GKP3 Low Frequency Vibration Sensor

Product catalog summary
Product Introduction
The GKP3 is a triaxial vibration sensor designed for precise low-frequency vibration monitoring. It operates in the 0Hz or 0.1–100Hz frequency bands and supports the MODBUS protocol. The sensor is easy to install, resistant to electromagnetic interference, and suitable for applications such as satellite communication systems and radar antenna vehicles.
Application Scope
  • Monitoring low-frequency vibrations in building structures
  • Measuring vibrations in large rotating equipment
  • Detecting minor vibrations in isolation platforms
  • Measuring ultra-low frequency amplitudes in flexible structures
Technical Highlights
  • Triaxial MEMS sensor
  • Resolution: 1µg
  • Measurement range: ±2g
  • Output options: RS485, RS232, TTL
  • IP67 protection rating
Performance Parameters
The sensor offers a measurement range of ±2g, a resolution of 1µg, and a bandwidth of 0.1~100 Hz. It supports various output rates and interfaces, with a power consumption of less than 16mA at 12 VDC.
Installation and Wiring
The sensor should be installed parallel to the target surface to minimize errors. It uses a 2-meter PVC shielded wire and an M12*1.0 male 5-core connector. Proper grounding and terminating resistors are recommended for stable communication.
Communication Protocol
The GKP3 supports serial communication and MODBUS RTU protocols. Default settings include a baud rate of 9600, no parity for serial communication, and even parity for MODBUS. The protocol allows for reading and writing data, with specific commands for setting parameters and modes.
Data Frame Format
Data frames for both serial and MODBUS protocols include identifiers, data length, address codes, and checksums. The MODBUS protocol uses a CRC16 checksum and requires a minimum idle time between frames.
Installation Precautions
Ensure the sensor is mounted on a flat, stable surface and aligned parallel to the measurement axis to avoid errors. Incorrect installation can lead to measurement inaccuracies.
Ordering and Selection
Models are available with different signal outputs and communication protocols, such as RS232 with serial communication or RS485 with MODBUS.
Overview: This document provides technical instructions for configuring and operating tilt sensors connected to a bus system. It includes procedures for setting addresses, zero points, baud rates, parity bits, output modes, and automatic data output items.
1. Address and Zero Point Configuration:
  • Set all tilt sensors to a specific address or zero point (relative/absolute).
  • Commands must be sent twice consecutively for effectiveness, with no other data frames in between.
2. Sensor Data Reading:
  • Use Modbus Function Code 03H to read sensor data.
  • Data includes sensor address, function code, access register start address, and data length.
3. Sensor Address Setting:
  • Default sensor address is 1; use Function Code 06H to change it.
  • Commands must be sent twice consecutively.
4. Baud Rate Configuration:
  • Factory default baud rate is 9600bps; can be set to various rates (4800 to 230400bps).
  • Commands must be sent twice consecutively.
5. Parity Bit Configuration:
  • Default is even parity; can be set to no parity or odd parity.
  • Changes take effect after a power cycle.
6. Output Mode Setting:
  • Factory default is 0Hz; can be set to various frequencies (1Hz to 100Hz).
  • Automatic output is only available when one product is connected to the 485 bus.
7. Automatic Data Output Configuration:
  • Set automatic output data items using Function Code 06H.
  • Example provided for setting all data outputs.
8. Zero Point Setting:
  • Use Function Code 06H to set relative or absolute zero points.
  • Non-zero value represents a relative zero; zero value represents an absolute zero.
Additional Information: The document includes examples of command usage and notes on register addresses and CRC checksums.

Male connector Signal ground Male connector Signal ground Interface connection instructions- 1. Select cables that conform to RS-485/RS-232 standards, ensuring the cable quality and performance meet the requirements. Twisted-pair cable is recommended due to its better anti-interference capability. 2. At both terminal devices in the RS-485/RS-232 communication network, terminating resistors (typically 120 ohms) need to be connected to eliminate signal reflections. Avoid connecting terminating resistors on intermediate devices to prevent signal interference. 3. To ensure system stability and security,...

Please install the tilt sensor correctly. Incorrect installation will lead to measurement errors. Pay special attention to two key aspects: 1) The sensor mounting surface must be tightly, flat, and stable against the surface being measured. Uneven mounting surfaces can easily cause angular errors in the sensor measurement. 2) The sensor axis and the axis being measured must be parallel, and the two axes should ideally not form an angle. Mounting surface [vf Communication Protocol The product supports two protocols: serial communication and MODBUS RTU. The default configuration parameters for...

Set the sensor's relative/absolute zero point: (Modbus function code 06H) Note: 0010 is the register address, which controls the sensor's current angle to be zero degrees, and the accelerations X, Y, Z to be 0, 0,1g. If it is non-zero (as in the example above, it is written to 00FFH), the output is a relative zero point. Conversely, if it is zero (by changing the 5th and 6th bytes to 00H), it is an absolute zero point. The last two bytes are the CRC checksum.
