Page 115  INSTRUMENT GROUNDING The Simcenter SCADAS Mobile & Recorder are Class A instruments. This means that it is safe to operate the instrument under all conditions, provided the end-user takes care of proper grounding to the instrument, independent of either an AC or DC power source. Proper grounding is essential, not only from a safety point of view but also to control and prevent ground loops.
Page 116 User Manual COOLING REQUIREMENTS The heat management of the Simcenter SCADAS Mobile & Recorder is designed to enable operation without the help of a cooling fan. Most of the internally dissipated energy is thermally conducted to the case and the cooling ribs at the back of the instrument.
Page 117 Operation PREPARE FOR FRONT-END OPERATION In front-end mode the Simcenter SCADAS Mobile or Simcenter SCADAS Recorder is connected to a host PC that has Simcenter Testlab or Simcenter Testxpress installed. Connection is established over LAN via Ethernet. Simcenter Testlab or Simcenter Testxpress will be in full control during data acquisition.
Page 118 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual Note: The application program Simcenter Testxpress supports the so-called ‘Compact Flash parallel mode’ when an Simcenter SCADAS Recorder is connected. In this special front-end mode a back-up of the measurement can be recorded onto the Compact Flash card of the Recorder. Version 2.12...
Page 119 It is essential to use cables with the correct wire gage. It is strongly recommended that you only use accessories delivered by Siemens. In this part Simcenter Testlab and Simcenter Testxpress are addressed as ‘the application program’.

Page 121 Chapter 5 Operation PREPARE THE TEMPLATE To make a recording in stand-alone mode the Simcenter SCADAS Recorder must have a Compact Flash (CF) card inserted with a valid template on it. Important: In case multiple templates are on the CF card, the Simcenter SCADAS Recorder will use the file that is considered ‘first’.

Page 128 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual ICP TRANSDUCERS This part provides advised methods and relevant details for connection of ICP transducers. General information ICP (Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric) transducers, also called Piezotron™, Isotron™ or Deltatron™, are IEPE piezoelectric sensors with an integrated amplifier. This amplifier, powered by a constant current supply, converts the high impedance charge signal from a piezoelectric crystal or microphone membrane to a low impedance voltage signal.
Page 129 Chapter 5 Operation CHARGE TRANSDUCERS This part provides details with respect to I/O modules of type: VC8-E (single-ended charge input). The Microdot connectors of this module are fitted with neoprene rings; see figure on the left. Make sure these rings do not come off and replace them if necessary.

Page 134 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual CONNECT STRAIN GAGES TO BRIDGE INPUTS (V-SUPPLY) This part provides advised methods and relevant details for connection of strain gages to modules that support bridge inputs (voltage supply), being: VB8-II, VB8-III, DB8-II, DB8-III, DB8A, DB8B, DB8C, DB8-IIIC.
Page 135 Chapter 5 Operation FULL BRIDGE CONNECTION: 6 WIRE OR 4 WIRE From a pure measurement point of view, the full bridge is always the preferred configuration, even if you don’t have an active full bridge and the number of active gages is less than four. On the other hand, the full bridge is also the least practical of strain gage configurations, in terms of installation time.
Page 136 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual HALF BRIDGE CONNECTION: 5 WIRE OR 3 WIRE The half bridge configuration works best with two active gages, but is often used with one active gage and one “passive” gage for compensation purposes. The half bridge configuration offers two important advantages: Full compensation of voltage loss over power lines through the use of sense lines.
Page 137 Chapter 5 Operation QUARTER BRIDGE CONNECTIONS The single gage quarter bridge mode is the most common bridge mode. The positive supply sense line (pin 2) is optional and will generally not be used in practical scenarios. The modules offer two values for the internal completion resistor: 120Ω...

Page 139 Chapter 5 Operation CONNECT OTHER SENSORS TO BRIDGE INPUTS (V-SUPPLY) This part provides advised methods and relevant details for connection of other types of sensors (than strain gages) to modules that support bridge inputs (voltage supply), being: VB8-II, VB8III-RT, DB8-II, DB8III, DB8A, DB8B, DB8C, DB8IIIC. Next to bridge type sensors such as strain gages, these modules allow connection of potentiometers, active sensors, ICP sensors and voltage sources.

