摘要:
There is described a diagnosis method and a system comprising a structure-born noise sensor which transmits, in a bandpass filtered manner, a measuring signal based on the mechanical resonance frequency and capacity thereof and on an inductance and an evaluating device in which the frequency, at which the measuring signal level exceeds a predetermined threshold value, is defined and which is used for producing an error signal, when the frequency exceeds a second predetermined threshold value. As far as the diagnosis performance requires a small number of electronic components and a low power supply, the diagnostic can be integrated into existing devices, in particular into process instrumentation field devised for which a restricted quantity of operating power is available. The method and the system can be used for identifying a valve leakage with the aid of an electro-pneumatic positional regulator.

There is described a method and device for measurement of the specific density of a gaseous or liquid medium, whereby a pulsed acoustic signal is injected into the measured medium by means of a transmitting transducer, the signal is detected by a receiver transducer, after passing over a measured path, whereupon the acoustic impedance Z is automatically determined in an analytical device by comparison of a curve for the currently measured received signal with reference curves, predetermined for various values of the acoustic impedances stored for each value of the acoustic impedance, whereby the propagation speed c of the acoustic signal in the medium is determined and the density p of the medium is calculated as the quotient from the acoustic impedance Z and the propagation speed c. The method is preferably of application to an ultrasound mass flow measurement device and hence has the advantage that no additional density sensor is required, nevertheless permitting a robust and precise measurement of density.

There is described a diagnosis method and system comprising a sensor for structure-borne noise which emits a measuring signal in a bandwidth-filtered manner due to its mechanical resonant frequency, its capacity and an inductance. The system also comprises an evaluation device in which the measuring signal is subsampled measuring signal exceeds a defined threshold value. The system requires only a small number of electronic components and only little power supply capacity, thereby allowing diagnosis to be carried out without complication in existing devices, especially in field devices of process instrumentation for which only a limited amount of operating power is available. The method and system are especially advantageous for the recognition of valve leakage with an electropneumatic position controller.
摘要:
An acoustic pick-up, particularly an ultrasonic pick-up for acoustically diagnosing machines, for example, for detecting leakage in valves or for diagnosing positions, comprising a piezoelectric measuring element and an electronic circuit that processes the measurement signal into a form that is suited for transmission to an evaluation device. In order that the acoustic pick-up can function without an external auxiliary power supply, means are provided by means of which auxiliary power required for operating the electronic circuit can be generated from the acoustic signal to be picked up.
