DSP UNIT DELIVERS REAL-TIME TURBINE BLADE TIP CONDITION MONITORING

摘要

MonitranrnTechnology, the R&D arm of vibration and displacement sensorrnOEM Monitran, has developed a digital signal processing (DSP) unit for the real-time monitoring of turbine blade conditions.rnThe unit reflects 'live' blade health by providing traffic-light-type indicators: green for safe, amber for advisory and red for danger. Also, for each condition, there is a programmable output capable of switching up to 30V at 5A, which means the unit can be easily integrated into control circuitry and to provide an automatic shut-down of the turbine if necessary.
