Pressure sensor ground loop problem

Hello

I have an interesting problem, I hope someone can help me with.

I'm measuring pressure with a pressure sensor.  We see a lot of noise with the measure, and I believe that we have a ground loop.  I have checked the noise is 60 Hz.  What is interesting is that the case of the pressure sensor is connected to the Earth.  When we put on the sensor of metal pressure in the booth, we see the noise.  When disconnect us the stand noise pressure sensor disappears.  The stand is connected to the Earth.  I'm feeding the sensor with a 24V power supply which is also connected to the Earth.  I think that this is the ground loop.

My problem is that the 24V power supply should be grounded for safety and the I cannot isolate the ground pressure sensor.

I attached how I got the system wired.  How to connect up to my analog input module pressure sensor OR 9215 to break the ground loop?

Thank you

Dan

Ahhhh Yes,

I have solved this problem.  It is a ground loop.  I had the field related to 2 places.

We have removed one of the references on the ground and poof everything worked fine.

One of the problems I've found is a reference of external power supplies and others do not.  If you provide an additional reference to the Earth... Ground loop!

Ground loops can be mean terrible things.  According to my experience, they are the number one electric goofiness and the noise causes.

I have compiled some resources on my website to help people

The best is field wiring and considerations of noise for analog signals

  • Equium M50-244: loop problem internal ati2dvag.dll

    I had a M50-244 XP Home Edition (sp2) who have ATI onboard until I uninstalled it completely. The laptop has become totally useless vomit ati2dvag.dll inner loop problem and nothing seemed to heal so I decided to completely get rid of ATI.

    It started with VGASAVE which, with a few adjustments, work is fine and so my machine now. I disabled the video as controller he kept coming up with "new hardware found" and I didn't load the drivers more who would do what he started crashing again.

    Currently its on 'test' and I'm doing everything possible to see if it will crash once again, I hope not.

    Maybe I need another driver and activate the video controller, but I am hated for doing anything more now that his works normally, finally!

  • NEITHER USB-6008 connect to thermocuples and pressure sensors, control valve

    I am endevoring to build a gasification plant biomass for bench scale test process control plans. NEITHER USB-6008/6009 will be adapted for use as a data acquisition. I'll take RTDS, thermocouples and pressure sensors. I don't want to use industrial automation controllers.  It is also possible to use the channel of analog output for sending signals to a control valve position (using sufficient current/voltage between the two drivers).

    (1) OK.  I just wanted to be sure that you were aware of the potential dangers.

    (2) an RTD is a resistance that has small changes in resistance per degree of temperature change. To measure that you have need of a current source and a sufficient resolution in order to detect small changes.  At 25 degrees C a typical RTD is 109,73 ohms and resistance ohms 0.38 per degree changes.  If you had 1 my crossing this RTD voltage through it would be 109,7 mV and the voltage change of 0.38 mV by degree.

    The resolution of the 6008 on the most sensitive range is 0.49 mV > 1 degree.  The accuracy of the 6008 is 1.5 mV typical.

    For a Type K thermocouple, voltage at 25 degrees is 1.407 mV and change by degree is 39 µV.  Millivolt solving half of the 6008 translates into about 12 degrees.

    If you need a source of excitement for RTD and a kind of amplification for thermocouples and RTD before she would make any sense to try to use USB-6008.

    (3) I have not used anything except LabVIEW with DAQ devices and drivers.  I think DAQmx can be used with MATLAB and other languages.

    (4) the 6008 is the low range made by NOR. You will need to go to a more expensive camera or add signals conditioning circuits.  Talk to your representative OR assistance in the choice of a suitable device.

  • Barometric pressure sensor

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone has used a sensor of barometric pressure with myRIO Council. If Yes can you suggest any probe good accuracy?

    What of it? http://www.embeddedadventures.com/barometric_pressure_sensor_module_mod-1009.html

    It will work properly with myRIO?

    Thank you

    Christos

    Hey Christos,.

    Looking at the sensor as you linked, which should work perfectly with the myRIO. It uses the I2C/SPI protocols to transmit his readings to a controller, and the myRIO dedicated pins for I2C/SPI communication. Therefore, you should have no problem pulling measures the pressure of the probe.

    The myRIO has also 3, 3V output for external sensors power PIN, so you should be able to feed the sensor directly from the myRIO as well.

    I hope this helps!

  • for iteration of loop problem

    Hello!

    I built this vi to record the data of air speed sensors two and analog signals that drive the two actuators. My problem is: the number of iterations, I put on the second image, the same number of iterations will be held at the third picture. The example below, I put initially the loop run for 20 seconds and the second loop to run for 3 minutes. When I run the program both loops ryn for 20 seconds. Any tips?

    Concerning

    It's because of the release of the first loop table. A for the loop performs an iteration to the smallest size of County or an array of N. You simply need to right click on the output, and then select disable indexing. No need to create an array of file names.

    p.s. Get rid of the structure of the sequence. It is not necessary.

  • Out of reading 2-wire 4-20mA pressure sensors using the NI9203 module

    Hi all, I'm sure that a lot of people can give a response would we apply for this.

    While looking at the wiring diagram on some pressure transmitters (2 wire 4-20 mA output, direct wire), that I'm about to buy, I noticed a slight inconsistency with the wiring in the NI9203 manual. Here are links to manuals for sensors:

    Swagelok pressure transducers

    Following the manual of NI9203, the + ve terminal of power supply (24Vdc in my case) must be connected to the Brown Terminal in the transducer and - ve supply ground COM on the NI9203. This leaves the Green Terminal in the transducer must be connected to AI0... AI7 on the NI9203 module. This provision makes perfect sense to me. However, the user for the transducer manual suggests that the Terminal green must be wired to zero volts land i.e. COM. This configuration makes less sense to me.

