VM-741B & VM-741 Chapter 2 Overview of Local Communication & Phase Marker Module
Chapter 2 Overview of Local Communication &

Phase Marker Module
The Local Communication & Phase Marker Module connects the individual monitor modules with the
VM-771B MCL View and the VM-772B Device Config.
It also detects DANGER Alarm and ALERT Alarm in the modules mounted to the rack and displays them.
When it detects the OK alarm, which indicates abnormality in the measurement function, it displays the
SYSTEM-OK alarm.
In addition, it performs waveform shaping on the input phase marker signals to generate reference signals,
which are then supplied to the individual monitor modules via the motherboard.
2.1 Functions
This section provides basic information on the display function, alarm function, output function and control
function provided by this module.
2.1.1 Display Function

 Indicators on the Front Panel
Indicators on the front panel show DANGER Alarm, ALERT Alarm, SYSTEM-OK alarm, DANGER
bypass status, communication status and rotation pulse detection status.
For details about each indicator, see "2.2 Names and Functions of the Individual Parts P.15”.
 Information displayed on MCL View
By installing MCL View on the local PC, you can view various types of information regarding the
module.
2.1.2 Alarm Function

 OK (Abnormal Input) Alarm
If the input signal level of the phase marker becomes abnormal, the OK alarm is output.
Even when the input signal level returns to normal, the OK alarm is retained for approximately another 15
seconds by the off-delay timer.
 DANGER Alarm
The ORed DANGER Alarm of the individual monitor modules stored in the same instrument rack is
output.
 ALERT Alarm
The ORed ALERT Alarm of the individual monitor modules stored in the same instrument rack is output.
 SYSTEM-OK Alarm
If not only the OK alarm of the individual monitor modules stored in the same instrument rack but also
the abnormality of internal power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit and the OK alarm
of the phase marker are detected, all abnormalities are ORed to output a primary contact signal.
Even when the OK alarm returns to normal, the SYSTEM-OK alarm is output for another 20 seconds by
the off-delay timer.
12
 Alarm Relay Mode

Either NORMALLY DE-ENERGIZED or NORMALLY ENERGIZED can be selected by the relay.
For details about the alarm relay mode setting, see "4.8 SYSTEM-OK Relay Setting P.45".
 The use of NORMALLY ENERGIZED (non-energized alarm) is recommended for Alarm Relay
Mode for the SYSTEM-OK alarm.
The use of NORMALLY DE-ENERGIZED (energized alarm) may prevent the relay from being
energized when internal power supply is in an abnormal state.
 Alarm Reset Methods

From the following options, select how the alarm should be handled when the input signal returns to
normal:
Auto-Reset: The alarm status is cancelled automatically.

Self-hold: The alarm status is retained until a short-circuit between RES1 and RES2 terminals on the
instrument rack or until the alarm reset operation on the VM-771B MCL View.
For details about the alarm reset methods, see "4.7.3 Alarm Setting P.44”.
 SYSTEM-OK Alarm Reset Methods
From the following options, select how the SYSTEM-OK alarm should be handled when the OK alarm of
the individual monitor modules in the rack, abnormality in the internal power supply voltage, and the OK
alarm of the phase marker return to normal:
Auto-Reset: The SYSTEM-OK alarm output is cancelled automatically.

Self-hold: The alarm status is retained until a short-circuit between RES1 and RES2 terminals on the
instrument rack or until the alarm reset operation on the VM-771B MCL View.
For details about the SYSTEM-OK alarm reset methods, see "4.8.1 Operation Setting P.45”.
 To activate the contact for external operation, you need to short between terminals for more than 1
second.
 The alarm reset operation does not work while the alarm is output continuously.
13
2.1.3 Output Function

 Monitor Output
The buffered output of the input signal is output from the monitor/pulse output connector on the front
panel and the monitor output connector on the instrument rack.
The monitor output signals are not isolated from the input.
 Pulse Output
The square wave of the phase marker signal is output to the monitor/pulse connector on the front panel.
The pulse output signals are not isolated from the input.
A switch is used to select whether to assign the monitor output signal or the pulse output signal to the
monitor/pulse output connector. For details, see "4.2.2 Monitor/Pulse Output Selection Switch P.26”.
 Contact output
Contact signals output from the relay are output from the contact output terminal block on the instrument
rack.

The optimum trigger level for the input waveform is set automatically. Select auto trigger mode under the
following conditions:
What is duty ratio?

