The unit delivered incorporates the latest state of the art. The manufacturer declines
any legal responsibility and liability for inspections carried out with the apparatus
and for resulting consequences. Successful implementation of an inspection
presupposes, in addition to the control of the unit setting, also a knowledge of the
product to be tested, its material properties, of possible errors and their underlying
causes. If these prerequisites are not satisfied, the result will be questionable. In
order to avoid faulty operation and other errors, training in the manufacturers factory
or by an independent training organisation is recommended.

Congratulation on the decision to use the eddyliner
Px the
troublesome study of a detailed user manual.
As a new user of the eddyliner
Px.
Please read these operating instructions carefully in order to avoid operating errors.
We have tried to keep the instructions as short as possible in an effort not to burden
you with unnecessary information.
1.1. The principle of eddy current testing
When alternating current is sent through a transmitter coil, a magnetic field builds up
at the coil. If a conductive test part approaches the current-carrying coil, an eddy
current is induced in the test part. This phenomenon is schematically illustrated in
Fig. 1.1.

Fig. 1.1
The magnitude of the eddy current depends on the chemical composition (alloy) and
on the structural condition (e.g. hardened). By changing the eddy current frequency,
an electromagnetic "thumbprint" of the structural state is obtained in the coil system.
This can be picked up by the instrument through the integrated receiver coil and
evaluated.
An alteration in the structural state, in the alloy and the like attributable to a mix-up
of material, a batch mix or faulty thermal treatment causes also the eddy current
signal to change. The eddyliner

The outstanding properties of PREVENTIVE MULTI-FREQUENCY TESTING
(PMFT) are the following:
Maximum testing reliability - even unknown errors are identified without fail.
Only good parts must be presented to the instrument.
RECORDING O.K. PARTS is extremely simple and effected in a very short time.
1.2. Possibilities of eddy current inspection
Eddy current inspection can be applied to any type of material being conductive
either electrically or magnetically. This holds good for all metallic materials.

Table 2.1
Our standard coils are classified by frequency ranges. Whereas the frequency range
of the encircling coils is directly indicated on the name plate, the probes are coded
as follows:
1 ring 25 Hz to 10 kHz
2 rings 250 Hz to 50 kHz
3 rings 5 kHz to 250 kHz
As far as encircling coils are concerned, a filling degree of 60 per cent should not be
fallen below as otherwise the measuring signals become too small and the
differences, e.g. in the case depth are no longer recognized distinctly. When using
encircling coils, a second coil is required for compensation. This coil must feature a
firmly mounted compensation part. Removing or shifting the compensation part

leads to wrong test results. The compensation part has no comparing function
designed to distinguish the OK-parts from the NotGood-parts.
The basic design of the standard encircling coils is displayed in Fig. 2.1. Each coil
contains a transmitter and a receiver winding. The receiver winding should always
be arranged as close as possible to the area to be measured. It is very easy to find
out on what side the receiver or transmitter windings are located. J ust take an
encircling coil and read the name plate. If you can read this plate and when the coil
plug is on the left side, the receiver winding is below and the transmitter winding is
above in the coil.

2.2. Creation of optimum test conditions
Please pay attention to the following points when carrying out a test. Carefully read
the following hints. Disregarding them is likely to lead to faulty measurements. The
eddy current procedure is no absolute method. The following parameters may cause
the results to scatter:
Non-homogeneities in material
Dimensional tolerances in the test part
Dimensional tolerances in coil positioning
Variations in temperature.
For optimum results please pay attention to the following points:

2-4 D-91320 Ebermannstadt Germany
Make sure that the parts for material data recording comply with the desired
specifications.
Feed the batches of material separately into the testing device.
Make sure that the test parts have a constant test temperature.
For RECORDING O.K. PARTS feed at least 7 to 10 OK-parts per material group
into the device.
Select reasonable tolerances to avoid the risk of obtaining undesirable pseudo
rejects.
Pick random samples from the reference parts during the test.
To protect the device against undesirable interventions, lock it via the key switch.
Read the operating instructions before putting the device into operation.
Make sure that constant and reproducible test conditions are maintained.
See to it that no metallic parts, which are not selected for testing, are located
near the test coils.
Carry out the test on a wooden table, if possible. Even steel girders underneath a
wooden board are likely to affect the test results.
Keep interferences as current impulses, flux machines active during the
measurement, electric welding and other magnetic or electric interference fields
away from the coil.
The following factors may adversely affect the measurement directly:
Positioning of the test part in the coil
Dimensional tolerances of the test parts
Variation in the batches
Differences in temperature between reference part and test part
Use of coils with a wrong frequency range
Lift-off effect due to dust and dirt
Edge effect caused by changing measuring positions with probe.

