12 Cyclic peak-peak measurement
12.1 Function
♦ The cyclic peak-peak value describes the largest dynamic excursion of a
vibration signal (AC signal or AC/DC signal) from the positive to the
negative peak in relation to an external trigger signal. It is therefore a
super-energetic measurement variable which, in contrast to the RMS
value, is not directly associated with the signal energy.
♦ Cyclic peak-peak measurement is an optional signal path component
and as a configuration interface contains all the necessary parameters
for the setup.
♦ The physical unit for cyclic peak-peak measurement is determined by
the preceding components in the signal path, in particular through the
Sensor / Sensor(A/B) block.
♦ The result of the cyclic peak-peak value is updated after expiry of the
predefined number of averages.
♦ The behaviour of the cyclic peak-peak measurement over time is
determined by the rise time parameter.
♦ The current measured value can be distributed through an analogue DC-
output to downstream electronics.
♦ The cyclic peak-peak measurement can be monitored for limit violation
by one or more Monitor blocks.
♦ Cyclic peak-peak measurement is carried out during
monitoring of eccentric (deformed) shaft vibrations.
