In order to help you obtaining the best from its operational possibilities, we advise to read this manual carefully beforehand. Moreover, a strict adherence to the safety precautions is the guarantee for reliable measurement results over a long period of use. 2 Safety precautions – Use only the power supply and the charger supplied with the BPX box or TWIN Station. – Do not attempt to dismantle the box, except for those parts listed in this manual. Otherwise you may damage the unit or cause a failure. – Do not expose the probes to excessive force or to shocks. These sensitive instruments must be handled with care (refer to the probe’s instruction manual). – Do not drop or expose your interface box to shocks. Although robust, the built-in measuring system may be damaged, thus leading to incorrect measured values. 3 Overall description Both BPX box and TWIN Station are key components of our product line dedicated to multigauging measurement. Each unit permits inductive probes made by TESA to be connected to any system featuring a USB interface and used for data processing. Their modern design, which is based on the latest technologies, allows for a flexible, fast and independent run of the measuring functions. Their robust construction provides the security as required in the most demanding surroundings and production areas. The choice of the system for data processing is left to the user. Once connected to a host computer fitted with a USB port, each unit will be capable to run the following: – TIS software provided with the BPX box / TWIN Station and used for setting, defining the measurement functions and measuring. – Restricted interface for all settings and commands. – Command library allowing for a direct dialogue. The software is designed to meet the various needs in multigauging measurement, while offering optimum flexibility in terms of inspection means. Each measuring function can easily be defined. All trained users will appreciate the possibility to partly merge the TIS software, even to directly communicate with each box running their own software. These interface boxes of the latest generation stay ahead due to their key features, i.e.: – Robust – Resistant aluminium housing, also flexible for assembly by means of the convenient accessory. – Reliable – Use of start-of-the-art components combined with a Swiss manufacturing for high quality standard. – Modular – Full compatibility with various technologies, thus offering a solution that meets the user’s needs. – Universal – Unlimited use of each interface box. 4 measuring (examples) Typical multigauging measurements The synchronization of up to 64 probes linked together using a number of stackable BPX interface boxes allows synchronized static or dynamic measurement. Input/Ouput signals can be used for measurement command and result classification. 2.0 SSIWS EDAM DNEP TAP 91003.23 SWISS MADE 32.30019 PAT PEND 2.0 Dynamic measurement through a wireless connection When the probe cable is restricting the movement of the operator, or generates a measurement error due to its displacement, precision and freedom are significant advantages of a wireless connection. Each TWIN Station is able to connect up to 8 wireless probes. When used simultaneously with probes from additional BPX boxes or TWIN Station, these probes are synchronized. Measurement in stand-alone mode The BPX box is capable to operate independently in extreme surrounding conditions, or if the measurement results in a simple value classification. SSIWS EDAM DNEP TAP Once properly configured, the BPX box can be disconnected from the PC and used alone through the signal inputs/outputs only.

Running it will also enable you to conveniently define the measuring functions, capture the measured value and export the results. In addition, the BPX box lets the operator configure the stand-alone mode (no PC) and monitor the signal inputs and outputs. The port used for data transmission is a virtual COM port. Minimum profile requirements for used PC: – Windows XP sp3 – .NET Framework 3.5 – Hard disk, 1GB – Image resolution to 900 x 600 pixels For further information about the TIS software, please refer to the instruction manual available on the CD-ROM delivered. 6.2 User’s interface The User’s interface makes it possible for the main tabs provided with the TIS Software to be downloaded in another programme. Running TIS partly allows for easy control of the settings made for both BPX and TWIN Station, including the assignment of the measuring channels and functions, without the need for the measurement to be taken. This software tool is intended for systems used for data processing or data acquisition, which do not provide the core structure needed to handle complex measuring functions. Additional information is available upon request. 6.3 Command library The command library enables a direct communication with the BPX or TWIN Station. This solution is convenient for those programmers/ integrators who want to use a proprietary interface. Additional information is available upon request. 7 BPX Station BPX is a universal electronic interface used for connecting half-bridge probes made by TESA. This box incorporates a multiplexer permitting a series connection of several boxes as well as a monitoring of input and output signals. 7.1 Technical Data Measuring range, commutable (common to two channels) (Indication error range of the digital output (at 20±1°C and ≤ 50% HR ±2000 µm/±200 µm ±5000 µm/±500 µm (long travel probes) ≤ ± (0.05 µm + 0.15%) of the measure range Zero point drift (at 20±1°C and ≤ 50% HR) ≤ ± 0.05 % / °C Sensibility drift (at 20±1°C and ≤ 50% HR) ≤ ± 0.05 % / °C Acquisition time – between 2 subsequent measurements – for the synchronisation ≤10 ms ≤1 ms Data transfer duration – from the serial digital output (USB) PC ports – USB hub Input voltage of the power supply Depends on the operating system of the PC USB 2.0 3 external ports (≤100 mA) 115 to 230 Vrms – 50-60 Hz, -10% to 15% Output voltage of the power supply 7 V typ. at nominal load Rated operating temperature 20°C ±1°C Operating temperature range 10 to 40°C Storage temperature range -10 to 60°C Overall dimensions 55 x 172 x 155 mm (H x L x P) BPX box weight 1 kg Degree of protection Probe voltage and drive frequency IP40 according to IEC/CEI 529, DIN 40050 Robust aluminium housing To IEC/EN 61326-1, US to CFR 47, part 15, subpart B, Class B digital device Using the mounting brackets (accessory) and the screws of the front / rear panel 2.8 Vrms typ. – 13 kHz ±0,5% Signal output for value classification 3 relay digital outputs (max. 50 V, 500 mA) Electromagnetic compatibility Assembly 7.2 Elements at the front panel 1 Signal input connector for standard TESA half-bridge probes (A, B, C and D) Front panel of the BPX box 7.3 Elements at the rear panel 1 Mains connector for the power supply (required to operate the box). 2 USB type B connector, (to the PC or to other BPX box). 3 USB type A connector, (for additional BPX boxes or TWIN Station). 4 IN/OUT connector. 5 LEDs (box ID number or error message).

