RE3D PROGRAMING
4.3.1
Programming Notes
The RE3D is a highly configurable device. Using the rotary encoders and display allows the unit to be setup to perform
many measurement tasks. For instance the output from a strain gauge bridge can be displayed directly in µ
ε
or the
reading can be scaled to display torque in Nm. Alternatively the scaling can be set to display any arbitrary value, for
instance a % of safe working load, load in Kg etc.
The analogue outputs can be scaled to suit any data logger input range and the type of output can be set as required,
for instance is may be desired to log torque and transmitter temperature. If a tachometer added not only can the shaft
rpm be displayed and output but the shaft power also.
In fact the RE3D is ideally suited to measuring torque or power on any rotating shaft as the mechanical properties of the
shaft can be entered allowing the RE3D to calculate Strain and, if a tachometer is used, also Power. This allows a shaft
torque to be measured without having to remove and calibrate the shaft in a torque rig.
To setup the RE3D the correct transmitter type must first be selected. The available menus will change depending on the
functions available in the particular transmitter.
Next the correct input type must be selected, again the available menus will change depending on the functions available
for the particular input type selected. Note that for a transmitter with programmable gain (TX34D, TX35D etc) the gain is
calculated and can be sent to the transmitter, for a transmitter with resistor set gain (TX31D etc) the gain is calculated and
the correct gain set resistor value is displayed.
The input type options are;
1/.
Strain Transducer
For connection to a strain transducer, for example a load cell. The default output is µ
ε
.
Settings are mV/V and µ
ε
full scale. The calculated gain required is displayed and
calibration resistor value can be calculated.
2/.
Torque Transducer
For connection to a torque transducer with a known mV/V output. The default output is Nm.
Settings are mV/V and torque full scale. The calculated gain required is displayed and
calibration resistor value can be calculated.
3/.
Torque Shaft
For connection to a torque shaft without a known mV/V output. Allows the physical
properties of the shaft to be entered and torque calculated from these. The default output is
Nm. Settings are torque full scale, gauge factor, number of active gauges, shaft external
and internal diameter, the shaft material young’s modulus and poisons ratio. The calculated
gain required is displayed and calibration resistor value can be calculated.
4/.
Strain Bridge
For connection to a strain bridge. The default output is µ
ε
. Settings are µ
ε
full scale, gauge
factor and number of active gauges. The calculated gain required is displayed and
calibration resistor value can be calculated.
5/.
Manual
Allows the gain to set manually. The calculated gain required is displayed and calibration
resistor value can be calculated. For a transmitter with resistor set gain (TX31D etc) the
calculated gain set resistor value is displayed.
Once the transmitter input is set any further settings can be done from the TX Control menu. This will be different for each
transmitter type. For example the TX34D allows the following to be set; one of several calibration signals can be selected,
any offset can be removed, the input can be inverted (useful if the signal pins of a bridge have accidently reversed), the
settings summary can be viewed, the Rf frequency can be adjusted if required.
After setting up the transmitter the input analogue outputs required are set. Several different output options are available
depending on the transmitter type. If a tachometer input is used the power can be displayed and output. The required
analogue output volts can also be selected, examples are ±5V, ±10V, 0-5V 0-10V etc
Any small output gain errors or offset can be removed using the Trim Adjust menu.
The units for the strain output can be set using the Strain Display menu, for example a load cell could have output units of
Kg. Note that the number of decimal points and resolution of the display are set when the full scale value is entered.
If a tachometer is connected to the RE3D the full scale RPM and the number of pulses per revolution can be set.
