SPEAK 2400
Fully self-contained setup
The IMBU measurement suitcase includes 2 x Transmitters (100% redundant) and 2 x IO Modules (fully synchronized). The set-up is self-contained and built-in to a Pelican suitcase. It can be used for (temporary as an option) field-measurements to investigate machine performance and dynamics. It is typically used on reciprocating machines as it allows measurements referenced to crank-angle.
Technical specifications
| Size | Pelican 1500 Protector Case |
| Certification | Not certified for permanent use in a hazardous area. For use in a hazardous area most probably a hot work permit is required |
| Connectors | 24 * Amphenol Ecomate C016 series |
| Controller | 2 * SBC with NXP microcontroller (100% redundant) |
| Modem | 2 * 3G or 4G modem (100% redundant) |
| GPS | YES |
| WiFi | YES, used for configuration on-site |
| RS485 | YES, 2 * 2 ports (100% redundant) |
| RS232 | YES, 2 * 1 port (100% redundant) |
| Ethernet | YES, 2 * 1 port (100% redundant) |
| LoRa 868 / 915 | Optional |
| Local storage | YES, 2 * 4GB SD card (100% redundant) |
| Power | 110VAC or 220VAC |
| Ambient temperature | -40°C – +85°C |
| Protection power-outage | YES, upon power-outage, 2 (two) supercapacitors enable a controlled shutdown to avoid corruption of e.g. SD card |
| Standard implemented protocols | Modbus RTU (RS232 or RS485) Slave or MasterModbus TCP (Ethernet) Client or Server |
| Pressure inputs | 8 * 4-20mA (2-wire, loop-powered by IO module) |
| Accelerometer inputs | 12 * ICP/IEPE Accelerometers |
| Proximity probe inputs | 4 * -20 – 0V (Bently Nevada compatible) |
| Pick-up / encoder inputs | 2 * highly flexible inputs suitable to accept both e.g. passive magnetic pickups but also active proximity probes |
| Sampling frequency | Typically 64kHz, higher frequencies possible |
| Others | Galvanically isolated IO |
| Possible applications | Investigation of e.g. detonation or misfire on gas-engines Diesel-injector performance/condition analyses on diesel-engines Performance analytics on reciprocating pumps and gas-compressors Combustion analysis on slow-speed integrals |
| Interface | All data will be uploaded to the IMBU web-portal for further analysis. After leaving suitcase on-site, machine performance can remotely be tracked through web-portal |
