VT3WThree line system, new third generationvortex streetThe flow meter circuit has a signal measurement circuit divided intoMSPTwo types of mixed digital signal processing and improved classical analog amplification and filtering circuits are used to cope with various complex on-site environments.
(1)MSPHybrid adaptive digital signal processing front-end circuit:
Adopting a streamlined and efficient low-power new digital signal processing circuit, after years of research and improvement, we have abandoned the second-generation pure software filtering processing scheme that is difficult to solve the lower bound irregular waves.Creatively utilizing front-end pre-processing hardware with adjustable charge matching amplification, adjustable gain transformation, and fine partition filtering,Window function andFFTPerform time-domain and frequency-domain diversification software processing using wavelet signal theory such as spectrum analysis. The concept of partition restrictionsanswerA/DConvert the collected vortex street signalsMSP-Mixed digital signal processing, using16Interval limited filteringIt has been better resolved due toUncertainty of flow medium density and viscositySexual induced vortex circuit operationThe significant deviation in frequency causes the filtering frequency band to be inconsistent with the on-site work, leading to the problem of significant measurement distortion.And created a unique creation byFlow waveform analysis for determining measurement lower limit through waveform matching and signal-to-noise ratioConcept, for the long-term troubled vortex flowmeterPoor seismic resistance, unstable lower limit, resistant50HzPoor electromagnetic interference, etcThe problem has arisenSignificant improvementCan beAccurate setting of working parametersMixed processing of hardware and software, mixed calculation of time and frequency domains, and output frequency corresponding to the flow rateIt can accurately measure the flow rates of gases, liquids, and vapors over a wide range of flow rates.
(2) Improved classic analog amplification filtering front-end circuit:

But yesDN350The above filtering is slightly weakened. at the same timeK2andK3Symmetry is beneficial for synchronous adjustment. Improved the pulse output circuit, which has a certain degree of adaptability to high frequency and output driving. Added filtering and protection to the power input section, improving reliability and resistance to power noise interference.

MSPBoth digital and analog models use the same backend wiring board (the two amplification display processing circuits are interchangeable). Can be translated in Chinese/English prompt: Select the software menu to adapt to various calibers and measurement medium sections (only applicable)MSPType). After data processing, it is processed byLCD12864lcd. The signal remote transmission circuit can use a three wire system4-20mAoutputelectric currentSignal. There is also a versatile programmable pulse output signal that can be programmed into various output modes. Also available for pairingMODBUS485-RTUCommunication.
1) Pulse output mode:
A、 Signal frequency output: Directly output the frequency of the probe detection signal in real time, usually used for instrument calibration.
B、 Correction frequency output: the output of real-time monitoring signals corrected according to the flow coefficient
C、 Frequency output: Output the converted frequency, and the frequency value is output according to the full flow rate1000HzLinear calculation.
D、 Pulse output: Output converted pulses, and the number of pulses is calculated by dividing the cumulative flow rate of each calculation cycle by the pulse equivalent. Only output is allowed for each calculation cycle1000If the actual number of pulses within the calculation period is greater than one pulse1000If one, it will automatically accumulate and output to the next calculation cycle; Each small cycle only allows output4If the actual number of pulses within the calculation period is insufficient, the pulse count will be one pulse4If there are one pulse, it will automatically accumulate and output to the next calculation cycle; The effective level of the output pulse is high. pourMeaning: Engineers need to set appropriate pulse equivalent factors based on the current applicable object.
E、 Upper limit alarm output—When the alarm flow exceeds the set alarm output, the output transistor will conduct to ground at a low level during the alarm; When not in alarm mode, the output transistor is turned off, and the pull-up resistor causes the terminal to be at a high level.
F、 Lower limit alarm output—Output an alarm below the set alarm flow rate, and when the alarm occurs, the output transistor will conduct to ground at a low level; When not in alarm mode, the output transistor is turned off, and the pull-up resistor causes the terminal to be at a high level.
2) Current output:
The current output is linear4-20mAThe output range is[4-22.4]mAWhen the instantaneous flow rate is less than or equal to the lower cut-off flow rate, or the signal frequency is0When, output4mAelectric current. In other cases, the current is output according to the cut-off flow rate4mAFull flow output20mALinearly calculate the output current value, if the calculated current value exceeds22.4mA,The highest output22.4mA.
3) ModbusCommunication function:
The transmitter supportsModbusof4800and9600Baud rate communication, throughModbus-RTUprotocol3The command (read and hold register) dynamically reads various parameters of the instrument running in real-time, with a response time of50mSWithin;ModbusMinimum interval between consecutive commands100mS;
4) Usage environment:
Due to different environmental temperatures,LCDThe display response speed of the screen also changes, and if it is at low temperaturesLCDA fast refresh rate can cause unclear display. Use the "Environmental Temperature" option in the Engineer menu to set the selectionLCDThe refresh rate of the screen is-20℃Can be used in low-temperature environments.
5) Frequency band selection:
According to the frequency range division of vortex signals16The frequency bands are:1.6-45Hz、2.4-65Hz、3.6-90Hz、4.8-120Hz、6.4-160Hz、8.8-220Hz、11-275Hz、14-350Hz、18-450Hz、22-550Hz、28-700Hz、34-850Hz、42-1050Hz、52-1300Hz、64-1600Hz、96-2400HzUsers can set the appropriate frequency band in the engineer menu based on the intended use of the transmitter. Note that if the frequency band setting does not match the signal object, the transmitter will not function properly.
