DESCRIPTION:
This PC104 compliant stackthrough module offers four (4) separate transformer isolated
“PROGRAMMABLE” LVDT/RVDT-to-Digital tracking converters
with extensive diagnostics, digital
velocity, and (A+B) outputs. Instead of buying cards that are set for specific inputs, the uniqueness of this
design makes it possible to order our generic card that is Autoranging between 2.0 and 28 volts for 4-wire LVTD
input. For 2-wire inputs, the card can be programmed and reprogrammed in the field for any excitation and signal
voltage between 2.0 and 28 volts. This card uses a derived reference ratiometric design approach that is insensitive
to magnitude, temperature, frequency and phase shift effects. The conversion technique assures that the output
will change only when the LVDT position changes and will ignore excitation voltage variations. The “Latch” feature
permits the user to read all channels at the same time. Reading will unlatch that channel. The converters utilize a
Type II servo loop processing technique that enables tracking, at full accuracy, up to the specified rate.
Intermediate transparent latches, on all data and velocity outputs, guarantee that current valid data is always
available for any channel without effecting the tracking performance of the converters. The optional on−board
excitation supply can be factory set for a particular voltage and frequency, or can be supplied as field
programmable. To simplify logistics, Part number, S/N, Date code, & Rev. are stored in permanent memory
locations.
Major diagnostic are incorporated that offer substantial improvements to system reliability because user is
immediately alerted to channel malfunctions. Self-Test (POST) diagnostic can immediately initiate (D3) test. See
Programming Instructions for further details. Three different tests (one on-line and two off-line) can be
selected:
The (D2) test initiates automatic background bit testing. Each channel is checked over the Signal range to a
measuring accuracy 0.1% FS, and each Signal and Excitation is monitored. Results are available in registers The
testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming, has no effect on the standard
operation of this card and can be enabled or disabled via the bus.
The (D3) or POST test, if enabled, starts an initiated bit test that disconnects all channels from the outside world
and connects them across an internal stimulus that generates and measures multiple voltages to a test accuracy
of 0.1%FS. Results can be read from Status registers. External excitation is not required. The testing is totally
transparent to the user, requires no external programming, and can be enabled or disabled via the bus. Power-On
(POST) test can be enabled or disabled via the bus.
The (D0) test is used to check the card and the interface. All channels are disconnected from the outside world
allowing user to write any number of input voltages to the card and then read the data from the interface. External
excitation is not required.

Power ON or system reset, unless POST (Page 3, 1Eh is set to (“1”) and saved, disables D3 test, all
channels unlatched, excitation supply frequency to 400 Hz and output voltage to zero. Program required frequency
before increasing output voltage.
Enter all active channels at Page 3, 1Ah “1” =active; “0” =not used. Omitting this step will produce false
alarms because unused channels will set faults. To save when all channels are programmed, write 5555h at Page
1, 1Ah. Board will clear to hex 00 when save is completed. These settings will repeat until changed. Saving is
optional. If not saved, reenter at each power on. To restore factory shipped parameters, write AAAAh at Page 1,
1Ah, wait until board writes 00, then do a system reset.
Data Format: Two's complement. Sign: (D15) 0=In Phase; 1= Out of Phase. Offset Binary (two’s complement
with MSB inverted) can be specified. (see part number) The output represents A-B/A+B. Max. positive excursion is
7FFF, 0=0, and max. negative excursion is 8000.
Programming Signal and Reference : The LVDT primary, as usual, is energized by either the excitation
output from this card or from an external excitation.
The signal voltage to be programmed represents the max. output voltage of the LVDT. The 4-wire LVDT has
two output voltages referred to as A and B. When connected to the A and B Signal inputs no scaling is required
because the inputs are Autoranging. For 2-wire LVDT’s scaling is required as follows:
Set Excitation and Signal voltages by writing a 16 bit binary word to the appropriate address.
Ex: 27.11 V Signal to Ch.2 =
0000101010010111 to Page 2, 02h/03h
26.00 V Excitation to Ch.2 = 0000101000101000 to Page 3, 02h/03h.
(A+B) output: Read binary number and multiply by 0.01 Volt.
Velocity: 16 bit resolution, (15 bit+sign, 2’s compliment); Linearity: 0.1%.
If velocity scale factor is set to max. (FFFFh), then 1 bit of velocity output = 0.4% FS/sec. Ex: If full stroke is ±3” (6”
total) and you read a velocity output of 630h, then the velocity is 630 x 0.004 x 6 = 15.12 inches/sec
Status, Test: “1” Accuracy OK; “0” failed. Status: “1” Exc. & Signal are On; “0” Exc. and/or Signal loss.
Test Enable (D2): Writing “1” to D2 at Page 2, 1Eh, initiates automatic background bit testing Each channel is
checked over the programmed Signal range to a measuring accuracy 0.1%FS, and each Signal and Excitation is
monitored. The results are available in status registers. A “0” deactivates this test. The testing is totally
transparent to the user, requires no external programming, has no effect on the standard operation of this card and
can be enabled or disabled via the bus. Card will write hex 55 at Page 3, 18h when (D2) is enabled. User can
periodically clear to hex 00 and then read Page 3, 18h again to verify that background bit testing is activated.
Test Enable (D3): Power-on (POST) if enabled, or writing “1” to D3 at Page 2, 1Eh, starts an initiated bit test
that disconnects all channels from the outside world and connects them across an internal stimulus that
generates multiple test voltages that are measured to a test accuracy and of 0.1%FS. Test cycle takes about 10
seconds and results can be read from registers when D3 changes from “1” to “0”. External excitation is not
required. Testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming, and can be enabled or
disabled (by setting D3 to “0”) via the bus.

Test Enable (D0): Checks the card and the interface. Writing “1” to D0 at Page 2, 1Eh, disconnects all
channels from the outside world, allowing user to write any number of input voltages to the card at Page 1,
18h/19h, and then read the data from the interface (allow 50 ms after writing). External excitation is not required.
