As a Specialized ODS Technician, I am preparing to utilize the CSI-2140 and Triax for an upcoming ODS project. While most aspects are straightforward, I am seeking guidance on connecting the "D" Reference Transducer. The Triax easily connects to one of the Turck connectors, but given the need for a longer cable for the "D" reference transducer, I am considering using a BNC cable with the 2140. Could the "C - D" Splitter be the solution, connected to the other Turck connector? I have reached out to CSI Support for clarification on this matter, and await their response. Your feedback on this procedure would be greatly valued. Thank you in advance - Mike.
I didn't do it alone, but I did connect it using the "C - D" Splitter and other Turck equipment. - Konstantin
I'm facing some confusion with my triaxial setup - channels A, B, and C are connected, along with an accelerometer through a two-channel splitter on channel D. However, when I attempt to take a measurement, I receive an error indicating that one of the transducers is not connected. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Update: Problem solved! Make sure to use the correct two-channel splitter, such as the gray and black one, for that specific port. Using the wrong splitter will not work properly.
Hi Mike, connecting the 'D' Reference Transducer can be a bit tricky. I completely agree with your initial approach of using a BNC cable with the 2140 if you need the extra length. The "C - D" Splitter could indeed be the solution, as it might allow a correct connection to the other Turck connector. I think your strategy is sound and it's also what I would advise. However, it’s a good thing you contacted CSI Support to certify compatibility. Let us know what they say. Best of luck with your project!
Hi Mike, I have encountered a similar situation before. From my experience, your approach seems reasonable. Yes, using the "C-D" splitter could definitely be a solution for you here. Connecting it to the second Turck connector should theoretically allow for a longer cable run for your "D" reference transducer. But please remember to adjust your settings in the 2140 to recognize the D channel transducer properly. Also, do let us know what CSI Support suggests as well, it's always good to have their expert opinion. Good luck with your project!
Hey Mike! It sounds like you're on the right track with your setup. Using a BNC cable for the “D” reference transducer is a smart workaround for length, but make sure your cable is within the recommended specifications for signal integrity. The "C - D" splitter could indeed help with connecting to the other Turck connector. Just double-check that it’s compatible with both the CSI-2140 and the Triax to avoid any impedance issues. It’s great that you’ve reached out to CSI Support, as they should be able to provide valuable insights too. Good luck with your project!
Hey Mike, it sounds like you're on the right track with your setup! Using a BNC cable for the "D" reference transducer is a common approach when you need extra length, but just be aware of the potential for signal loss over longer runs. The "C - D" Splitter could definitely help if you're trying to make the connection more manageable, but make sure to check the specifications to ensure it’s compatible with the Triax and won’t introduce noise. It's great that you reached out to CSI support—they're usually pretty helpful. Best of luck with your project, and I’d love to hear how it goes!
