Revision 1.0 – Feb 8, 2021

SECTION 1: Introduction and General Information

1-1 Equipment Description

1-1.1 Purpose

The PBS-4100R+ Test Cell Vibration and Balancing System, illustrated in Figure 1-1, is used to

perform trim balance and vibration diagnostics on all types of gas turbine engines and other

rotating machinery. It has been designed as a rugged, rack-mountable instrument for use in

test cell control rooms and can be easily integrated with test cell host computers for seamless

control of the collection and retrieval of engine vibration and speed data.

A key reason for using the PBS-4100R+

system is to reduce the amount of time required to

perform vibration analysis and trim balancing of gas turbine engines. This, in turn improves

engine quality, saves engine running time, fuel, reduces test time, and improves overall engine

availability rates.

The PBS-4100R+ saves time by incorporating features such as automatic data collection, stored

engine parameters, and balancing from vibration survey files. The PBS

Balancing Wizard

guides users through the balancing process. Balancing data can be acquired at individual speed

points, or from a previously collected vibration survey. Correction weight calculations can be

quickly calculated by using stored influence coefficients for "one-shot" balancing. This

technique automatically calculates specific balance solutions, complete with manufacturer’s part

numbers for balance weights and specific instructions about balance weight mounting locations.

PBS-4100R+ MTI Instruments 7001-0197

1-2

Revision 1.0 – Feb 8, 2021

Another advantage of the PBS-4100R+ is that it gives the user a set of “tools” to perform

vibration diagnostics. These tools can be used to determine whether trim balancing is

appropriate and to identify potential engine mechanical problems.

The printing and data reporting features of the PBS-4100R+ can also be used to improve record

keeping and tracking of the health of an engine.

1-1.2 Basic Functional Description.

The PBS-4100R+ is a complete engine vibration analysis and balancing system designed to be

used in conjunction with a test cell host computer. Special features have been incorporated

into the PBS-4100R+ to allow a test cell host computer to be able to:

Continuously collect vibration data of engines being run in the test cell. All vibration

and speed data from all channels are continuously acquired and made available to the

host computer.

Perform vibration surveys of engine accelerations and decelerations. During each

run, vibration data from all channels is acquired and made available to the host

computer.

Monitor overall and synchronous components. During all engine runs, users can

easily monitor total vibration levels, and important vibration components to aid in

diagnosing vibration-related problems.

Acquire vibration signal spectrum data. Using these data, users can pinpoint the

sources of vibrations within the engine for a fast and accurate diagnosis.

Trim balance engines. The PBS-4100R+

Balancing Wizard

guides users through

the process of balancing engines using trial weight or stored influence coefficient

methods.

Trim Balance using vibration surveys. The PBS-4100R+ Balancing Wizard features

the ability to balance engines using saved vibration survey files. This new feature saves

time and engine runs and applies to both the trial weight and influence coefficient

methods.

Digital Data Interface. The Digital Data Interface (DDI) option is ideal for integrating

the operation of the PBS-4100R+ with your test cell host computer. High speed

Ethernet commands from your host computer can control the operation of the PBS-

4100R+ system, and send vibration data back to the host for display.

Output DC signals. Using optional hardware, the PBS-4100R+ can be programmed to

output DC signals that are proportional to acquired and derived vibration signals. These

DC signals can be used to drive other test cell instrumentation.

To start testing an engine, the operator must first select the specific engine type from a list

of pre-loaded engine parameters. The operator's selection directs the PBS-4100R+

system to

take engine specific data from the "parameters file" to control how the PBS-4100R+

acquires

PBS-4100R+ MTI Instruments 7001-0197

1-3

Revision 1.0 – Feb 8, 2021

engine data and displays it for the user. The parameter files and the PBS-4100R+ software are

stored on the hard disk of the PBS-4100R+ system.

After the engine has been selected, and the monitoring software has started, the PBS-4100R+

continually collects speed and vibration data from the engine under test. This data can be

displayed in graphical or tabular form. When vibration levels demand balancing, the PBS-

4100R+

Balancing Wizard

guides the collection of engine data, and calculates a balance

solution. Balancing solutions are graphically displayed to show the specific balance plane holes

in which weights should be installed to reduce engine vibrations. Balance solutions also include

the size and part number of weights to be installed. A record of each balance run is

automatically stored and may be printed to provide a historical record when desired.

