Signal “Cross Talk” Solution

Alliance Sensors Group has solved the age old problem of cross talk between sensors even if the master signal conditioner fails.

When LVDT signal cables are bundled together or laid close to each other in a wire trough, even for short distances, the result can be a mutual interference phenomenon called heterodyning or “beating”. This effect is created when the frequencies of the oscillator in the individual signal conditioner driving the excitation signal to each LVDT vary slightly. Since the signal cables are close together, they can couple among each other, resulting in a very low frequency signal that is the difference between the frequencies of the individual oscillators. This difference frequency signal can ride on the DC output of the LVDT signal conditioners, appearing as low frequency ripple or noise with a period measured in fractions of a second, or as a repetitive slow drift with a period of many seconds. When a pair of LVDTs are used together for redundancy, this effect may be evident on only one channel of the system. In systems with larger numbers of LVDT channels, this effect may be found in one or more channels, depending on many factors like cable length and layout as well as shielding and grounding.

Alliance Sensors Group has considered this beat frequency problem with multiple LVDT installations and developed a successful solution to this problem. Because the S1A and its variants have a digital address for RS485 communication capability, we are able to use this digital feature to maintain the full redundancy of multiple LVDT systems. If the “master” were to fail, another “master” having a different digital address would instantly come on stream to maintain a single excitation frequency. In this approach the only thing lost in a “master” oscillator failure is the former master channel itself. For multiple channel LVDT systems, the integrity of the output signals from the other channels is fully maintained. This “auto-mastering” feature is unique to the Alliance Sensors S1A and its variants.

Field Force Automation Program

Doble Engineering Co., a subsidiary of ESCO Technologies Inc., released its Field Force Automation program, a customizable platform that helps power companies meet requirements of new NERC CIP regulations by standardizing diagnostic testing and data collection programs through a combination of rugged controllers, testing software, custom engineering and data management processes.

Using Field Force Automation, companies are able to consolidate field test data and automatically save and sync it from the jobsite to the office. By automating as many as seven manual steps in traditional testing workflows, companies can greatly reduce the risk of human error and expedite the data collection process. Supervisors and managers are able to immediately access the data the moment it is synced, review it in real time and remotely access the controllers to collaborate with their field engineers and verify test results before leaving the job site. Rather than having test data stored in disparate forms and various locations, Field Force Automation centralizes the data and drastically improves its security, ultimately providing the right people with access to reliable, comprehensive data.

One of the ways Doble’s Field Force Automation program helps companies meet the new NERC CIP Version 6 standards is through its rugged controllers which are configured as “locked-down” devices to ensure they are only able to execute necessary, work-related tasks and to limit its communication capabilities for security purposes.

The program also makes it easy for Doble to generate government-facing reports for clients to demonstrate compliance and adherence to testing and data management processes. These reports can show who has used the program, what system they accessed it from, its geographical location, the software version and the specific work that was done. Providing this level of specificity ultimately helps utility companies to successfully complete audits.