[?] key
With the [?] key you can call up a context-related help at any point of the control
software of the eddyliner
Px. This means that you will receive help at any point
of the software. Make it a habit to actuate this [?] key whenever a problem has to
be clarified. By depressing this [?] key again, you leave the help window.
[F?] key
This [F?] key refers to the soft keys [F1] - [F4]; by pressing the [F?] key you
receive a detailed explanation of the individual soft keys which can be selected in
both short form and long form. See the respective comments in the next chapter.
[QUIT] key
Actuating the [QUIT] key in TEST-SETUP operating mode causes AUTOPIP to
be adjusted to the empty coil, whilst in SETUP EDITOR mode the letters for the
set denomination are selected.
[ESC] key
When [ESC] key is actuated, a step back is made in the hierarchy of the
software.
If settings were changed without storing, an interrogation is made for safety
reasons. In general, with [+] you confirm the changes made and in this manner
you make up for the omitted storage. Via [-] you reject the changes (the old data
are displayed again) and pressing the [ESC] key once more, you interrupt the
operation to have another look at the changes.
If for some reason you must delete all data from the eddyliner
Px and reset it to
the starting position, you can keep the [ESC] key depressed during start-up of
eddyliner
Px.
Warning! This deletes definitely all settings, material data, tolerance zones and
sets !
[START] key
Independent of the type of measurement triggering in the
COMMUNICATION-SETUP via the [START] key the measurement can be
triggered manually at any time.
[+] and [-] key
The keys [+] and [-] can be used for the setting of parameters, selection from
lists and for answering interrogations. The [+] and [-] key is always active when
the green function lamp between these two keys lights up.
Cursor keys, left-right-top-bottom
The cursor can be moved across the screen with these keys. This is required
whenever various choices are offered. The cursor keys are ready for operation
when the green function lamp between the cursor keys is alight.
Key switch
This switch has three positions and the key can be taken out at all three
positions.

2-12 D-91320 Ebermannstadt Germany
Start of measurement with " PIP-signal" (Piece In Probe) :
A measurement must be started (PIP-signal) and requires a certain period of time
(MPRG-signal). Triggering of measurement is only possible in modes RECORDING
O.K. PARTS or SORTING; in all other modes of the eddyliner
Px a PIP-signal does
not trigger measurement, an MPRG-signal does not appear.
Settling delay:
After triggering of a measurement, but before measurement itself starts, an
adjustable settling delay may be selected. This settling delay allows the test part to
physically settle inside the test coil and measurement will not start unless the test
part has reached its final position in the coil.
" MPRG-signal" (Measuring in Progress) :
Working in mode RECORDING O.K. PARTS or SORTING, the MPRG-signal
(Measuring in Progress) will appear immediately after the PIP-signal (Piece In
Probe). The settling delay follows, and after termination measuring itself will start at
the first frequency.
Sorting decision with " OKx-signal" :
If testing is completed at all frequencies, the sort decision is made and applied to the
sort output (OKx). In the operating mode RECORDING O.K. PARTS, of course no
sort signal will be generated.
The ENDx-signal (end of testing by channel .x):
If all test frequencies for channel .x have completed testing (and possibly a sort
decision has been made), the ENDx-signal will be generated.
If the PIP of the following channel is set to AFTER, settling delay of this channel
starts immediately, the MPRG-signal remains active.
If it is the last channel within one block of testing, the MPRG-signal disappears.
Once the MPRG-signal has disappeared, the eddyliner
Px.
When using a probe or one pair of coils:
The probe or the pair of coils is connected directly to the eddyliner
Px
(see chapter "2.3. Wiring" on page 2-5).
(b) Connect printer and power line cable to the eddyliner
Px (see chapter
"2.3. Wiring" on page 2-5).
(c) At least 10 (better more) OK-parts (reference parts) are prepared.
(d) The characteristic eddy current data are recorded by "showing" the
reference parts.
(e) Automatic build-up of tolerance zones (this job is carried out by the
eddyliner
Px automatically).
(f) The test parts are tested by comparing their eddy current characteristics
with the tolerance zones built by the reference parts and sorting based on
Good (OK) and NotGood (NG) criteria.
Now proceed step by step as indicated in the short operating instructions. The
various menus mentioned here are explained in detail in chapter "4. Operating
modes and functions" on page 4-1 of the manual.
The standard configuration of the eddyliner
Px now displays the MAIN MENU and has loaded a set available
into the internal memory. On the screen, top left, you see the active Set-Number

