Fundamentals
2. Fundamentals
The typical measuring chain consists of a piezoelectric sen-
sor with charge output, a charge amplifier and a system for
cycle command, data acquisition and data evaluation.
In industrial applications, cycle command functionality is
usually implemented with a programmable logic controller
(PLC).
2.1 Piezoelectric measurement

Sensors
Piezoelectric sensors directly convert mechanical quantities,
such as force, pressure and acceleration, into an electric
charge. This charge is proportional to the force acting on
the quartz crystal in the sensor. The sensitivity of the sen-
sors is given in pC/M.U.
Fig. 3: Force F on the piezoelectric sensor
5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 7
Notes on piezoelectric measurement

When working with piezoelectric instruments, please note
that these differ from other familiar electrical measuring in-
struments. The applicable criteria are different from those
for conventional current or voltage measurement, for ex-
ample. When unpacking the sensors and the special cables
ensure that their connectors remain clean and dry, in order
to maintain their high insulation resistance. In particular,
the Teflon insulator of all connector pairs in the input cir-
cuit must be kept absolutely clean and must not be touched
with your fingers. Only use unadulterated cleaning agents,
for example 1003 cleaning spray from Kistler or white spir-
its, on a clean, lint-free paper towel.
High insulation sensor cables

Only high insulation, low noise sensor cables, as per Kistler
data sheets 1631C_000-346 and 1601B_000-352, may be
used for connecting the sensors. Normal commercial coax-
ial cables generate triboelectricity as a result of movement,
which would falsify the measurement result.
Connecting piezoelectric sensors in parallel

When several sensors are connected in parallel, the charge
amplifier measures the sum of all charges. For example, the
four quartz force links of a measuring platform can be con-
nected in parallel in order to measure the total force.
Polarity
Kistler defines polarity in such a way that an increase in
compressive force in a force sensor produces a negative
charge. The charge amplifier inverts the sensor signal and in
this case generates a positive output voltage.
Measuring range
We recommend setting the widest measuring range at the
start of measurement or for very intermittent operation.
Normal overdriving by overly-large charge signals does not
damage the charge amplifier. If the amplifier is overdriven
by a factor of more than 10, the charge can produce an
unacceptably high voltage. The amplitude of the voltage
depends on the input charge, the total input capacitance
(sensor and cable) and the range capacitor.
Measure mode
The major advantage of the charge amplifier principle is that
even quasi-static measurement can be carried out perfectly.
Static measurement is limited by the finite time constant in
the negative feedback circuit, as well as by drift effects (for
example, input current) in the charge amplifier.
Page 8 5074B_002-942e-09.20
Fundamentals
2.2 The industrial charge amplifier

In this context it should be noted that the term "charge am-
plifier" does not mean a device that amplifies a charge Q1
to a value Q2. We use it in the sense of a device for con-
verting the charge Q into a voltage Ua. A charge amplifier
is therefore a charge-to-voltage converter. It employs the
circuit principle of the integrator. Its key components are
an operational amplifier with very high internal gain and
extremely high input insulation (Rg) as well as a high-preci-
sion, low-loss negative feedback capacitor (Cg).
Fig. 5: Equivalent circuit diagram of charge amplifier with

charge source
The following approximate formula is adequate for calcu-

lating the voltage signal in most cases:
Ua = -Q / Cg
At the end of each measuring cycle the negative feedback

capacitor is discharged by means of the Reset command and
the output signal is set to zero in order to prevent zero drift
during measurement. The insulation resistance of the nega-
tive feedback capacitor Cg determines the lower cut-off fre-
quency of the charge amplifier according to the formula
fu = 1/(2τ · Rg · Cg )
The negative feedback capacitor can also be discharged ac-

cording to a time constant. This option is available in the
device with a preconfigured resistor but can also be config-
ured with a different time constant on request.
Very stringent requirements are imposed on the stability,

low input current and high input insulation of such an inte-
grator, as the charges to be measured are often just a few
pC. As a result of the high charge sensitivity and high input
resistance, the sensitivity to noise is also relatively high.
In industrial applications, the sensitivity to interference can be

reduced if the charge amplifier is mounted as close as possible
to the sensor. The signal can then be processed further away,
as the output circuit of the charge amplifier is low resistance
and hence insensitive to interference.

