Sensor features Sensor features The MetallicContamination Sensor MCS is a stationary sensor for continuous monitoring of contamination of fluids – especially lubrication fluids – with metallic particles. With appropriate system knowledge of the monitored system, damage resulting in detectable metallic particles can be discovered early. The MCS uses digital signal processing to distinguish between ferromagnetic (Fe) and non-ferromagnetic (nFe) particles.

Supply voltage 9-36 V DC Switch output 2 (normally open) GND for supply voltage GND switching output HSI (HYDAC Sensor Interface) RS485 + RS485 - Switch output 1 (normally open) The two switching outputs are in each case a passive, n-switching power MOSFET.

Using the switching outputs Using the switching outputs The two switching outputs delivery pulses that can be counted or utilized in a superordinate controller. The logic of the signal outputs is parameterizable. You can select between "active low" and "active high" (factory setting). Details on setting the switching outputs can be found starting on page 53.
Using the switching outputs Switching logic "active low" Both switching outputs emit a currentless signal when a particle is detected. You can set the duration of the signal between 5 and 200 ms. This value is factory set to 7 ms. The signal gives no indication of the shape and size of the particles.
Using the switching outputs Switching logic "active high" Both switching outputs emit a signal when a particle is detected. You can set the duration of the signal Δt between 5 and 200 ms. This value is factory set to 7 ms. The signal gives no indication of the shape and size of the particles.
Using the switching outputs Example: Operation - several particles detected Δt Δt Δt M1/2 Switching output "Device Ready" When "Device Ready" is set, the buzzer signal of the ferromagnetic and non- ferromagnetic particles is emitted on the switching output S1. The signal indicating that the MCS is ready for use is emitted on the switching output S2.

Evaluating measurement results Evaluating measurement results The counter readings of the MCS are not comparable with particle concentrations as these are known from optical particle counters per ISO 4406. If the counter reading stays the same, this does not mean that a constant particle concentration is present, but rather the no further particles have been detected.

Error analysis / remedy Error status 2 "active low" The signal at the switching output is permanently voltage-carrying. The MCS has not detected any errors. This error occurs also when operation voltage is switched off and measurement voltage is switched on. Only a superordinate controller can differentiate between this error signal and normal operation without detection of a particle.
Error analysis / remedy Error status 2 "active high" The signal at the switching output is permanently free of voltage. The MCS has not detected any errors. This error occurs also when external measurement voltage is switched off. Only a superordinate controller can differentiate between this error signal and normal operation without detection of a particle.

Glossary Glossary Ferromagnetic (Fe) A "ferromagnetic" material is one that turns into a magnet through the influence of an external magnetic field. Examples are iron, cobalt, and nickel, which have this property at room temperature. These materials differ in their residual magnetism (remanence) after being removed from the magnetic field.
Glossary Basics of GL certification - The Guideline for the Certification of Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) for Wind Turbines, Edition 2007. This guideline states that the sensors must be able to distinguish between ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic particles and that the installation location in the cooling filter circuit is upstream of the filter.
