D D STX C C X1...Xn ETX BCC

The bytes have the following meaning :

SOH Start of header [ASCII 01]

D Two bytes representing the instrument’s address (between 01 to 99).
Note : The broadcast address ‘00’ can be used to configure all of the
VMU100s with the same parameters and values.
STX Start of text [ASCII 02]
C Two command bytes; see 3.11 - List of Commands.
X1...Xn For commands that are used to change a parameter, the command
bytes are followed by a group of n bytes, representing the parameter’s
new value, including the sign and decimal point.
ETX End of text [ASCII 03]
BCC Control byte, calculated as follows :

<BCC> Calculation
1) Perform an Exclusive-OR with all bytes comprised between the <STX> (not included)
and the <ETX> (included).
2) If the byte obtained (in ASCII format) is higher than 32, it can be taken as the <BCC>.
3) If the result (in ASCII) is lower than 32, the <BCC> byte is obtained by adding 32.

Example messages
• Request sent to the monitor with the address 35, to send the displayed value :
<SOH>35<STX>0D<ETX>w

• Request sent to the monitor with the address 4, to change the LD1 set point to 19.3 :
<SOH>04<STX>M1+019.3<ETX>q

Data transmission
The format of messages as sent from the instrument in response to a command from the
master device is the following :
1) Example of commands that request the transmission of a value (data request type) :

SOH D D STX X1...Xn ETX BCC

SOH Start of header [ASCII 01]

D Two bytes representing the instrument’s address (between 01 to 99).
Note : The broadcast address ‘00’ can be used to configure all of the
VMU100s with the same parameters and values.
STX Start of text [ASCII 02]
X1...Xn A group of n bytes, representing the requested value, including the sign
and decimal point.
ETX End of text [ASCII 03]
BCC Control byte

Example of message
• The monitor with the address 35 sends the display value = 4.5
<SOH>35<STX>+004.5<ETX>

2) Example of commands that do not require the return of a value (command type or
changing parameters) :
The instrument sends a confirmation to the master device when it receives a message.

D Dd ACK or D Dd NAK

If the message has been correctly received and interpreted, the response will consist of two
address bytes and one “ACK” [ASCII 06] (acknowledged) byte.
If the received message has not been well interpreted or it has been detected with errors, the
response will be two address bytes and a “NAK” byte [ASCII 21] (Not Acknowledged).

NOTE : When the master device transmits a message to address 00, the command will be
received by all the instruments on the bus and there will not be any response.

MONITORING

5 OPERATING MODE (RUN)

5.1 Monitoring
Operation under monitoring is the normal state of the VibroSmart VMU100 during which the
monitor oversees the vibration levels of the machine on the basis of the programmed
parameters (see 3.4 - Monitoring).
The unit becomes operational after the internal self-test has taken place at power on. This
takes several seconds to complete.

Max./min. storage
The extreme values of the vibration levels are stored by the VibroSmart VMU100 starting
from the time when these values are initialised.
The values can be viewed by using the readout procedure (see below).

5.2 Readout Procedure

The readout of the programmed parameters as well as the Max and Min values of the
measurement is accessible using the following procedure:

• To enter the “Readout” mode from RUN mode press the DATA button
• Choose the required readout, corresponding to alarms (ALARM), the Max/Min values
(M/m) or the readout of all parameters (ALL).

Then, wherever you are in the menu structure:

1) Go to the lower hierarchical level with .
2) Enter the readout of each parameter from its “label” with .
3) Exit the readout via “Esc”, which returns you to the function label.
4) Move to the next function in the same hierarchy by pressing .
5) Return to the higher hierarchical level by pressing “Esc” starting from the function label.
After a 20 second time-out since your last enquiry, you are returned to the measurement
display automatically.

6.1 Programming Access

There are three programming access levels :
• Total: All of the system parameters can be modified
• Alarms: Only the alarm thresholds can be modified
• None: No parameters can be modified (i.e. read-only access)

The access level is defined by the position of two micro-switches located on the mother
board. The micro-switches can be reached by removing the top cover. Their position defines
the configurations listed below.

ON OFF Alarms
OFF ON Alarms
ON ON None

6.2 Total Programming Mode

Total programming can only be accessed if the configuration of the micro-switches is
“OFF_OFF”, the procedure is as follows:
To enter programming mode :
From RUN mode, press and DATA at the same time.
The “PROG” indicator lights up and the “RUN” indicator goes out.
Select the programming access for all parameters (PROGT).

Then, and wherever you are in the hierarchy:

1) Go to the lower hierarchical level with .
2) Enter the programming mode for each function starting with its “label” with .
3) Once you have entered the programming mode of the function
Changes of values are made by pressing (Decreasing values).
Selections are made by pressing .

Edition 6
PROGRAMMING MODE (PROG)
PROGRAMMING THE ALARM THRESHOLDS

4) Exit the programming of values or selections by pressing:

“Esc” to keep the original values or selections
“ENTER” validating the figures or selections displayed
Esc and ENTER return you to the function label
5) Go on to the next function at the same level or to the following row of figures with .
6) To return to the higher hierarchical level, press “Esc” from the function label. You are
automatically returned to the measurement display after a 20 second time-out since the
last key press.

6.3 Programming the Alarm Thresholds

The programming limited to alarm thresholds is accessible if the position of the
micro-switches is “ON-OFF” or “OFF-ON”.
The procedure is the same as that above but you need to select the programming limited to
alarm thresholds (PROGRA) instead.

NOTE : If access to the programming is total, PROGRA provides a shortcut to directly

access the adjustment of the alarm thresholds.

6.4 Programming Flow-Charts

The following pages give the procedures for programming the different parameters using
clear flow-charts. The table below lists the flow-charts corresponding to the parameters :