3. Description of the Type 5074 charge amplifier

All communication, configuration and user data is transmit-
ted exclusively via the industrial Ethernet, making the de-
vice easily applicable for machine and equipment builders.
No additional software is required but the already known
programming interface of the machine control system.
Know-how about PLC system setup, programming and de-
vice integration is required.
Integration into the control environment is carried out as
with a standard fieldbus device using the programming in-
terface of the PLC manufacturer and the device description
file which is provided by Kistler.
Functions and parameters

The feature set of the 5074B... may be configured to meet
the effectively required functionality. Parameters are set us-
ing the startup configuration parameters. Changes on these
channel configuration parameters may be sent to the de-
vice during an active measurement, but require a measure-
reset-measure toggle and will be activated with the next
measuring cycle.
Influencing and adapting the process data

The processing of many analog values under short cycle
times can dramatically increase the utilization of the net-
work. The 5074B enables the flexible adaptation of the pro-
cess image and thus an optimization of the network utiliza-
tion according to customer requirements. Possible measures
to reduce the process data are:
- Use of 16Bit values instead of 32Bit
- Disable unnecessary data (e.g. floating point values,
integral and peak values)
Refer to Section 4.2 for more details regarding PLC integra-

tion, channel control and configuration:
- Scaling of the input signals
- Measurement range setting
- Adjustable low-pass filter
- Oversampling factor
- Time constant, high-pass filter
- Peak tracking
- Integral calculation

4. Commissioning
Do never open the device.

Moisture and particles would be able to enter the device
and may cause errors and drift.
4.1 Installation
To mount the amplifier, use the flange marked on the
graphic and M4 Cylinder Head Screws.
See Chapter 4.1.3 for details on EMC and ground-loop.
4.1.1 Connecting sensors

Depending on the version, one, two, three or four sensors
can be connected to the 5074B charge amplifier.
The extremely high input insulation of the charge am-

plifier (>1E13 Ohm) means the signal or charge input
has to be protected against dirt and moisture. Clean the
connector contacts with a clean, lint-free paper towel
and Type 1003 cleaning spray or white spirit.
Connect the cable to the sensor. We recommend using
high-insulation, low-noise cables from the Kistler range.
These are tested specifically for high insulation resistance,
low noise and low unwanted (triboelectric) charge pro-
duced by friction. If the cable is moved during operation,
it should not be suspended over spans exceeding 30 ...
50 cm.
Connect the sensor cable to the KIAG 10-32UNF neg.
jack of the industrial charge amplifier.

4.1.3 Network and power connection

The internal switching type power converter is built up
with galvanic insulation. This provides additional immunity
against noise generated by other slave devices connected to
the same power supply.
The power output connector allows power routing through

the cascaded devices to have multiple slave devices con-
nected in a line. However the current routing through the
5074B is limited to 1.5A.

4.1.4 EMC and ground loops

Piezoelectric sensors are usually designed so that one of the
electrodes is connected on the sensor case, allowing the use
of coaxial cables. So when the sensor is installed, it is usu-
ally grounded by the metal structure (safety). If the sensor
is not insulated when it is installed, a resultant ground loop
could cause interference.
There are different countermeasures if EMC or ground

loops occur:
A low-impedance and at the same time low-inductance

connection between instrument case and sensor (large-ar-
ea copper braiding, ribbon cable) usually provides good re-
sults.
On the other side, the sensor may also be installed using

insulation elements to eliminate current flow based on po-
tential differences or induction.
Since network and power connection are galvanically insu-

lated, there shall be a defined connection of the measuring
chain to a ground level.