The setting selected is now active.
4.2.1.11. Generation of the sum sort outputs OKS/NGS
Every channel provides a separate OKx-signal (sort output OK of channel .x) (OK1
to OK4 for eddyliner
P4).
In many cases, connection of a sorting gate or a PLC can be facilitated by doing the
logic operations of the individual test results in the eddyliner
Px already. In this
case, instead of (or in addition to) the OKx and ENDx outputs the sum sort outputs
OKS/NGS and the output END are used.
The sum sort outputs OKS/NGS can be generated by an AND or an OR operation
from the (possibly combined) OKx signals available.
The AND operation is an obvious choice e.g. for testing one part at several
positions. OKS will be placed after termination of test at the last test position only if
every position was OK, otherwise NGS will be activated.
The OR operation is used e.g. for testing a part at both ends, if a recognition of
direction is done by two coils or if different parts are sorted. OKS is placed after
termination of test at the last test position if at least one of the OKx signals used was
placed, otherwise NGS will be activated.
Whenever the OKS/NGS signals are used, the sequence of test
positions must be strictly adhered to !
When testing different types of parts, a logic combination of the OKx signals may not
be sensible. In this case, the logic combination should be switched off.
The choice of logic operation effects not only the generation of OKS and NGS
signals, but also the logic combination of the test positions when recording, marking,
deleting and counting parts.

characteristic eddy current data of individual parts known to be good. From these
data, permissible tolerance zones are formed and only then it is possible to
distinguish between Good and NotGood-parts.
Apart from the possibility of recording completely new or additional material data
(RECORDING O.K. PARTS), the tolerance zones resulting from these data can also
be assessed (TOLERANCE ZONE). By temporary or permanent deletion of the data
of individual parts, errors in material recording can be corrected (TOLERANCE

It is recommended that packing should only be executed after the final recording of
OK-parts and completion of tolerance zone correction. Thus, inadvertent deletion of
a part still required for the formation of tolerance zones can be avoided. A part
marked as "invalid" is not utilized for the formation of tolerance zones, it is handled
like a deleted part, which, however, can be made "valid" again.

If changes were made, the tolerance zones must be calculated new.
Subsequently, the TOLERANCE ZONE menu appears again.
4.4.4. DYNAMIC CONTROL
The absolute X and Y values of the stored material data can be seen in the
DYNAMIC CONTROL menu. This allows the extent of utilization of the dynamic
range to be evaluated. When the values displayed approach the range limit of
approx. 11,000, there is the risk of overflow. As a result, a good test part could be
identified as NotGood. On the other hand, very low X and Y values do not make for
optimum accuracy. The magnitude of the values can be influenced by the type of
coil(s), the position of the compensation part and the test frequencies applied.
If overflow occurs during the RECORDING O.K. PARTS, the DYNAMIC CONTROL
is activated automatically. For calling up the DYNAMIC CONTROL from the

