1. GENERAL INFORMATION VM-5S
OVERVIEW
This is a highly reliable monitor which monitors the rotative speed and zero speed of the rotor.
Both a 10-slot rack mounting type and a single-unit independent type with a built-in power supply
are available so that it can respond flexibly to any system design from medium and small scale
rotating machinery to TSI. It is also possible to set a speed comparison value for comparison with
the rotation speed (including zero speed). It has a built-in self-diagnostic function to inform the
operator of input transducer failures.
FEATURES
• Conforms to API St’d 670
• The monitor is available as a single unit independent type or a rack mounting type.
• Has a self-diagnostic function.
• Allows the operator to change each setting even in the field.
• Important information such as measured value, alarm set value and gap voltage is normally
displayed.
• Can isolate recorder output (option).
• LED display / contact output (DANGER / ALERT alarm).
• LED display / contact output (Input abnormal alarm).
• For alarm output wiring proceed as described in the instruction manuals for the
VM-5G Single Unit Instrument Rack and VM-5Y Relay Module Unit used in
Mandatory combination with this monitor unit.
• If megger test is made on the signal cable between transducer and monitor,
disconnect the cable from transducer and monitor.
Caution Be sure to discharge the charged electric load before connecting the cable to the
transducer and monitor.
If this caution is not adhered to, the transducer and monitor could be damaged.
• When a zero-speed system is designed using this VM-5S Dual Tachometer, avoid
performing control only by using SHINKAWA system, and always add other
condition to this system by using other kind of detection system. If control is
performed only by using this VM-5S Dual Tachometer, it may result in critical
damage on the machine when the monitor or transducer fails or an imperfect
connection to the sensor occurs.
Therefore, as shown in the figure , for reliability and safety, the system should be
designed with other stop conditions as redumdancy (example: combination of
low-revolution speed relay contact and timer until stop)
• For zero-speed monitoring, use an RD tacho driver or FK driver that is capable of
detecting imperfect connections, and specify “Manual” trigger mode.
• In the case of the input signal from a magnetic pickup, the output voltage (pk-pk) of
the magnetic pickup varies depending on the size of gear teeth, the set gap, rotation
speed, etc., and under certain conditions may become high voltage. Therefore, stay
within a range in which the output voltage of the magnetic pickup does not exceed
the monitor input voltage range (100Vpk-pk)

front panel) or by shorting between RES and COM terminal.
• OK alarm / SPEED RELAY reset is not possible until the output condition has been
released.
5-9 MONITOR OUTPUT / PULSE OUTPUT

The input signal from the sensor or the internally shaped pulse signal is output from the BNC
connector on the monitor front panel and buffer output terminal on the rear panel (VM-5G Single
Unit Instrument Rack, VM-5Y Relay Module Unit).
5-10 RECORDER OUTPUT

An analog signal proportional to the rotor speed is output from the terminal block.
5-11 SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

Any failures in the input system, such as sensor broken or imperfect connections, are detected, then
an OK alarm is contact-output and (simultaneously), the OK lamp flashes.
-21-
5-12 POWER SEQUENCE

If mounted in the VM-5G Single Unit Instrument Rack, the secondary power supply can be cut off
by shorting between the P-S (POWER SEQUENCE) and COM terminals.
• This function can be used for pulling out or pulling in the monitor unit at the

7-6 TRIGGER LEVEL AND HYSTERESIS

A pulse-like analog signal is output by a sensor inside the VM-5S and compared with a standard
DC voltage to shape the waveform. The input signal from the sensor or the shaped pulse signal can
be observed at the BNC connector on the monitor front panel and buffer output terminal on the
relay panel (VM-5G Single Unit Instrument Rack, VM-5Y Relay Module Unit).
The level of the above standard voltage is different in the ON and OFF state to prevent
malfunctioning due to noise. It is referred to as the trigger level set voltage and the difference
between ON and OFF voltage, as hysteresis. If these voltages are set to a level so as to traverse the
waveform, a shaped pulse is produced as shown in Fig. 7-6-1 with which the rotation speed can be
measured. However, if they are set to the level shown in Fig. 7-6-2, this is interpreted as
there being no tachometer output because a shaped pulse is not produced. Also note that
measuring error will be caused if the hysteresis is smaller than the noise contained in the
input waveform as shown in Fig. 7-6-3. For these reasons, setting of the above levels is of great
importance.