1-1.3 Hardware Description

The PBS-4100R+ system is an integrated Data Acquisition System containing two advanced

computers, Windows software, and the

WinPBS

Software package. The PBS-4100R+ system

is contained in a 19-inch rack-mount cabinet. The front panel of the unit includes a power

switch with an integral power indicator light, and a CD/DVD drive, and the rear panel provides

convenient connection points for engine data signals, a remote video display,

keyboard, and a

pointing device (mouse). The back panel also has connection points for Ethernet computer

communications, USB connections, and up to 16 optional analog output channels.

1-1.3.2 Power requirements

The PBS-4100R+ is designed to operate using standard test cell power sources. Input power

control circuits feature an autosensing/autoswitching function, which avoids the risk of

equipment damage due to improper power selection. Input power can be either 115 or 230

VAC (± 10%) and 50, 60, or 400 Hz (± 10%).

1-1.3.3 Input Data Signals

The PBS-4100R+ uses input data signals that are generated by one or more vibration pickups

mounted on the engine. Some engines have built-in vibration pickups, whereas other engines

require the installation of temporary pickups for ground test. The PBS-4100R+ also requires an

engine speed signal, and this can come from a built-in speed pickup (when present) or from a

ground test tachometer.

The PBS-4100R+ has been designed to interface directly with test cell wiring. However,

specially designed optional cable sets are available to connect the PBS-4100R+ to the

appropriate vibration and speed pickups on a particular engine type.

Revision 1.0 – Feb 8, 2021

1-1.4.3 Interface Cables.

Although engine test cells frequently are wired for all engine signals, customers often request

special cabling to help in the operation of the PBS-4100R+. Figure 1-4 illustrates two engine

interface cables manufactured by MTI Instruments.

The engine interface cable (EIC), with appropriate jumpers at each end, carries signals from the

engine directly to the PBS-4100R+. It contains four pairs of twisted-pair conductors, with

shielding on each pair. One of these pairs is normally reserved to provide 12V DC power to

optional charge amplifiers leaving three pairs available for data channels (for example, two

vibration channels and one tachometer channel).

Normally the EIC is used with PBS-4100+ systems for on-wing applications where aircraft wiring

does not carry the signals required by the PBS-4100+. However, the EIC can also be used to

supplement test cell wiring. The EIC is supplied on a reel and is available in varying lengths,

with lengths of 90 feet (27 meters) and 190 feet (58 meters) being standard.

The PBS jumper cable connects the PBS-4100R+ to the EIC. There is a family of these cables

that are used to provide power (from the PBS-4100R+ unit) to the optional charge amplifier

boxes, and to deliver engine tachometer and vibration signals to proper PBS-4100R+ rear panel

connectors. Other cables are offered to complete connections between the EIC cable and

engine specific instrumentation such as vibration sensors and tachometers. Consult the factory

for engine and application specific part numbers.

Revision 1.0 – Feb 8, 2021

1-1.5 Calibration Accessories

The PBS-4100R+ features a built-in self-calibration and alignment feature that utilizes the

capabilities of MTI Instruments 1510A Portable Signal Source. Illustrated here, the 1510A can

be programmed manually or via computer commands to produce signals at precise voltages and

frequencies. When connected to the PBS-4100R+ using a USB connection, precise signals are

automatically commanded that can be used to check the calibration of the system, and when

required, are used to re-align (or adjust) the PBS-4100R+ to meet calibration requirements.

Using the 1510A will ensure that the PBS-4100R+ system maintains factory level accuracy.

Revision 1.0 – Feb 8, 2021

The PBS-4100R+ has been developed specifically for test cell integrators who desire a state-of-

the-art vibration data collection system that can be easily integrated into their systems. The

PBS-4100R+ can be used on virtually any gas turbine engine. Under normal operation, the

PBS-4100R+ will be controlled by the test cell host computer. However, the PBS-4100R+ can

always be used in a “manual” mode of operation. To set up the PBS-4100R+ for use on a

particular engine, the operator must select the appropriate engine type from a menu. By

making a selection from the menu, the user directs the PBS-4100R+ to retrieve data from an

engine parameters file, which contains data specific to the selected engine type. The engine

parameter data includes technical specifications such as idle and 100% speed values, vibration

sensor sensitivities, balance weight classes, number and spacing of balance weight mounting

holes, etc.

The basic PBS-4100R+ system comes equipped with several engine parameter files installed at

the factory. Additional engine type files are available from MTI as options, and virtually an

unlimited number of engine types can be stored in the PBS-4100R+ system. New engine types

can be permanently added to the system by installing the appropriate parameters file in a one-
