As soon as the Evaluator is powered up, it starts the initial self check procedure and shows the READY status if all pre-set conditions are fulfilled. This self check procedure is carried out in a certain cycle. Regardless of the GREEN READY LED status of the Evaluator, if a working SRE is connected to it, the Evaluator samples the signals […]
At the installation of the BeCOMS® sensor SRE an one time calibration of the incremental encoder has to be performed. This involves synchronising the neutral point of the incremental encoder with the firing Top Dead Center (TDC) of cylinder 1 by finding offset between them. It is important that the firing TDC is chosen at four-stroke engines, that is, when
Check for the following: Note: Steps 4a – 6a are required if a RS-485 converter is used; steps 4b – 5b are for the case when a PCI card is built into the PC.
A proper cabling between SRE, Evaluator and PC is required to achieve an interference-free signal transmission and thus for the function of the BeCOMS® system. To ensure this, the following Pre-Commissioning-Checks must be done.
Attention This chapter only applies if you are running a BeCOMS® Advanced or BeCOMS® Professional system! The Data_Logger and Data _Indicator software comes pre-installed with the supplied Data Logger PC. The programmes must be configured correctly according to the system specific configuration on site after BeCOMS® commissioning. Please refer to BeCOMS® Data_Logger and Data_Indicator manual for information.

The SRE must only be replaced by personnel from motcom GmbH or its authorized representatives. Installation and replacement of the SRE requires careful mechanical alignment as well as a precise synchronisation with the engine the SRE is installed to. To ensure the high level of reliability crucial for operation, two steps must be carried out very carefully: For the synchronization
The Slip Ring Encoder is installed at the end of the crankshaft of the combustion engine via an engine specific adapter (refer to Fig.5.1 and Fig.5.2). The evaluator can be installed in the engine room near the engine or, alternatively, in the engine control room. The length of signal cables must not exceed 100 m. Example for an Installation
Installation and commissioning of BeCOMS® must be conducted or supervised by personnel from motcom GmbH or its authorized representatives only. The installation procedure includes training for the site operation personnel. The commissioning data will be provided to the customer as part of the training for later reference. During the initial installation the current BeCOMS® wiring will be adapted to the