Potential differences from sensor to amplifier mounting
area
On single channel 5074B1xx device, either sensor or am-
plifier shall be connected to ground, in order to not have a
floating measurement system.
Page 16 5074B_002-942e-09.20
Commissioning
Potential differences between sensor inputs

On multi-channel 5074B2xx, 5074B3xx and 5074b4xx it is
important to consider, that sensor connector grounds are
internally connected and capacitive coupled to the housing.
It is therefore recommended to electrically insulate the sen-

sors in order to prevent electrical current flow due to po-
tential differences between sensor locations, or to take ade-
quate counter measures.
4.2 PLC integration

The device is configured for each channel initially with the
user parameters or during operation using acyclic commu-
nication. The fieldbus provides the following data as cyclic
data:
Channel data blocks 1 to 4 are optional depending on the
use by the customer.
Input data channel 1 Input data channel 2 Input data channel 3 Input data channel 4
Output data channel 1 Output data channel 2 Output data channel 3 Output data channel 4
The cyclic output data block contains individual control bits

for each channel. Control bits are processed internally and
then confirmed with the status bits contained in the input
data block that is sent to the master with every cycle.
Fig. 1: Example regarding control and status bits:
5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 17
1. Start of measurement by activating control bits operate

and peak control (confirmed with the status bits)
2. To eliminate unwanted peak values, toggling the peak
control off and on will reset the peak values to the instant
value
3. Peak values indicate detected min/max values
(acquired by internal sample rate, with or without
filtering)
4. Termination of the measurement by deactivating the
control bits operate and peak control

4.2.1.2 Cyclic measurement data

Scaled analog value
(REAL, 4 Byte)
Contains the measured value scaled with the scaling divisor
to the measuring unit [M.U.] and is limited by the internal
ranges, not by the customer defined range. This means that
on a range overflow, the value will still correspond to the
effective input value unless there is a hardware overload on
the range capacitor and digitization which would result in
an indication by the status Bit 7 «Error».
Scaled peak value

(min/max) (2x REAL 4 Byte)
Peak values are acquired in the FPGA at maximum internal
sampling rate.
Peak values may be acquired filtered or not filtered (see
channel configuration, filtered peak detection) and are limit-
ed by the internal ranges, not by the customer defined range.
This means that on a range overflow, the value will still corre-
spond to the effective input value unless there is a hardware
overload on the range capacitor or digitization which would
result in an indication by the status Bit 7 «Error».
Values may be reset during an active measurement by tog-
gling the control Bit 1 «Peak measurement active».
Int scaled value

(INT 2 Byte x Oversampling factor)
Contains the measured value scaled with the scaling divi-
sor and is limited by the customer defined range that corre-
sponds to INT 2 Bytes (-32768 ... +32767 bit).
The selectable oversampling factor 1x … 50x 1) is available for
this Data Type only and results in splitting communication cy-
cle rate into sub-elements to get multiple values within a com-
munication cycle. This allows signal acquisition on fast process-
es independent from the available communication cycle.

5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 21
Integral value
(REAL, 4 Byte)
This data type contains the integral value which is calcu-
lated inside the FPGA within a measurement cycle, respec-
tively while the control Bit 2 «integral control active» is ac-
tive. The calculated integral value may be reset at any time
during an active measurement.
4.2.1.3 Cyclic status bits

The state machine for the status bits includes delays for sta-
tus changes. These delays may be violated by not waiting
for this handshake information but will be answered with
the status bit «warning» set 1.
It is highly recommended to use the status bits and allow

proper reset of the measuring channel, because discharge
of the signal is given by physical means. Violating the re-
set-time may result in incorrect measurement data.