A further possibility of entering into the SORTING operating mode is offered by the
MATERIAL DATA menu. This solution is imperative when no tolerance zones are
available in the instrument setting. In the TEST-SETUP menu you recognize by "#"
behind the respective tolerance zone character that a tolerance field exists. If the
symbol "#" is missing, tolerance zones must be formed and only then OK/NotGood
decisions can be made. In order to enter into SORTING via MATERIAL DATA,
proceed as indicated in chapter "4.4. Material data" on page 4-35.
In the right upper half of the screen (see Fig. 4.30) the parts counters are arranged:
number of the parts tested 100%
NG number of the NotGood-parts percentage of NotGood-parts
OK number of the OK-parts percentage of OK-parts
The displayed parts counters refer only to the channel displayed at the time. Here,
logic arrangements resulting from the setting of the communication parameters are
taken into consideration.
If all channels are displayed at the same time and the sum sort outputs OKS/NGS
(AND- or OR operation) are used, the parts counters displayed refer to these total
results. If all channels are displayed at the same time and the sum sort outputs
OKS/NGS (AND- or OR operation) are not used, the parts counters displayed show
the sum of parts counters of all individual channels.
The parts counters can be reset to zero with every new batch to be tested. There is
no need for the current sorting to be interrupted. This is effected as follows:
Press [F1], RES (reset parts counters)
A safety interrogation appears. (If the [ESC] key is pressed, there would be a

Also make sure that all plugs are fixed and in correct position.
Plugging-in of plugs after switching ON of eddyliner
Px may
cause damage to some components!
In mode COMMUNICATION-SETUP, the communication parameters of V24
interface may be selected. All parameters selected have to meet exactly the
parameters of the external computer connected via interface. The following
parameters may be selected:
Baud rate (150, , 115200 baud). Baud rates greater than 19200 require
software version Px300 or higher and PCPR11 chip on CPU board.
Parity (odd, even, none)
Number of data bits (7 or 8)
Number of stop bits (1 or 2)
When using a terminal program make sure protocol selected is none.
Modification of such parameters will only be effective after storage of this setting
(press keys [F4] and SAV and confirm the interrogation window with key [+])!
5.2. Format of transferable data and commands
7 bits are used for data transfer (ASCII-code 0-127), even when setting 8 data bits
for mode of transfer. In this case, peak bit is always 0 to keep the software required
for the computer independent from the mode of transfer. Transfer of complete bytes
is performed in half-byte mode, if necessary. For this purpose, high-order half-bytes
will be transferred first (then low-order half-bytes) by ASCII symbols '0'..'9' and
'A'..'F'
Unless expressly enquired, the eddyliner
Px will provide a set of test data after termination of each test procedure
(in modes RECORDING OF O.K. PARTS as well as SORTING). If test rate is very
high so that complete transfer of all data is not possible, a set of interruption data
will be provided instead of the missing data (see next chapter).
For adaptation to the required test rate and the demand for information, volume and
contents of the test data set may be configured (see also chapter
"5.6.6. Configuration of data sets ('lv')" on page 5-56).
A full test data set consists of a head, a body and an end. Additionally, the total test
result is transmitted whenever testing of one part is completed. The information
included is separated by blanks (indicated in form of '' ). Figures with variable
numbers of places after the comma are indicated with filling blanks in order to keep
that number of bytes transferred constant. Standard non-transferred information is

Manual eddyliner
Px with
automatic sort systems.
The computer-supported multi-frequency instrument eddyliner
Px is equipped with
a very efficient facility for communication with automatic systems. All inputs and
outputs are combined on one PC board. External connections are possible via two
Sub-D plugs.
All inputs and outputs are "optically isolated". This means that electric signals are
first converted into light signals to be converted back into electrical signal via
photosensitive receiver. Electric noise is thus prevented from penetration into the
instrument.
An external 24 V dc supply is required to operate this optical isolated interface (such
voltage supply is available in most cases for operation of PLC, etc.). This 24 V dc
supply is integrated in the standard eddyliner
Px.
Setups:
All settings referring to inputs and outputs are made in mode
COMMUNICATION-SETUP.
Module test:
All inputs and outputs may be checked in mode MODULE TEST. Working in this
mode, the outputs can be switched on and off pressing the relevant key. Signals of
inputs are displayed on the screen by symbolic lamps.
6.1. Temporary course of measurement
The eddylinerPx operates on the ibg-developed principle of PREVENTIVE
MULTI-FREQUENCY TESTING (PMFT). After the measurement has been
triggered, the test frequencies are applied successively to the coil system, starting at
the lowest test frequency. At each test frequency the response of the test part to the
coil system is recorded and the electric voltage vector is broken down into its X and
Y components and stored.
Upon completion of the test, depending on the operating mode, the values stored
are either compared with the tolerance zones (sorting) or assigned to the reference
values (mode RECORDING O.K. PARTS).

