Introduction 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 3 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL TE Connectivitys 85X1N Series Wireless Vibration Sensors encompass model families 8511N and 8531N. These sensors combine a 1-axis (8511N) or 3-axis (8531N) accelerometer respectively, a data collector, and a radio into one compact unit. The sensors are battery-operated device that measures both vibration and temperature data. The models were designed for hash environment and use BLE communication protocols as the main mean of communication. 85X1N Series incorporate a piezo-electric accelerometer which offers a wide bandwidth to
>15kHz, outstanding measurement resolution and superior long-term stability compared to design using MEMS solutions. All models contains digital signal processing capability that provides an FFT analysis of the sensed vibration. The output data describes signal power and peak to peak information. Because of this feature, 8511N and 8531N models directly provide data most needed to plot trends and monitor changes in the performance and condition of factory machinery. 2. General Description The 85X1N Series Wireless Vibration sensors have two BLE modes:
Advertisement Mode: provides data continuously Connected Mode: advanced mode for configuration and special mode. Each advertisement allows the opportunity to user to switch to Connected mode. Its the only way to go into connected mode. 3.1 Advertisement Mode The products have several advertisement frequencies varying upon time, configuration and hardware event:
3.1.1 At power on When the device is powered on, a yellow LED blinks to confirm the proper battery insertion. From the sensor startup and for 1 hours, the device advertise every 1 sec. This allows user to configure the product by switching to connected mode. A measurement is performed at measurement interval. 3.1.2 1 hours after power on After every measurement, the device will advertise at 1s interval for 15 seconds. This will give 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 4 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL multiple chances to the gateway to connect to the device. After 15 seconds, the device will advertise at 10s interval till the next measurement. During, this phase, the connection could be more difficult. This 10 seconds advertisement can be deactivated by user (see Advertising configuration: Measure Trig) Between two measurements, the data into the advertisement frames is the same. The payload is only updated after every measurement interval. After a measurement, if a threshold is reached, the system will advertise every 10s after the 15s period. Advertisement will stop when user clear the event. 3.1.3 Special event If the advertisement interval is too long, it could be very difficult to switch to connected mode. So we offer the opportunity to advertise more often when the magnet is used. The magnet event will trig a measurement and the device will advertise every second during 1hour. 3.2 Connected Mode User can connect to the product. It all to configure, get access to special function and update firmware Product comes with 3 different BLE connected modes which are listed below:
Operating mode Description Standard User mode to configure the sensor and activate some specific function only available when connected Condition None 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 5 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL DFU Factory Mode used during FW update. Mode used by manufacturing. It allows sensor calibration and offer dedicated test-mode functionalities for RF testing, calibration, and current consumption measurements. OTA update Factory entry 3.3 MODES OF OPERATION The device operation can be summarized by the following state machine diagram. 3.4 DATA COLLECTION 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 6 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL Sensor measurements are performed and transmitted at a configurable interval from 1 min up to 24 hours. This is driven by the Measurement interval parameter. Upon wake-up, the device powers the sensing element and waits for about 3 seconds to let the accelerometer boot and stabilize its output. A measurement consists of reading the battery level, temperature, and a set of 4096 acceleration values at a configurable rate. Data Battery level Temperature Acceleration Unit
C mg Accessibility BLE BLE BLE 3.5 DATA PROCESSING The data processing signal chain transforms the acceleration raw data into frequency peaks. 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 7 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL Acceleration data is collected at a chosen sampling frequency. Raw data passes through an anti-aliasing filter. Once a set of acceleration readings is measured (4096 points), the embedded algorithm removes the DC signal (to remove the bias voltage of the sensing element) and multiplies the results by the sensor element calibration sensitivity (mV/g). The algorithm then applies a Hann window to the signal and converts it into a normalized FFT spectrum. Finally, a peak search algorithm extracts the most significant peaks from the spectrum. Certain data is saved for each of the peaks:
Parameter Peak Frequency Peak RMS magnitude Ratio Description Frequency of the peak (Hz) Single frequency peak PMS magnitude (g) Ratio of energy. Maximum peak magnitude plus associated bins divided by total spectrum energy. Note that only Peak values are accessible by the user. Raw data and raw FFT spectrum are stored for internal computation and are not available outside the sensor. From this point, several customer defined options are available to further process the data into useful output information. The customer can establish and configure up to eight windows across the FFT spectrum. For each window, the user can configure the following parameters:
Parameter Peak number Number of bins Description Number of peaks to be found (0 to 24) Number of bins around the main beam to be integrated into the ratio output. This parameter can be used to filter side lobes and avoid multiple peaks found around the same frequency Minimum frequency Maximum frequency Minimum frequency of the search window Maximum frequency of the search window These define the bandwidth of each window 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 8 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL By default, no windows have been established or configured. The peak search covers the full spectrum. Typical FFT spectrum showing the highest eight peaks. It is possible to program up to 8 custom windows to define several regions of interest. Any peak ouside the windows will be ignored. Typical FFT spectrum showing eight peaks and 3 windows 3.6 BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 9 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL The device includes a Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy compliant interface. This is a low power communication technology which should be used at short distances. It makes the 85X1N a connectable beacon which acts as a peripheral by default and switches to a server role (pairing mode) once a remote device (central) is connected. The upload interval can be configured by the customer for any time between one minute and 24 hours (in one-minute steps). Data upload consists of this information:
Battery status Sensor internal temperature All FFT data as configured by the user Raw sensor data (time domain accelerometer signal) is not available for upload All customer configurable parameters can be adjusted via LoRaWAN using a data download:
Reading/upload interval Number of peaks Number of bins around the peaks Number of windows Window minimum frequency Window maximum frequency 4 DFU Mode DFU mode should be used to upgrade the sensor firmware. It is accessible from the standard mode. The new firmware to be loaded must be signed by TE. 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 10 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL The DFU works with a single bank only. This means that if the firmware update is interrupted
(power cut off or BLE disconnection), the application firmware will be corrupted, and the sensor will stay in DFU mode. The user will have to re-try the upgrading process. Note that the DFU MAC address is the sensor MAC address +1. 5 Magnetic Switch The 85X1N has an internal reed switch. This switch is activated when a strong magnet is close to the magnetic sensor location. The magnetic switch location is indicated by the magnet icon on the plastic housing. The magnet must be of sufficient strength and proximity to create a magnetic field of 25 mT at the switch location. Two different functions are available depending on the user action:
User action Function Short tap Activates BLE for another one hour plus trigs a new measurement. Hold magnet for 10+
seconds Resets the sensor. LED One short blink. If user holds the magnet close to the switch for a longer duration, the LED will blink faster. Remove the magnet to only initiate a transmission. Else it going to initiate a sensor reset. Wait for at least 10 seconds, to see the very fast blink. Release the magnet once a very long orange led appears 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 11 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL LED indicator 20023687-27 Rev. 0.1, 2022-11-02 12 85X1N WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER USER MANUAL 6 LED Indicator The orange LED indicates the state of the 85X1N.
