The aim of the invention is to design electronic components in such a way that their characteristics are permanently associated with them in such a way that, if necessary, they can be determined rapidly and fed directly to an electronic data-processing device for processing. The invention achieves this aim by fitting to the component an electronic data store (3) which stores the important characteristics of the component (1), an interface dedicated to the data store (3) fitted to the component (1) being designed for connection to a computer (8) for reading and/or processing the contents of the data store (3).

An electromotive induction current which is detected by an induction coil (30b) placed in an electromagnetic field generated by applying an alternating current to an exciting coil (30a) distinctively changes with the frequency of the applied alternating current in accordance with the conditions of an object (S) placed in the electromagnetic field. By analyzing the change in amplitude and/or frequency phase of the electromotive induction current, the physical properties, size and relative position of the object and internal defects such as a crack and pin hole in the object can be measured precisely.

Beschrieben wird ein Wirbelstromsensor mit einer Meßspule, in deren magnetischem Feld das zu erfassende Objekt angeordnet ist, und einer Referenzspule sowie einem Sinusgenerator, dessen Ausgangssignal an die Spulen angelegt ist, deren Ausgangssignal mittels eines Subtrahierers subtrahiert wird, dessen Ausgangssignal an einen ersten Demodulator direkt und an einen zweiten Demodulator über einen 90°-Phasenschieber angelegt ist, wobei an den Demodulatoren als zusätzliches Signal das über einen Phasenschieber mit einstellbarem Phasenwinkel verschobene Ausgangssignal des Sinusgenerators angelegt ist, und der Phasenwinkel so gewählt ist, daß Störsignale in der komplexen Impedanzebene eine bestimmte Richtung haben. Der erfindungsgemäße Sensor zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß das Ausgangssignal des ersten Demodulators über einen Verstärker mit einstellbarem Verstärkungsfaktor (a) und das Ausgangssignal des zweiten Demodulators über einen Verstärker mit einstellbarem Verstärkungsfaktor (b) an einen weiteren Subtrahierer angelegt ist, dessen Ausgangssignal (U trig ) z. B. über eine Triggerschwelle als Maß für das zu erfassende Objekt herangezogen wird.

A method of calibrating a sensor array (100). The array (100) comprises a plurality of elements (112) spaced from one another in a first direction (X), the array (100) defining an array spatial response function f(x). The calibration method comprises the following steps: providing a test workpiece (110) comprising at least first and second calibrated defects (114, 116) spaced apart in the first direction by a characteristic distance such that when the first calibrated surface defect (114) is located at a position corresponding to a maximum of the array response function, the second calibrated surface defect (116) is located at a position corresponding to a minimum of the array response function; passing the array (110) across the first and second calibrated surface defects (114, 116) in a direction normal to the first direction (X) and determining a peak sensor signal from at least two of the elements (112) in the array (110) to determine a root mean squared average of the array spatial response function; and setting a rejection threshold as a predetermined proportion of the root mean squared average of the array spatial response function.

A magnetic field sensor system comprises a plurality of magnetic field sensor elements (CSE), which each are configured to provide an individual sensor value, and of which a first portion is arranged in a first contiguous area (A1) and a second portion is arranged in a second contiguous area (A2), and a coil wire arrangement (CWA) comprising a first coil portion (CP1) and at least a second coil portion (CP2, ..., CP10) being connected to the first coil portion (CP1), wherein the first coil portion (CP1) is arranged close to the sensor elements (CSE) of the first area (A1) and the second coil portion (CP2) is arranged close to the sensor elements (CSE) of the second area (A2) such that, if a predetermined current is applied to the coil wire arrangement (CWA), a first magnetic field component is generated at the first area (A1) and a second magnetic field component is generated at the second area (A2) being opposite to the first magnetic field component. The magnetic field sensor system is configured to produce a total sensor value that is based on a difference between the individual sensor values provided within the first area (A1) and the individual sensor values provided within the second area (A2).

摘要:
The invention concerns a circuit assembly including a measurement coil (L) located in one arm (2) of a bridge circuit. To power the bridge, the invention calls for two synchronized signal generators (14, 16) which can be controlled independently of each other and can supply the bridge simultaneously with different voltages. This makes it possible to balance the bridge, and hence carry out eddy-current testing at different frequencies, without the need for mechanically changeable circuit elements in the bridge arms (2, 8).