PIP (piece in probe)
Settling delay
MPRG (measurement
in progress)
OKx (sort impulse ok)
ENDx (end of
measurement)
Start of measurement with " PIP-signal" (Piece In Probe) :
A measurement must be started (PIP-signal) and requires a certain period of time
(MPRG-signal). Triggering of measurement is only possible in modes RECORDING
O.K. PARTS or SORTING; in all other modes of the eddylinerPx a PIP-signal
does not trigger measurement, an MPRG-signal does not appear.
Settling delay:
After triggering of a measurement, but before measurement itself starts, an
adjustable settling delay may be selected. This settling delay allows the test part to
physically settle inside the test coil and measurement will not start unless the test
part has reached its final position in the coil.
" MPRG-signal" (Measuring in Progress) :
Working in mode RECORDING O.K. PARTS or SORTING, the MPRG-signal
(Measuring in Progress) will appear immediately after the PIP-signal (Piece In
Probe). The settling delay follows, and after termination measuring itself will start at
the first frequency.
Sorting decision with " OKx1-signal" :
If testing is completed at all frequencies, the sort decision is made and applied to the
sort output (OKx1). In the operating mode RECORDING O.K. PARTS, of course no
sort signal will be generated.
The ENDx1-signal (end of testing by channel .x):
If all test frequencies for channel .x have completed testing (and possibly a sort
decision has been made), the ENDx1-signal will be generated.
If the PIP of the following channel is set to AFTER, settling delay of this channel
starts immediately, the MPRG-signal remains active.
If it is the last channel within one block of testing, the MPRG-signal disappears.
Once the MPRG-signal has disappeared, the eddylinerPx is again ready for a
new measurement (see also chapter "10.2. Time diagram" on page 10-56).

When testing is initiated by PIPx-inputs, switching to the displayed channels on the
eddyliner
Px is not necessary. The test part will be tested in this manner at all test
positions.
Example:
If every test part is to be tested at four test positions subsequently using one pair of
coils, an automatic handling system may be used. This system is intended for
positioning the test parts or the coil and starts testing with the respective channel
when the required test position is reached. The following figure shows a possible

6.1.1.2. Continuous measurement (KONTI-PIP)
The PIP-mode KONTI-PIP is used for testing of very long parts (e.g. wire) as well as
for continuous sorting (without interruption). Operate key [ESC] to stop KONTI-PIP.
6.1.1.3. Subsequent testing (AFTER-PIP)
If testing is to be done "simultaneously" at several positions using one coil head or
several pairs of coils, it is sufficient to initiate testing once (by MANUE, PIP1 or
AUTOM) on channel 1. All further testing can be initiated quickly by the
eddyliner
Px itself.
The PIP operating mode AFTER generates an internal PIP signal when testing is
completed at the previous test position. Then, the test result is combined with the
result of the test position before the previous one. Every "block of tests" (displayed
between the columns "coil" and "time") requires only one single external PIP signal.
The total test time comprising all test times of one block of tests is displayed in the
column "time" at the end of every block. The MPRG signal (Measuring in Progress)
is not switched off between two test positions connected via AFTER-PIP, it remains

X/Y-values of AUTOPIP-frequency

X/Y-values are changing if a test part is introduced into the test coil 1.
U/V-values of AUTOPIP
In order to automatically recognize an approaching test part, the differential voltage
between test coil 1 and compensation coil 1 has to vary by a certain value, the so-
called delta value. It means the distance between the co-ordinates "U/V" and "X/Y".
X/Y-values of an empty test coil 1 have to be transmitted to the values "U/V".
Transmission is done automatically as soon as modes RECORDING O.K. PARTS or
SORTING are entered! In mode TEST-SETUP the current X/Y-values are
transferred to "U" and "V" by operating key [QUIT].

Delta value means the distance between the co-ordinates stored as "U" and "V" and
the current X/Y-co-ordinates of AUTOPIP:
Delta =

V) (Y U) (X +
The delta value is of importance to threshold "Th:" of AUTOPIP. The delta value is
used to investigate if the differential voltage WITH test part provides a sufficient
delta value against the differential voltage WITHOUT test part (U/V).
If the difference is not large enough, triggering of AUTOPIP might not be guaranteed
(so better select other AUTOPIP frequency).
Threshold (Th:)
When a test part approaches the coil, this threshold must be exceeded to trigger
measurement. It is recommendable to select a threshold value very close to the
maximum delta value as in this case measurement will only start immediately before
the test part has reached its final position. However, if a too high a threshold value is
selected, delta value will not come up to this threshold and measurement will not be
triggered at all. 75% of maximum delta value have proven to be an acceptable
threshold.
Threshold value shows hysteresis behaviour (70%).

