Proton Products InteliSENS PD30 Instruction Manual (Issue 1a)
Electrical interfaces
Must be specified for factory installation at time of ordering; cannot be field-retrofitted.
3x analogue (±10V) outputs.
Independently programmable functions for X, Y, Z
(DG3030/3060 only) diameters, average diameter, diameter
errors from preset value, ovality and ovality error.
Proportional Integral (PI) feedback controller
PI feedback diameter control via adjustment of insulation
extruders or capstan drives.
Isolated ±20V analogue input and ±10V analogue output for
connection to insulation extruders or capstan drives.
OPTIONAL FIRMWARE
Optional firmware may be end-user enabled through the purchase of a license key. Some optional
firmware functions are dependent on the presence of optional interfaces.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Analysis
Calculates FFT frequency spectra of measured diameters.
Identifies periodically occurring diameter fluctuations caused
by production line problems.
Essential for telecommunications cable lines where periodic
diameter fluctuations can degrade cable bandwidth.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) automatic set point control
Minimises insulation material consumption whilst holding the
insulation diameter in tolerance.
Requires the PI feedback controller interface option
(00047MC061) to be installed.
Single Measurement Flaw Detection (SMFD)
High-speed lump and neck flaw detection.