Page 141 Chapter 5 Operation Note: Be aware that in active sensor mode (both differential and single-ended) the positive power supply is a fixed +14.3 VDC. Version 2.12...
Page 142 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGE MODE CONNECTIONS SINGLE ENDED VOLTAGE / ICP / TEDS MODE CONNECTIONS Note: Be aware that for single-ended V/ICP/TEDS mode a different input signal pin is used (pin 7). LVDT – AC EXCITATION Note: Connection 1: +Vsupply and -V supply are powered by an AC source.
Page 143 Chapter 5 Operation DC ACCELEROMETERS There are three different underlying technologies for DC accelerometers: Capacitive DC accelerometers (mechanical)  Capacitive DC accelerometers (MEMS)  Piezoresistive DC accelerometers (MEMS)  The term “MEMS” stands for Micro Electro Mechanical System. CAPACITIVE DC ACCELEROMETERS (MECHANICAL) The principle of the mechanical capacitive DC accelerometer is depicted below: This is a mechanical structure, basically consisting of two fixed electrodes and two flexible electrodes.
Page 144 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual The two variable capacitors are placed in a classical Wheatstone bridge, and an AC bridge excitation is applied. The AC output (imbalance) of the bridge is filtered, resulting in a DC output of the sensor, representing the amount of acceleration.
Page 145 Chapter 5 Operation The module provides an active sensor supply of +14.3VDC and it can provide a maximum sensor supply current of 20mA (which are both OK for the 3701). Make sure to look at these two parameters, as they are crucial in deciding whether a sensor can be connected to the module in active sensor mode or not: required supply voltage and required supply current.
Page 146 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual Endevco 7290 series Another popular capacitive DC accelerometer is the Endevco 7290. The main difference between the 3701 and the 7290 is that the 7290 has a differential output, instead of a single-ended one. VB8-II, DB8-II and DB8C offer a dedicated input mode for this type of sensor: This is the so-called active sensor differential mode that is able (like the single-ended active sensor mode) to provide a +14.3VDC sensor supply at 20mA max.
Page 147 Chapter 5 Operation In this mode, the sensor supply ground is connected to the negative bridge supply voltage and the signal is picked up differentially. Kistler 8310 series The Kistler 8310 is again a typical example of a single-ended active sensor, and it can be connected to Simcenter SCADAS hardware in a similar way as the PCB 3701.
Page 148 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual CAPACITIVE DC ACCELEROMETERS (MEMS) A MEMS capacitive DC accelerometer principally works according to the same mechanism as a mechanical capacitive DC accelerometer, only now the mechanical structure is built on an electronic chip (silicon): The advantage of such an architecture is obvious, as both the conditioning electronics and the sensor itself can be located on the same chip.
Page 149 Chapter 5 Operation PCB 3711 series The 3711 can again be connected in both single-ended active sensor mode and “sensor with excitation single ended” mode, but depending on the type of 3711 there can be different output offsets at zero g. The one shown above is the 3711A, which has approx. 2.5V offset, but the 3711D will have no structural offset around its power/signal ground potential.
Page 150 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual PIEZORESISTIVE DC ACCELEROMETERS (MEMS) Silicon, being a crystal type of material, possesses certain properties that make it useful as a piezoresistive sensor material. When a force is applied to this sensor, as a result of acceleration, the resistive properties of the material change.
Page 151 Chapter 5 Operation Measurement Specialties 4600 (single axis) and 4630 (triax) series As the diagram shows, the internal architecture is clearly a full bridge, but the 4600 and 4630 have some output electronics. The most logical way to connect these sensors is in “sensor with excitation differential” mode, but the active sensor differential mode is also a possibility.
Page 152 SCADAS Mobile & Recorder User Manual Endevco 2262 series As the 2262 behaves as a passive full bridge, the preferred connection method for this sensor is “sensor with excitation differential”. Version 2.12...
