Rion AKP342 Wind Turbine Dedicated Vibration sensor

Product catalog summary
General Description: The AKP342 is a high-precision, low-noise three-axis vibration sensor designed for monitoring wind turbines. It features calibration across the entire temperature range and long-term stability testing. The sensor integrates FFT functionality to measure vibrations and provides various output values such as effective, maximum, and minimum values, peak-to-peak value, and main frequency. It supports MODBUS protocol and offers RS485, RS422, and RS232 output interfaces. The sensor is non-contact and easy to install, with strong resistance to electromagnetic interference.
Features: The sensor measures 82x70x42mm, operates on a wide voltage range (9-36V DC), and has a resolution of 1ug. It is IP67 rated, operates in temperatures from -40 to +85°C, and supports triaxial measurement. Output modes include RS485, RS422, and RS232.
Applications: The AKP342 is suitable for wind power generation monitoring, bridge and dam monitoring, ancient building monitoring, high-speed rail monitoring, satellite communication vehicles, and geological equipment tilt monitoring.
Specifications: The sensor has a range of ±2g, a deviation calibration of <1mg, and a noise density of 21μg/√Hz. It supports a bandwidth of 0.1~10Hz and has a resonant frequency of 2.4kHz. The output rate options range from 5Hz to 100Hz.
Electrical Parameters: The sensor operates on a supply voltage of 9-36V, with current consumption of 16mA at 12V. It functions within an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
Mechanical Parameters: The sensor uses an aviation plug connector, has an IP67 protection rating, and is made from anodized aluminum alloy. It is installed using four M6 screws.
Installation Notes: Proper installation is crucial to avoid measurement errors. The sensor's mounting surface must be tightly fixed and parallel to the surface being measured.
Working Principle: The sensor uses a capacitive miniature pendulum and the earth's gravity to measure acceleration, which is then processed to determine frequency and amplitude.
Communication Protocol: The sensor supports the 68 protocol and MODBUS RTU protocol, with default settings for baud rate and parity. Switching between protocols involves specific commands and configurations.
Data Output: The sensor outputs data in a structured format, with options for automatic output based on set commands. Data includes acceleration, effective values, maximum and minimum values, and temperature frequency.
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and procedures for configuring the AKP342 Vibration Sensor used for fan monitoring. It includes instructions on setting sensor addresses, baud rates, parity bits, output modes, and using MODBUS communication protocols.
1. Sensor Address Configuration:
  • The default address is 00. When multiple sensors are connected, each must have a unique address.
  • To change the address, update all command and response data packets with the new address code.
  • Example commands are provided for setting and resetting addresses.
  • Common address FF can be used if the set address is forgotten.
2. Serial Port Configuration:
  • Baud Rate: Default is 9600. Options range from 2400 to 230400. Commands must be sent twice for changes to take effect.
  • Parity Bit: Default is even parity. Options include no parity and odd parity. Changes are valid after power-up.
3. Output Mode Configuration:
  • Default output mode is 0 HZ. Options range from Q & A mode to 100 HZ.
  • Commands must be sent twice for changes to take effect.
4. MODBUS Communication Protocols:
  • Uses RTU mode with 'big-Endian' format and CRC16 for data verification.
  • Default communication parameters include address 1, baud rate 9600, and even parity.
  • Commands must be sent twice consecutively for reliability.
5. Automatic Output Data Item:
  • Commands are provided to set automatic output data items, with options ranging from 10 to 100.
6. Important Notes:
  • Ensure a 10 ms interval between data frames for MODBUS communication.
  • Parameters can only be changed once per power-up.

Please install the tilt sensor according to the correct method. Incorrect installation will lead to measurement errors. Pay special attention to one "surface" and two "lines": 1) The mounting surface of the sensor and the surface to be measured must be fixed tightly, smoothly and stably. If the mounting surface is uneven, it is easy to cause the error of the included angle measured by the sensor. 2) The axis of the sensor must be parallel to the axis to be measured, and the two axes should not form an angle as far as possible.

Note that please read the following items carefully before use: 1 > To ensure normal communication, please leave a time interval of 10ms between two data frames. Master sends command --10 ms idle -- Slave replies command --10 ms idle -- Master sends command 2 > The protocol specifies the broadcast address -- 255. The sensor can also accept the broadcast address content, but will not reply (except for the function of reading the address code). Therefore, the broadcast address 255 can be used for the following purposes for reference only. 1 .Set the address of all the tilt sensors of this model...

MODBUS uses RTU mode, 'big-Endian' indicates address and data items, takes CRC16 to verify data, supports 0x03 to read holding register and 0x06 to write single register. 1. Data frame format: Default communication parameters: address 1, baud rate 9600, 1start bit, 8-bit data, even parity, 1stop bit; CRC check: the range is the check of all bytes before the CRC field, and 16-bit CRC check is used.

Note that please read the following items carefully before use: 1 > Because the MODBUS protocol stipulates that the time between two data frames should be at least more than 3.5 bytes (for example, under the baud rate of 9600, the time is 3.5 x (1/9600) x 11 = 0.004s). However, in order to leave enough margin, please leave a time interval of 10 ms between each data frame. Please note that the automatic output of the product does not consider the T3.5 time. Master sends command -- 10 ms idle -- Slave replies command -- 10 ms idle -- Master sends command 2 > The MODBUS protocol specifies the relevant...

Commands must be sent twice in a row to be valid The above example is to format the byte as: one start bit + 8 data bits without parity + 1stop bit Valid after power up again. Factory default is one start bit + 8 data bits even parity + 1stop bit Note: 0009 is the register address that controls the sensor serial parity bit. 0000H: one start bit + 8 data bits even parity + 1stop bit 0001H: one start bit + 8 data bits without check + 1stop bit 0002H: one start bit + 8 data bits odd parity + 1stop bit