Bit 0. Operate state
(1 Bit, Default = 0 / Reset)
Follows the operate control bit and indicates operation sta-
tus (device in measuring or reset condition).
Bit 1. Peak state

Follows the peak control bit and confirms status of peak ac-
quisition
Bit 2. Integral state

Follows the integral control bit and confirms status of inte-
gral calculation: 1 = active, 0 = stopped / off
Bit 3. Parameter active

Indicates if the perceived configuration data is active or
ready (if device is in reset state)
New configuration parameters can be sent during an active
measurement (operate state), but will become activated
only with the next reset cycle and then confirmed with the
control bit parameter active set 1.
Bit 4. Reserved

Bit 5. Overload
Signalizes that the configured range got exceeded since set-
ting the corresponding channel active and stays high un-
til the next reset-cycle. Internal hard integrator (capacitor)
overload will set Overload + Error until reset cycle.
Bit 6. Warning
Warning bit set active indicates violation of discharge time
(handshake ignored) or if cycle time of communication in-
terface is set too fast.
Bit 7. Error
Wrong/missing device calibration, or invalid data, or hard-
ware overload, or other critical failure (details are available
using the error code)

real-time dependent. It is used for initial device configu-
ration data and has low or none effect on cycle times. It
is also used for exceptional events and errors and may be
used for configuration changes and access during normal
operation, for example to reconfigure the measuring chan-
nel for the following measurement cycle.

4.2.4 Advanced features description

Synchronization
Synchronization is an important feature for deterministic
«real-time» operations and required for the oversampling
feature!
By synchronizing the internal clocks of the devices, a pre-
cise time allocation of down to 1us is possible. This allows
collecting data from different slaves with the same defined
time stamp for precise data processing with very low time
jitter.
Each industrial Ethernet has its own name for this tech-
nique. Please refer to the documentation of the industrial
Ethernet Standards for more details:
EtherCat: distributed clocks

Ethernet/IP: CIP synch (not available on 5074B)
ProfiNet IRT: isochronous real-time
Oversampling
Oversampling describes an internal data collection feature
providing multiple data to the master, and allows acquiring
the signal with a higher resolution in terms of time.
This feature has some limitation because of extensive data
usage of the Ethernet based communication system.
EtherCat:
Available on 16Bit signed INT values only
Configurable for each channel separately
Up to 50 samples per cycle or up to 50k samples per
second
Ethernet/IP
Currently not available (not defined in the Ethernet/IP
standard)

dard)

4.2.5 EtherCat (integration into TwinCat 3, beckhoff)
Installation into TwinCat™ is done using the GSD File and

shall be carried out as described in the PLC Supplier’s online
information system.
After configuration of the Hardware structure, the Type

5074 is listed in the Devices tree and allows access to its
cyclic data and configuration.
Device identification and configuration Parameters are list-

ed in the Object Dictionary at the CoE-Online Tab and can
be identified from there:
0x1018: Ethercat Object
0x50n0: Channel Settings
0x51n0: Errorcodes
0x80nx: Calibration Data
0xF008: Password protection
4.2.5.1 Startup parameters

Default startup parameters may be checked and configured
under the “startup” tab, giving access to a list of parame-
ters for the device and all available channels.
Parameters can be changed by double click and edit of the
values in the popup dialogue.
While the parameters “Range” and “Scaling Divisor” re-

quire an entry of a value (this can be done as FLOAT value),
the parameters for “Filter frequency”, “Time Constant”
and “Peak Mode” require selection of displayed options
from the drop-down list.

4.2.5.2 Available PDOs

The PDO List of the Type 5074 can be configured individ-
ually to provide the required data from each measuring
channel.
Example screenshot on the left shows different measure-

ment data configured for each channel:
Channel 1: Oversampling with Factor 5 (INT values)

Channel 2: Instant value in FLOAT only
Channel 3: Peak values in FLOAT only
Channel 4: calculated Integral in FLOAT only
To adjust the process data, PDOs can be included by select-

ing or deselecting from the Assignment list, referring to the
PDO list with the PDO names.
Since the Oversampling settings will reset other PDO selec-

tions, it is recommended to start with configuration of the
Oversampling functionality.
Oversampling can be activated using the settings on Tab
DC/Oversampling in Twincat 3 and by selection of an op-
eration mode without free run (Mode “1…4 channels”
are with sync, while Mode “Free run - 1…4 channels” are
without synchronization).
Please refer to chapter 6 for more details on sync shift and
timing.

