Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a 4G communication vibration data acquisition card and belongs to the field of data acquisition cards. Background Technology
[0002] A common application scenario in the industry is the online acquisition of vibration data from rotating machinery (fans, motors) for vibration characteristic calculation and analysis, enabling predictive maintenance in the industry. Besides traditional industrial automation, vibration data acquisition cards are also used in various professional fields such as acoustic testing, structural health monitoring, and earthquake monitoring.
[0003] Mainstream hardware configurations:
[0004] 1. Resolution: Modern data acquisition cards typically offer high resolution, with 16-bit and 24-bit being the mainstream. This is crucial for capturing subtle vibration signals.
[0005] 2. Sampling rate: The dynamic range of mainstream acquisition cards covers low frequency (0.1Hz~1kHz) and mid-to-high frequency vibration (1kHz~20kHz).
[0006] 3. Interface compatibility: Mainstream data acquisition cards support IEPE (ICP®) powered accelerometers.
[0007] Number of channels: Multi-channel integrated industrial-grade data acquisition cards typically provide 4 to 32 channels, supporting simultaneous acquisition of multiple channels.
[0008] Anti-interference design: Differential input, shielded cable and isolation technology are used to suppress common-mode noise.
[0009] Data transmission method:
[0010] Since vibration data analysis typically involves real-time acquisition of large amounts of data from multiple channels, most mainstream data acquisition cards use wired interfaces for data transmission. For example, industrial buses like PXI / PXIe, with their low latency (<1μs), are suitable for high-channel-count systems. Portable devices typically use USB 3.0 / 3.1 interfaces to meet the needs of short-distance, high-speed data acquisition. For long-distance distributed measurement applications, mainstream products use 100Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet for remote data transmission.
[0011] For details, please refer to the Chinese utility model patent "A Vibration Data Acquisition Card" with application number CN202321964532.8.
[0012] Existing shortcomings:
[0013] In long-distance distributed scenarios, such as wind turbines, there are characteristics such as long transmission distances and infrequent data acquisition. Using traditional wired vibration data acquisition cards has disadvantages such as difficult and costly wiring; if a combination of traditional wired acquisition cards and wireless forwarding gateways is used, the cost of the wireless forwarding gateways will be added.
