1.1 System Configuration and Block Diagram System Configuration The following is an example in which the WE7235 4-CH, 100 kS/s Accelerometer Module is installed into the measuring station and the measuring station is connected to the PC with the optical fiber cable.
1.2 Operation Panel The WE7000 Control Software that is installed in the PC is used to control the WE7235 4-CH, 100 kS/s Accelerometer Module. The WE7000 Control Software displays operation panels similar to those shown in the figure below. This user’s manual does not explain the operations of the operation panel or waveform monitor.
1.3 Setting Measurement Conditions Turning ON/OFF the Measurement Channel Measurement is made only on the channels that have the On check box selected. If 1CH or 2CH is selected in the section “Selecting the Number of Measurement Channels” as described later, only the specified number of channels can be selected. Turning ON/OFF the Supply Current to the Acceleration Sensor (Bias) When measuring acceleration, a 4-mA current is supplied to the acceleration sensors for those channels that have the Bias check box selected.

1.3 Setting Measurement Conditions Input Filter The two types of filters, the low-pass filter and the anti-aliasing filter, can be used to remove high frequency noise from the input signal. Select the low-pass filter setting from 40 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 4 kHz, 10 kHz, 40 kHz, and OFF. Select the anti-aliasing filter setting from 20 Hz, 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 200 Hz, 400 Hz, 800 Hz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 20 kHz, 40 kHz, and OFF after selecting the AAF check box.

1.3 Setting Measurement Conditions Sampling Interval During trigger/gate mode You can select the sampling interval in the range from 10 µs to 10 s (in 1-µs steps). During free run mode You can select the sampling interval in the range from 1 ms to 10 s (in 1-µs steps). Note You can set the sampling frequency of the time base for the FFT by using the WE Control API (sold separately, model: 707741).
Page 12
1.3 Setting Measurement Conditions If you set a number less than the number of memory partitions in the trigger mode, you will have to specify the number of memory blocks to use. If you set a number larger than the number of memory partitions, the data is acquired until the specified number is reached or until the specified record length is reached.
1.4 Setting the Trigger Trigger Source (Source) Select the signal for triggering. Select one from the following list of choices: Internal: Input signal (includes input signals from 4-CH, 100 kS/s Accelerometer Modules that are linked) BUSTRG: Bus signal (BUSTRG1/BUSTRG2) of the WE bus Trigger Type (Trig Type) If the trigger source is set to the input signal, select the trigger type from the following list of choices.
1.5 Automatic Saving of the Measured Data, File Format Conversion, and Other Settings The following functions are functions of the WE7000 Control Software. For the operations of these items, see the on-line help that is provided with the WE7000 Control Software. Automatic Saving of Waveform Data In addition to saving the data displayed on the waveform monitor, you can also have the waveform data automatically saved using a trigger or save the data continuously in free...
* This value is a typical value (not warranted). The WE7235 can also acquire data by following the bus trigger signal. If the bus trigger signal becomes “True” between the “False” to “True” edge and the “True” to “False” edge of the time base signal, then the trigger is considered to have been satisfied by the data sampled with the time base signal.

Chapter 2 Hardware Preparation 2.1 Installing the Module into the Measuring Station Preparing to Install the Module The measuring station comes with each slot covered with a cover plate as shown in the figure below. Verify that the power supply is not connected to the measuring station, and then loosen the module attachment screws (2 locations) and remove the cover plate from the slot where the module is going to be installed.

The acceleration signal (charge signal) that has been converted to a voltage signal by the charge amplifier is input to the WE7235 using a normal coaxial cable. The WE7235 measures the signal in the voltage measurement mode.
Page 21
The WE7235 measures the signals in the acceleration measurement mode and supplies current (bias) to the charge converter. Set the input sensitivity of the WE7235 according to the charge converter gain and the sensitivity of the charge output type acceleration sensor.
2.3 Connecting the Input Cable A BNC cable is used to input the signal to be measured. Connect the BNC cable to the input terminal (BNC terminal indicated as CH1 through CH4) on the front panel of the module. The input signal must conform to the following: Number of inputs: Input format: Non-isolated, unbalanced...
3.1 Troubleshooting • If servicing is necessary, or if the analyzer is not operating correctly after performing the following corrective actions, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer as listed on the back cover of this manual. • To verify that the module is operating correctly, perform the self test as described on the next page.
3.2 Acceleration Sensor Connection Test The test performs diagnosis on shorted and opened conditions of the acceleration sensors including the cables. CAUTION Perform the connection test only when acceleration sensors are connected. A current of approximately 4 mA is supplied to the acceleration sensors during the test.
Page 25
Normal: Input voltage between 2 V and 20 V Open: Input voltage greater than 20 V Short: Input voltage less than 2 V If you remove the On check box under Connection Test, the WE7235 returns to normal measurement. IM 707235-01E...
If a value other than 0 is displayed in the Result display box of the Self Test dialog box, the module is probably malfunctioning. Please contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer as listed on the back cover of this manual for repairs.
There are no parts in this module that require periodic replacement. Calibration We recommend that you calibrate the measurement module once a year to assure its measurement accuracy. Please contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer to have the module calibrated. IM 707235-01E...
