General know-how about PLC control system setup, programming and device integration is required. To the extent permitted by law Kistler does not accept any liability if this instruction manual is not followed. Kistler offers a wide range of products for use in measuring technology: ...
If any of the above indicate that safe operation is no lon- ger ensured, the device must be immediately sent to the responsible Kistler sales center or distributor for repair. 1.2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The Type 5074A… charge amplifier is manufactured in con- formity with CE requirements.
This device does not allow Firmware update by custom- er. Please get in contact with you Kistler Service Center in order to check options to update your device to the latest Firmware.
Fundamentals 2. Fundamentals The typical measuring chain consists of a piezoelectric sen- sor with charge output, a charge amplifier and a system for cycle command, data acquisition and data evaluation. In industrial applications, cycle command functionality is usually implemented with a programmable logic controller (PLC).
Page 11
Polarity Kistler defines polarity in such a way that an increase in compressive force in a force sensor produces a negative charge. The charge amplifier inverts the sensor signal and in this case generates a positive output voltage.
Fundamentals 2.2 The industrial charge amplifier In this context it should be noted that the term "charge am- plifier" does not mean a device that amplifies a charge Q1 to a value Q2. We use it in the sense of a device for con- verting the charge Q into a voltage U .
Integration into the control environment is carried out as with a standard fieldbus device using the programming in- terface of the PLC manufacturer and the device description file which is provided by Kistler. Functions and parameters The feature set of the 5074A... may be configured to meet the effectively required functionality.
Type 1003 cleaning spray or white spirit. Connect the cable to the sensor. We recommend using high-insulation, low-noise cables from the Kistler range. These are tested specifically for high insulation resistance, low noise and low unwanted (triboelectric) charge pro- duced by friction.

Digital industrial charge amplifier Type 5074A 4.1.4 EMC and ground loops Piezoelectric sensors are usually designed so that one of the electrodes is connected on the sensor case, allowing the use of coaxial cables. So when the sensor is installed, it is usu- ally grounded by the metal structure (safety).
Commissioning Potential differences between sensor inputs On multi-channel 5074A2xx, 5074A3xx and 5074A4xx it is important to consider, that sensor connector grounds are internally connected and capacitive coupled to the housing. It is therefore recommended to electrically insulate the sen- sors in order to prevent electrical current flow due to po- tential differences between sensor locations, or to take ade- quate counter measures.

Commissioning 4.2.4 Advanced features description Synchronization Synchronization is an important feature for deterministic «real-time» operations and required for the oversampling feature! By synchronizing the internal clocks of the devices, a pre- cise time allocation of down to 1us is possible. This allows collecting data from different slaves with the same defined time stamp for precise data processing with very low time jitter.

After configuration of the Hardware structure, the Type 5074 is listed in the Devices tree and allows access to its cyclic data and configuration.

Digital industrial charge amplifier Type 5074A 4.2.5.3 Configuration during operation It is common for some applications, that measuring range and scaling divisor of a measuring channel need to be ad- justed during a full process cycle. Using CoE commands, new configuration data for measur- ing channels can be sent to the Type 5074 for channel ad- justment.

Please make sure, that the internal time constant functionality is not activated, since this would result in such behavior. To rectify the defect, return the charge amplifier to the responsible Kistler sales center/distributor for repair. Cause 2 The signal at the output drifts linearly in the positive or neg- ative direction.
Page 45
The zero of the charge amplifier input stage can be recalibrated if the problem persists. Send the amplifier to the responsible Kistler sales center/distributor to have this carried out. Cause 3 is readily diagnosed by removing the sensor and sensor cable and connecting a charge calibrator for testing.

Glossary Hysteresis The maximum difference in output, at any measurand value within the specified range, when the value is approached first increasing and then decreasing measurand (source: ANSI/ISA-S37.1). Note: The quartz crystal itself has a scarcely measurable hys- teresis. However, the mechanical construction of the sensor can result in slight hysteresis.

Digital industrial charge amplifier Type 5074A Phase response ϕ -180 0.01 In their dynamic behavior, piezoelectric sensors are superior to all other measuring methods. Their high rigidity results in the highest possible natural frequencies. Piezoelectric sen- sors are thus ideal for measuring measurands which change rapidly over time.
Glossary 7.4 Influence of Temperature Temperature changes during a measurement result in an er- ror signal in the form of a zero drift. In critical applications, we recommend that protection be provided for the sensor as far as possible against changes in temperature. Temperature error of the zero point (static error) Temperature error [unit of the measurand/°C] is the great- est change to the output signal in a specified measuring...
