EPRO CONO31/916-200 eddy current signal converter

The EPRO CON031/916-200, also cataloged as the CON031/916-200 Signal Converter, operates as a dedicated hardware component for eddy current signal conditioning within MMS 6000 and IMR 6000 machinery monitoring platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Gap Voltage Validation and Eddy-Current Probe Scaling

The CON031/916-200 conditions high-frequency RF carrier signals from connected PR-series eddy current proximity probes into linear DC output signals directly proportional to shaft position. Accurate gap voltage validation targeting -10 VDC at probe center range ensures linear probe scaling across radial vibration and axial displacement channels. Fast signal response with rise times under 15 us maintains phase-accurate shaft tracking up to 20000 Hz, critical for high-speed keypulse/phase reference signal processing and dynamic orbit analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is hot-swappable module replacement supported on active monitoring racks?

A: Yes, the CON031/916-200 supports live hot-swap insertion and removal within MMS 6000 and IMR 6000 rack backplanes without interrupting adjacent signal channels or shutting down rack power.

Q: How is the gap voltage verified during probe installation with the CON031/916-200?

A: Gap voltage validation is performed by adjusting probe mechanical standoff until the DC output voltage matches the mid-scale target (typically -10 VDC), establishing the center of the calibrated linear measurement range.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Insert the converter module firmly into the designated MMS 6000 or IMR 6000 rack slot to ensure proper backplane connector alignment.
• Maintain strict shielding continuity along non-contacting probe extension cables, grounding the outer braid at the rack frame to eliminate stray RF noise.
• Verify input supply polarity within the specified negative DC voltage range (-21 VDC to -32 VDC) prior to powering signal loops.
• Route sensor field wiring separately from high-voltage AC motor lines to avoid high-frequency capacitive coupling.
