Strain gauge: Electronic component that will change its resistance while its length has changed. Strain gauges are used in the FMS force sensors for acquisition of the feedback value.
In addition, a PROFIBUS interface is integrated to the electronic unit. The electronic unit can process the signals of two force sensors (sum signal). EMGZ473: The EMGZ473 is built into a compact aluminium housing according to IP67. The cover has an electrical function identical to the PROFIBUS standard plug (connection of the cables and termination).
PROFIBUS interface. PROFIBUS interface The EMGZ473/474 operates as PROFIBUS DP slave according to EN 50170. All settings and the entire communication is done by the integrated PROFIBUS interface. 4.4 Block Diagram fig.
(ref. to „9. Calibrating the measuring amplifier“)? • Draw your final wiring diagram according to the wiring diagram (refer to „7.4 Wiring diagram EMGZ473“ / „7.5 Wiring diagram EMGZ474“) • Install and wire all your components (refer to „7. Installation and wiring“) •...
7.2 Mounting the Force Sensors Mounting of the force sensors is done referring to the FMS Installation manual which is delivered together with the force sensors. Wiring of the force sensor cables to the terminals is done according to the wiring diagram (fig. 6 and 7). This means all analogue wiring is done.
Only one cable connected – Termination set If only one cable is connected (Bus in), the connection must be terminated properly. EMGZ473: The two termination jumpers (J10, J11) have to be set (fig. 5). EMGZ474: Termination is done according to the instructions of the plug manufacturer.
Operating Manual EMGZ473/474 7.7 Setting the PROFIBUS Address The measuring amplifier requires a unique PROFIBUS address which indicates it definitely in the whole PROFIBUS network. Therefore no other PROFIBUS device in the network may use the same address. The address has to be between 0...125.
The PROFIBUS DP master has to know which devices are connected to the PROFIBUS network. For this purpose the GSD file is required. The GSD file for the EMGZ473/474 measuring amplifier can be taken from the following internet address: http://www.fms-technology.com/gsd The GSD file can also be supplied on a floppy disk on request.
Operating Manual EMGZ473/474 8.4 Configuration The configuration defines how many process data (byte and word) are sent during the cyclic communication from the control system to the measuring amplifier and from the measuring amplifier to the control system. It is normally set to a fixed value for a program with the programming tool of the control system.
Operating Manual EMGZ473/474 8.5 Process Data The number of process data specified in the configuration is transmitted cyclically. There are manin reference value, main actual value, control byte and status byte. Control byte (STB) The control byte transmits the required command to the measuring amplifier. (Module 1 only) Master →...

Operating Manual EMGZ473/474 9 Calibrating the Measuring Amplifier To get correct measuring values, offset and gain have to be determinated while setting into operation. There are several methods for this task: Method Use with Advantage Simulating method Module 1+2 No settings required for the...
Operating Manual EMGZ473/474 9.2 Simulating Method, Calibration using Initial Parameters The following instructions are referring to a setup and calibration on-site. The material tension will be simulated by a weight (fig. 10). Offste and Gain calibration is done in the measuring amplifier using the initial parameter (ref.
• Offset adjustment has to be done as described fig. 11: Force vectors in the FMS force measuring under „Simulating bearing C431012e method, calibration using control byte“.
Operating Manual EMGZ473/474 9.5 Configuring the Lowpass Filter The measuring amplifier provides a lowpass filter. It is used to eliminate faulty signal variations which may be caused by unbalanced rollers, vibrations of the machine, or equivalent. Signal variations which are faster than the cut-off frequency are then suppressed.
