15-bit signed strain value, 16 bit signed speed value, and 24 bits of status information contained in every data sample. • Four dual color LEDs on stationary interface for system status and error indication in addition to status information contained in the RS-485 Modbus serial communications data.

The transmitter is powered inductively from the stationary ring. 1.1.2 Stationary Interface The stationary interface generates power for, and receives data from the transmitter. The stationary interface then communicates the data to a connected host device through a bi-directional RS-485 Modbus interface. TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...
Each TPM2 is custom made to fit a certain shaft size range. Therefore the shaft diameter must be specified at time of order. Do not try to adapt the TPM2 to a shaft size outside its intended range of operation. TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...

S/N converter from B&B Electronics (Advantech); http://www.bb- elec.com. Any RS-485 interface should work but may not work with the standard Binsfeld TPM2 Modbus Configuration software (P/N 818007). Please see section 4 of this document for detailed communications protocol information.
The Stator LED has two modes during normal operation. Typically it operates as an indicator for the status of Stator main regulated voltage, main regulator over current, power amplifier over temperature, and connected device communications. TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...
1.75Hz when frequency is increasing from below 0.88Hz. The low frequency threshold is approximately 0.88Hz when frequency is decreasing from above 1.75Hz. If the duration of speed pulses becomes too short or pulse frequency is erratic, the Speed LED flashes red (not green). TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...
A 50% duty cycle 1.2Hz flashing rate indicates that the transmitter input signal is out of range, either common mode or differential mode. A 50% duty cycle 4.7Hz flashing rate indicates that the transmitter input reference signal is out of range. If the Transmitter LED is OFF, the transmitter voltage is very low.

32 (1mV/V) Zero speed threshold 60 RPM Binsfeld Engineering TPM2 Modbus Configuration software (P/N 818007) running on a Windows PC can be used for configuration. See TPM2 Modbus Configuration software manual P/N 818007-9 for more information. DATA BYTE FORMAT Each transmitted or received byte consists of 1 start bit, and 8 data bits. Baud rate, parity, and the number of stop bits is configurable.
Strain Value (Modbus register 6) The Strain Value is a 16 bit signed integer that is used to calculate the torque strain using the equation: є = (Val * 2) / (G * GF) xmtr TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...
The Shaft Speed Value is updated once per shaft revolution. This new value is transmitted with the next sample and the RPM_NEW status flag is set to indicate a new shaft speed measurement. This same value is reported on subsequent samples until the shaft completes another rotation and a new speed is measured. TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...
P = (T * 2π * ω) / K P = power (watts or hp) 2π is radians/revolution ω = rotational speed (RPM) = units dependent power constant (for watts, K = 60: for hp K = 33,000) TorqueTrak TPM2 Modbus (866-620-9-D) www.binsfeld.com...

The effects of Transmitter Control Commands are delayed due to internal communications between the Transmitter and the TPM2. Transmitter control commands that modify either the gain or shunts require approximately 2.5 seconds to take effect. A command that modifies both gain and shunts at the same time requires 4 seconds.
