1.2 Features and functions
The ZPU-5000 executes various types of measurements in both automatic and manual mode, and transmits
information to the server running the ZOOM software for rapid display and analysis of collected data.The
ZPU-5000 uses high-speed TCP/IP communication protocols to communicate with the server.
The ZPU-5000 can synchronize the acquisition of all parameters with the passing of each rotor pole for salient
pole units. It tracks up to 16 high speed inputs (air gap, displacement, vibration, etc.) from standstill to
over-speed conditions. It is also possible to interconnect additional ZPUs to extend monitoring range and
capabilities.
The ZPU-5000 is linked via its 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port to a network that includes the server. It can also be
operated locally in a standalone configuration without connection to a server.