(b) If voltage difference between empty coil 1 and filled coil is not large
enough, measurement cannot be triggered as the threshold will not be
exceeded. This is due to insufficient filling degree or wrong AUTOPIP
frequency (e.g. too low frequency for testing of austenitic materials).
Remedy:
Change AUTOPIP frequency until a frequency is found to exceed the
threshold. Select more appropriate diameter of coil to improve filling
degree.
6.1.2. Settling delay
As soon as measurement has been triggered (PIP) the "settling delay" starts. This
settling delay may be adjusted for every individual channel between 0 and 5,000 ms
and is intended to delay the beginning of measurement until the test parts have
reached their final position inside the coil. For automatic sort systems settling delay
should best be set to values between 10 ms and 300 ms. Standard value is 100 ms.
For synchronous triggering of measurement during High-Speed operation settling
delay is not necessary at all. Set value to 0.
If the PIP was set to AFTER for one or several channels, these channels are
combined to form a block of tests. As the test part will have settled during the
settling delay of the first test channel used, the setting of further settling delays in
this block of tests is not necessary. In such combined blocks of tests, the settling
delay of the first channel of the block is important. In order to keep total test time
short, the settling delay of the further channels of the block of tests should be set to
0 ms.
6.1.3. Total test time and MPRG
The output signal MPRG (Measuring in Progress) is always activated when
measurement is effected. It is switched ON as soon as a PIP-signal appears and
comprises the time required for settling delay as well as test time required for each
frequency. Total test time is indicated in milliseconds.
PIP (piece in probe)
Settling delay
MPRG (measur. in prog.)
=Total test time long short
Length of total test time depends on length of settling delay as well as on the
number of channel in one block of tests and the test time required for each
frequency. Higher frequencies require shorter test time. It furthermore depends on
interference suppression: highest-possible interference suppression will prolong test
time whereas high-speed testing will shorten test time significantly.

loads to allow direct connection of bigger lamps or sorting gates. For further

Caution:
Inductive loads such as motors, solenoids (rotary magnets),
contactors, and relays have to be suppressed directly at the coil by
RC-network !
Suppression by diode, Zener diode or VDR would generate
high-frequent (>1 MHz) interference signals and should in any
case be replaced by RC-network or at least be "neutralized" by
parallel-wiring of an RC-network.

6.3. Connection Distributor (PEXT)
The optional connection distributor provides all inputs and outputs of the 25-pole
Sub-D plug of the optointerface to terminal screws. The numbering of these screws
corresponds to the pin numbers of the optointerface.
All input signals, the supply lines I24V, E24V and 24GND and the output signals
MPRG and SFTY are connected directly with the optointerface. All other output
signals can bear higher loads due to additional drivers. For example, sorting gates
or lamps can be controlled directly via connection distributors without additional
relays. The maximum load of the 24V voltage supply must be paid attention to.
For further information on the connection requirements of the signals connected
directly to the optointerface, please see chapter "6.2.1. Protective wiring of inputs
and outputs" on page 6-56 and chapter "6.2.2. Signal levels of inputs and outputs"
on page 6-56.
The following applies to all output signals provided on the terminal screws of the
connection distributor (PEXT) except MPRG and SFTY:
Output data Dim. min. max.

doubling this figure (2 x 144 ms) results in a
total time for self-calibration of approx. 288 ms
Self-calibration is done immediately after testing is completed. During this period of
time, testing is not possible. The time required for self-calibration has practically no
influence on total test time, as usually the part is removed from the coil and a new
part inserted.

10.4. Pin Configuration of POPX and PEXT
The optointerface (POPX) provides all inputs and outputs on a 25pole Sub-D socket.
The optional connection distributor PEXT provides all inputs and outputs of the 25-
pole Sub-D plug of the optointerface to terminal screws. The numbering of these
screws corresponds to the pin numbers of the optointerface.
