20 Configuring – Examples
This section contains examples of commonly used channel types, and how they can be configured.
20.1 Acceleration
Use the Channels tab and the Summary view to configure
channels. Select the Channel Type and then select the
Transducer.
Change to the Customize Transducer view to verify the
correct Scale Factor, Units, and Transducer Power setting.
The OK limits will be set according to the transducer you
selected. They can be modified if needed.
20.2 Axial Position (Thrust)
Use the Channels tab and the Summary view to configure
channels. Select the Channel Type and then select the Transducer.
Change to the Customize Transducer view to verify the correct Scale Factor, Units, and Transducer
Power setting.
The OK limits will be set according to the transducer you
selected. They can be modified if needed.
The Position view provides configuration of parameters
specific to Axial Position (or Thrust), Eccentricity, Rod Drop,
and Differential Expansion measurements.
20.2.1 Zero Position
For Axial Position measurements the zero position is typically the center of the thrust float zone. The
Axial Position alarm levels are set in reference to the zero position.
For Differential Expansion measurements, this is the distance between the rotating and stationary
parts when at a known temperature. Long and Short Rotor measurement alarms are set in reference
to a change from the zero position.