 The Eddy-Current Transducer is used, where the target used for
detecting rotation satisfies the recommended dimensions in Duty ratio = A/(A + B) x 100%
"Point GEAR TOOTH FORM SUITABLE FOR
DETECTION", and the input duty ratio is within 10 to 90%. A
B
<Manual Trigger Mode>
The trigger level can be set manually. If the Eddy-Current Transducer is used, and if the target fits the following
description, select manual trigger mode.
 The target used for detecting rotation does not satisfy the recommended dimensions in "Point GEAR
TOOTH FORM SUITABLE FOR DETECTION".
 The frequency of the input signals is under 10Hz.
 The input duty ratio is outside the range of 10% to 90%.
 The waveform is distorted.
Even if none of the above applies, a combination of several conditions may prevent you from performing
measurement in auto trigger mode.
40
Point TRIGGER LEVEL AND HYSTERESIS
Set the trigger level to an appropriate value so that the pulse output signal is output at regular intervals, as
shown in Figure A. A trigger level like the one shown in Figure B may impede the generation of a shaping pulse.
Furthermore, a trigger level like the one shown in Figure C, in which the hysteresis is lower than the internal
noise level, could generate a wrong pulse output signal.

Point HOW TO DETERMINE THE TRIGGER LEVEL

1 Check the monitor output waveform over the full-speed range.
With an eddy current type transducer, the input waveform may deteriorate in the high-speed range due to
variation in the set gap or influence from the frequency characteristics of the transducer. Be sure to check
the waveform over the full-speed range.
2 Set the optimum trigger level based on the observed waveform.
Example: If an eddy current type transducer (VK, FK, RD) is used, with a projection used as a target:
If the input waveform fluctuates as follows over the full-speed range, the optimum trigger
level would be -11V:
Monitor input

Monitor output
-20V Optimum trigger
level: -11V

Gap Low speed Medium speed High speed
Point GEAR TOOTH FORM SUITABLE FOR DETECTION
The gear or the shaft needs to have a projection or a keyway in order to allow the sensor to detect pulse input
signals proportional to the rotor speed. Note that, depending on the shape of the target used for detecting the
rotation signal, a trigger may not work properly, which could lead to malfunction. The target dimensions shown
below allow you to detect the rotation speed without fail even in the event of gap variation caused by axial
runout or vibration. These dimensions are based on VK (type A and type P) input and RD-05A input.

 If the target shifts in the axial direction due to differential expansion, the value set for D should
accommodate such shift in the target position so that the target surface does not lie outside the position of
the sensor.
 A circular projection or circular hole, if used as a target, may easily cause a pitch error or measurement
error due to shaft eccentricity, vibration or displacement in the axial direction, etc. Therefore, such targets
are not appropriate for rotator speed detection.
 Install the sensor so that it is located at the center of the target width direction.

• Holding register no. = 40001 - 49999
Various statuses and measurement values of VM-7 are assigned to the input statuses and holding registers,
which are accessible via Modbus communication.
This chapter describes the assignment of input statuses and holding registers.
In the Modbus communication messages, the target statuses/registers are specified using addresses 0 to 65535
(data reference numbers). In VM-7, the addresses are assigned as follows:
• Input statuses of 10001 to 19999 are specified as 0 to 9998
• Holding registers of 40001 to 49999 are specified as 0 to 9998
* The term "Slot 0" in the manual refers to Local Communication & Phase Marker Module.
Shown below is the list of addresses assigned.

* The table includes addresses that are currently not in use. Such addresses are reserved for future expansion.

Measure Value in 32 Bits Floating Point Format [Read Only]
The measurement values of the individual module channels are assigned to this domain. They are in 32 bit
floating point format.
 "Measure" is the primary measurement value of the channel. The overall value is output for the vibration
monitor, and the rotation speed is output for the tachometer monitor.
 "Gap" is the sensor voltage.
If the module is not inserted into the slot, "0" will be output.
Address Range (Holding Register)

Channel Status [Read Only]
The status of each channel is assigned to this domain.

 "ALERT", "DANGER" and "NOT-OK" represent the alarm status of the channel.
"NOT-OK" of "Slot 0" is the phase marker status.
"1" is output when an alarm occurs, and "0" is output otherwise.
 "1" is output to "Channel Bypass" if the channel bypass is set, and "0" is output if it is canceled.
 "1" is output to "DANGER Bypass" if DANGER Bypass is set, and "0" is output if it is canceled.
 "Not Communicating" indicates that data cannot be retrieved from the channel (communication abnormality).
"1" is output for the channel corresponding to the module removed after power-on, and "0" is output for the
channel corresponding to the module which has been specified as unused or which has been removed since
before power-on.
 "1" is output to "Low Alarm Bypass" if Low Alarm Bypass is set, and "0" is output if it is canceled.
(Applicable to the temperature module only)
 "1" is output to "P-P Out of Range" if the measurement range for the eccentricity (P-P) channel has been
exceeded, and "0" is output if not. (Applicable to the eccentricity (P-P) channel of the tachometer module
only)
* "0" is output if the channel does not exist or if the module has not been installed.