There are two operating modes: 1 Standard mode 2 Stand-alone mode 7.5.1 Standard mode This mode requires a PC with the TIS software installed. The software manages the BPX and TWIN Station connected. To connect the BPX, proceed as described hereunder. Connect the power supply first, then the USB cable Procedure Description Connect the power supply LEDs 1, 2 , 4 and 8 blink. Connect the USB cable The PC detects the USB-Hub on the BPX. If the BPX has never been connected to the PC previously, this BPX box will be identified as a new peripheral device, thus requiring for the installation of the driver TESA BPX/BPW. Once this driver is installed and the BPX detected, the LED’s stop blinking and indicate the ID box number. Note If the power supply is removed One or several LEDs will blink. In this case, the BPX box is able to communicate, but unable to measure. 10 Connect the USB cable first, then the power supply Procedure Description Connect USB cable All LEDs blink. The PC detects the USB-Hub on the BPX. Connect power supply If the BPX has never been connected to the PC previously, this BPX box will be identified as a new peripheral device, thus requiring the installation of the driver TESA BPX/BPW. The LEDs 1, 2, 4 and 8 then display ID box number. Note - If the power supply is removed One or several LEDs blink. In this case, the BPX box is able to communicate, but unable to measure. 7.5.2 Stand-alone mode This mode is intended to operate the BPX Box independently from the PC. All setting operations - i.e. setting the master value, collecting the measured value and displaying the result classification - are done through the pins on the 15-pin D-Sub connector. Since a series connection is not allowed in this mode, only one BPX box can be used. The highest number of probes accepted for the measurement is 4. Once the parameters defined and the standalone mode activated in this TIS software, the BPX box can be disconnectd from the PC and work in stand-alone mode. The input/output signals ensure its control. The BPX then requires only the connection of the power supply (no USB-cable). If the set to master procedure has not been done, LEDs 1, 2 blink and LED 8 is on. In this case follow the set to master procedure before proceeding with any actual measurement. Signal input/output functions Pin Signal Note OUT1 Yellow for rework OUT3 Red for scrap 13 14 OUT2 IN1 Green for good Start – Setting (long pressure) +U Output, ≈7 V, up to 50 mA 11 A longer impulse of the input signal triggers the set to master.

Maintain the IN impulse during 5 s to set to master (zeroing). 2. Release the IN impulse when all LEDs become ON with LED 8 flashing. 3. After release of the IN impulse, all LEDs remain ON for 5 s before switching OFF: the set to master has been done properly. BPX is now in continuous measurement mode: the OUT signals are activated according to the predefined tolerances and classification of the measured values. BPX remains in this measurement mode as long as there is no other impulse IN. To deactivate the continuous measurement mode, a short IN impulse will trigger a (static or dynamic – depending on the BPX stand-alone configuration) measurement.

The first impulse disables the continuous measurement mode, triggers a measurement and activates the outputs according to the classification of measured value. The second impulse triggers another measurement and activates the outputs according to the classification of measured value. The first impulse disables the continuous measurement mode, triggers a dynamic measurement, which stops at the second impulse. The second impulse stops the dynamic measurement and activates the outputs according to the classification of measured values. The third impulse triggers another dynamic measurement which only stops at the next impulse. And so on. Proceeding in the reverse order causes the BPX box to remain undetected by the PC. Connect the USB cable first, then the power supply – correct procedure Procedure Description Connect the USB cable All LEDs are OFF. Neither the USB-Hub nor the BPX box can be detected by the PC. Connect the power supply The LED 8 is ON. Another LED may additionally lit up, depending on the status of the BPX box. Both the USB-Hub and BPX box are detected. 12 8 TWIN STATION 8.1 Technical data Power supply USB cable USB port 2.0 Acquisition time – between two subsequent measurements – for the synchronisation Rated operating temperature ≤20 ms ≤2 ms 20°C ±1°C Operating temperature range 10 to 40°C Storage temperature range -10 to 60°C Overall dimensions 55 x 172 x 155 mm (H x L x D) Twin Station Weight Degree of protection 0,8 kg IP40 according to IEC/CEI 529, DIN 40 050 Robust housing in aluminium EU to IEC/EN 61326-1, US to CFR 47, part 15, subpart B, Class B digital device According to ETSI EN 300 440 – 2 (CH and UE) FCC 15.249 (US and Canada) 2,402 up to 2,480 GHz (40 channels) 0 dBm -80 dBm (0,1% BER) By means of the screw used to lock each front face (available as optional accessory) Electromagnetic compatibility RF communication – Frequency band – Typical transmitter output power – Typical sensitivity Assembly 8.2 Elements at the front panel Front panel of the TWIN Station 13 8.3 Elements at the rear panel 1 USB connector, type B (to the PC, USB multiplexer or BPX box). 2 LEDs (box ID number or error message). 3 SMA antenna connector, band 2.4 GHz.