4.2.5.3 Configuration during operation

It is common for some applications, that measuring range
and scaling divisor of a measuring channel need to be ad-
justed during a full process cycle.
Using CoE commands, new configuration data for measur-

ing channels can be sent to the Type 5074 for channel ad-
justment. This can be done also while the channel is mea-
suring, but the new configuration will only become active
after a reset cycle of the corresponding measuring channel.
Please refer to the user parameter list and documentation

of TwinCat™ for acyclic communication details.

All accessible parameters which are necessary to control the
basic settings of the Charge Amplifier Type 5074 are cov-
ered within vendor-specific objects. These can be accessed
by using CIP-messages on the objects 0x80 to 0x88.
Every vendor-specific object has its own Object Attributes

described in Table 1: Object Attributes. With a read service
on Attribute 3 of Instance 0 the Number of Instances for
the vendor-specific object can be read out. On some ob-

5. Maintenance and diagnostics

Referring to ISO 9001, an interval for measuring instru-
ments must be defined in order to ensure correct operation
over lifetime.
There is no explicit talk of a time interval, so that even the
"number of usages" can be a criterion. The review can be
done by the organization itself or by a specialized external
service provider. Usually, however, calibrations are made at
long intervals (0.5 to several years).
Incorrect measurements are avoided by specific, goal-ori-
ented controls at short intervals on site.
5.1 Services
Support on commissioning
On request, Kistler offers support on commissioning to help
customers with a faster integration of the measuring equip-
ment. Please contact your preferred Kistler Sales Responsi-
ble or the Kistler Office near you.
Recalibration
Even though there is no physical wear that leads to bad sig-
nal quality, regulations in customer’s field of application may
dictate a periodic calibration of measuring components.
Kistler offers Recalibration Service for amplifiers. Please
contact your preferred Kistler Sales Responsible or the Kis-
tler Office near you.
If you need additional help beyond what can be found ei-

ther online or in this manual, please contact Kistler's exten-
sive support organization.
5.2 Drift
It is recommended to have the charge amplifier powered

on for at least 30min before performing measurements, as
the amplifier will need to heat up to a stable working tem-
perature to ensure the specified drift rates. After storage on
extreme temperatures, this startup time may be longer.

The gradual zero point shifting of the output signal during
a measuring cycle is called drift. The maximum drift is spec-
ified as ±0,05 pC/s at 25 °C (see section technical data).
Any values significantly higher than specified can be due to
one of the following causes:
Page 40 5074B_002-942e-09.20
Maintenance and diagnostics
Cause 1
The output signal drops exponentially towards zero. It is
caused by the insulation resistance in the charge amplifier
feedback being too low. In turn this is due to poor feedback
capacitor insulation resistance. Please make sure, that the
internal time constant functionality is not activated, since
this would result in such behavior. To rectify the defect,
return the charge amplifier to the responsible Kistler sales
center/distributor for repair.
Cause 2
The signal at the output drifts linearly in the positive or neg-
ative direction. This may be caused by a faulty input op-
erational amplifier. To rectify the defect, return the charge
amplifier to the responsible Kistler sales center/distributor
for repair.
Cause 3
Depending on the polarity of the offset voltage on the am-
plifier input, the drift can be in the positive or negative di-
rection. It is caused by the insulation resistance at the input
of the charge amplifier being too low. It may, however, also
be due to insufficient sensor insulation resistance. The insu-
lation of the sensor cable and the sensor (but not the input
5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 41
resistance of the charge amplifier) can be measured with

a Type 5493 insulation tester. Dirty amplifier input, sensor
and cable connectors and sockets must be cleaned or re-
placed. The zero of the charge amplifier input stage can be
recalibrated if the problem persists. Send the amplifier to
the responsible Kistler sales center/distributor to have this
carried out.
Cause 3 is readily diagnosed by removing the sensor and

sensor cable and connecting a charge calibrator for testing.