• When the target shifts in the axial direction caused by differential expansion, add the
amount of target shift to the ”D” value to consider so that the target surface is not
Mandatory
dislocated from the sensor.
• A circular projection or circular hole if used as a target may easily cause a pitch error
or measurement error due to shaft eccentricity, displacement in the axial direction,
etc. which are not appropriate for rotor speed detection.
• Install the sensor so that it is located at the center of the target width direction.
• A gear with uneven tooth gap can cause the monitor to malfunction. Therefore,
make sure to use a gear with even tooth gap.

7-11 DETERMINATION OF HYSTERESIS

The hysteresis can be set by means of the jumper pins on the circuit board to 0.1V, 0.2V 0.5V or
1.0V. It is preset to 1.0V at the factory, but may have to be changed if any of the following
conditions apply.
• The input signal level from the sensor (minimum level over the full speed range) is
lower than 3Vpk-pk.
• The internal noise of the input signal from the sensor (maximum level over the full
speed range) is higher than 0.5Vpk-pk.
Setting Conditions
• If you have to set the hysteresis, make sure that the following conditions are met.
Mandatory Otherwise correct measurement is not possible.
Input Waveform
b: Max. Internal
Noise Value
a: Min. Value of
Input Signal
Condition (1) a-(hysteresis set value)>2V

Condition (2) (hysteresis set value)-b>0.5V
If these conditions cannot be met, the following measures must be taken.
To meet Condition (1) :
• Select a narrow set gap and a high input signal amplitude.

• Select a larger shaped speed detection target and a high input signal amplitude.
To meet Condition (2) :
• Take measures against noise to reduce the internal noise level.
• The higher the values in conditions (1) and (2), the higher the measuring stability.
We recommend that you make the values as high as possible.

• This section describes the main inspection and verification steps from completion
of the zero-speed monitoring system to start-up. For adjustment and operation of
machines, make sure to read the instruction manuals supplied with the machines.
11-1 VERIFICATIONS IN STOPPED CONDITION
(1) Verification of Interconnections

Verify that all interconnections have been carried out properly (refer to 4.
INTERCONNECTION on page 5). Make it a point to verify that connector insulations, cable
terminations, and terminal screws are properly installed.
If 4-wire shielded cable is used for signal transmission, ground wires not used at the monitor to
prevent mixing-in of noise.

(2) Verification of Set Gap

1) Verify the set gap at the highest point of the target. At the same time, measure the set gap
voltage at the output connection of the VM-5S monitor.
• Set gap voltage Must be -15V or more (closer to 0V end)

(at highest point of target)
If the set gap voltage is lower than -15V, the trigger level becomes inadequate (due to
frequency characteristics of the driver), which may be interpreted as zero tachometer output.
Make the step gap narrower in such a case.
2) Next measure the set gap voltage at the lowest point of the target.
• Set gap voltage Must be less than -21V (farther from 0V end)
(at lowest point of target)
• Turning the rotor by hand to verify the set gap voltage at the highest and
lowest point of the target may present certain difficulties. It is recommended,
however, to do it at this point as problems developing later many be more
difficult to deal with.
-80-
(3) Verification of set values

The trigger level set value, hysteresis set value, and speed relay set value are preset prior to
shipment. To change any of these values, refer to 7. PARAMETER SETTING on page 25.
(4) Dummy Input Verification

Apply a dummy signal from an oscillator to CH1 and CH2, and verify SPEED RELAY
operation.
11-2 VERIFICATION IN TURNING CONDITION

(1) Adjustment of Trigger Level and Hysteresis
Check the monitor output and pulse output in turning condition, and verify that the set values
are appropriate (refer to 7. PARAMETER SETTING on page 26).
Also carefully check the signal waveform for noise components (magnetic noise, runout, etc.).
If the noise level is such that it cannot be eliminated by adjusting the hysteresis, noise
countermeasures such as installing a surge killer will be required.
