R16-PCM-Rotate Fast, simple assembly and trouble free wireless data transmission with the new axial 16-channel 16bit telemetry system for strain gages R16-PCM telemetry system SET The new R16-PCM-Rotate is a rugged, waterproof axial unit for collecting dynamic measurements from rotating devices under shock and vibration loads like railway wheels, gear boxes, test rigs or other axial applications. It enables conditioning, digitization and wireless transmission of up to 16 parallel strain gage (STG) signals. Signal and power transfer is contactless, data being transmitted optically and power inductively. No batteries and no routine maintenance! The fully sealed environmental housing and extended operating temperature range make it particularly suitable for off-road and winter testing in arduous conditions. On the rotating side the strain gage signals are conditioned and amplified. The analog strain gage signals are converted into a 16 bit digital format. Data transmission from the rotating to the stationary side is achieved by an infrared telemetry link along the centerline of the axis for a serial bit stream. The power for the rotating amplifiers sensor excitation and signal conditioning is supplied via induction. This ensures uninterrupted continuous power supply. The rotating strain gage amplifiers are software programmable via web interface. The settings are gain, auto-zero and type of strain gauge. On the stationary side the digital output is connected to the decoder unit via a standard data cable. The decoder unit converts and de-multiplexes the serial bit stream into a parallel format. This parallel signal along with address and clock information is converted to 16 each analog signals (+/-10V) and made available on a Sub-D connector on the decoder unit. Optional is an IP-LAN interface for digital transfer of data’s into the PC available.