    My question is, the internal electronics of the transducer released still the same my current for the same measured pressure given by the curves of calibration for sensor, even if the Green teminal is not connected to zero volts?

    I have a hunch it's okay, but I wanted to be sure before that I lost many years spent money / bad record pressure. This should be a matter for manufacturers of sensors I know, but I found this forum is * much * more useful!

    See you soon,.

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    The 9203 is a device for current descendant be plugged on one side common or 0 volt.  You must connect your pressure in 2 wire mode sensor.

    + 24 v DC to the positive terminal on your sensor pressure 1 terminal or brown flying lead, Terminal 2 green flying lead is connected to AIx on your 9203 and the commune of the 9203 connected to 0 Volts on your power supply.

    All 2-wire device used in a current input down is still as cable + volts then 2-wire device + then then 2-wire device - (or 0) then HAVE + then common then 0 volt.

    In my experience the 9203 can be rather prone to noise pick up devices with 2 sons and need a suitable clean power supply.  For 2-wire devices, I take 1024 readings and then averaged to reduce noise.

    See you soon

    Hello, I was hoping you guys could help out me with a big problem, I ran across when trying to install Windows 7 on a desktop computer new, custom - build. I managed to successfully install my Windows 7 64-bit, it appeared, but when I try to run it, that I will meet a black screen that says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" and it will stay there forever, I would say. I let it run all night and didn't go anywhere.

    I tried to start in safe mode, and Windows was loading files sys32, he got to "Classpnp.sys" and it froze. After a few minutes, the screen is blacked out, and I got fired the familiar screen "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.

    I bought the copy of Windows 7 nine FRY, there will be no problem with that. My HD is a (new) 240 GB PNY Optima SSD, my mobo is a (new) Z97X-SLI Gigabyte, and I have 16 GB of RAM. All these things have been recognized by my BIOS, it seems that everything is properly connected.

    I tried to install Windows 7 on a second time and exactly the same thing happened. I also tried to repair the installation to start upward, but he finds no problems. Also a check of the memory and the disk has verified without any problem. The only things I plugged are my monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

  • Calibration of pressure sensor

    I have two pressure omegadyne transducers. I tried to calibrate the transducers via linear equations. The problem is that when I put the second slope of line transducer and the y-intercept, the first (slope of the line and intercept) changes automatically to the second parameter. Transducers are mounted on two different channels. I can't have two different equations for the two transducers. I appreciate it if anyone has a solution to this.

    Concerning

    Ali,

    When you're in the DAQ Assistant, on the configuration tab, in the input parameters of voltage is a Custom Scaling pull down.  If you who pull down, you can select Create new and which will allow you to install a custom scale for each transducer if you wish.  Just assign the custom scale for the appropriate channel once you have created the custom scale.

    If you use the same transducers of beach and they have different slopes... I refer to them and buy some finding themselves in a few percentage points of each other on the range.  No one should sell you two producers of trans who have the same range that do not use the same slope... the y originally I see who need some tweaking, but not the slope!  .. just in my opinion.  I sent a lot of return of material that does not perform or has not been linear in its response.  ... again, just my opinion.

    Enjoy!

  • multiple inputs and nested loop problem

    Hello world

    I'm using Labview 2009.

    I want to change the value of a variable by using the wheel or keyboard.

    So I downloaded a button and the screws of the keyboard that suits my needs of multi-rotation forum.

    These two screws are running inside a WHILE loop. Because I would be constantly updating the variable I will run my main screw that houses these two screws also looped a WHILE.

    Problem is that while loop within a while loop I couldn't run my main VI because of this problem.

    I tried in 2ways

    1 including them as an auxiliary in my main VI but as the two screws screw contains a few other variables inside of the inside while loop that LabVIEW displays error as auxiliary screws will not work

    2. I also tried to copy paste the two screws as it is in my main screw but could end up only in a lot of errors.

    How to deal with this problem of nested while loops?

    Please guide me.

    Kind regards

    Maury

    You make a mistake of data flow. The outer loop can turn only if all of the code that he has completed. The structure of the event cannot complete because inside while loop has not finished, and if inside so that the loop ends, the loop cannot turn because the structure of the event stalls. You can only go to the next iteration after all both have completed, from the mess.

    All you need to do to incorporate ALL the code inside the structure of the event. Attached, it's a simple project (LV 9.0), modify as necessary.

    See if it makes sense for you. (there are a few minor bugs probably)

  • Case of Structure / while loop problems

    Hello

    I am trying to write a code that draws a random number whenever a key is pressed.  The chart must be a random number on the y axis and the number of times that the button is pressed on the x-axis.  I want to draw the last twenty random numbers.  I use a while loop and a box structure.  If the button is pressed, the case structure incruments the number of times where the button is pressed and generates a random number.  I'm using shift registers to track the last twenty numbers generated.  When the key not, registers to shift to day values incorrectly.  My code is associated with this issue.

    I know that the last value of the shift registers of wiring to the structure of the case will change the table across the last value when the button is not pressed.  I know what causes the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.  I would appreciate it if you have a look and give me some tips.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your problem is that the loop runs continuously and your values in the shift register are replaced when you do nothing.

    There are a few ways around this.  It would be simpler to use a Structure of the event.  Another option is to simply store your table in the shiftregister.  Use Rotate 1-d Array and replace a subset of table to update your chart.  It is a little more robust and easier to use than using the history of the shift register.

    But the absolute simplest, based only on what you told us, just use a graphic instead of a graph.  A graph keeps a history.  The length of the default history is 1024 samples, then you want to reduce that to 20.  Then you just wire your random number right in the chart, and everything is done for you.