Glossary
7. Glossary
Best straight line see Annex 8.2.
Cable capacitance The cable capacitance, and thus the length of the connecting
cable, has no noteworthy influence on the measuring result
when Kistler special cables and Kistler charge amplifiers are
used.
Calibrated range Measuring range or part of the measuring range for which
the sensor has been calibrated.
Note: Because of the high linearity of quartz crystal sen-
sors, the sensitivity of a measuring range can usually also
be used for smaller measuring ranges.
Calibration certificate Document for sensors and devices stating the results of the
factory calibration.
Charge amplifier Part of a measuring chain which converts the charge signal
from the sensor into a proportional voltage signal or cur-
rent signal.
Note: The linearity of charge amplifiers is typically within
the range of ±0,01 % of the measuring range selected. For
the accuracy of the measurement, this is usually negligible
compared with other influence quantities.
Charge signal Physical quantity which a piezoelectric sensor yields on its

mechanical load.
Coulomb Unit of electric charge.

1 coulomb corresponds to 1 Ampere-second (1 C = 1 As).
Crosstalk Signal at the output of a sensor, produced by a measurand

acting on the sensor, which is different from the measurand
assigned to this output. For example, when a load in the Fy
direction produces an Fz signal in a three-component sensor.
In terms of electrical devices, it is a measure for the signal
impact acting from a channel to the neighbouring ones.
Degree of protection Protection of electrical equipment by suitable enclosures,

covers etc. according to EN60529. The protection class
is stated by IP (International Protection) followed by two
digits. The first digit stands for protection against touching
and the ingress of solid bodies, the second for the degree
of protection against the ingress of water.
Example: IP65 indicates a complete protection against
touching, as well as against the ingress of dust and spray
water from all directions.
Disturbance Quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the re-
sult of the measurement. The contributions are expressed
in terms of the measurand related to the acting quantity.
5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 47
Examples:
additional bending moment acts on a force sensor:
Mx,y  Fz
additional axial force acts on a torque sensor: Fz  Mz
additional shear force acts on a force/torque sensor:
Fx,y  Fz and Fx,y  Mz
Drift Unwanted changes in the output signal independent of the

measurand as a function of time.
Frequency range see Annex 8.3.
FSO Full Scale Output. Range of measurement signal of a sen-

sor, corresponding to the full scale of the measurand. It is
the algebraic difference of the upper and lower limit of the
measurement signal range.
Example: A pressure sensor having the measuring range
from 0 bar to 2 bar and the corresponding range of mea-
surement signal from –5 … +5 V presents the FSO: 10 V. An
electrical monitoring system having an input range from 0
… 10 V and the corresponding output range from 4 … 20
mA shows the FSO: 16 mA
Ground insulation High electrical resistance of a sensor between signal line and
ground, or of a charge amplifier between connector screen
and ground.
Hysteresis see Annex 8.2.
Insulation resistance Electric resistance of a sensor, cable or the input of a charge

amplifier measured between the signal line and the connec-
tion ground (sensor body), while the test voltage is stated
accordingly. The insulation resistance applies for piezoelec-
tric sensor, strain gauge sensors and semi-conductor sensors
Linearity see Annex 8.2.
Measurand Physical quantity, state or characteristic which is measured,

e.g. force, torque, pressure etc.
Measuring chain Interconnection of several individual components to meet

measuring requirements. Measuring chains usually consist
of sensors and amplifiers in conjunction with data acquisi-
tion, display, evaluation and recording equipment (e.g. PC,
printer).
Measuring range, charge amplifier Charge, voltage or current range of the signal input. Entry
in units of the measurand is also possible depending on the
type of charge amplifier.
Measuring range, sensor Range in which the quality of the measurement within the
stated tolerances is guaranteed. This range must be regard-
ed as a binding maximum range.
Page 48 5074B_002-942e-09.20
Glossary
Natural frequency Frequency of free (not forced) oscillations of the entire sen-
sor. In practice the (usually lower) natural frequency of the
entire mounting structure governs the frequency behaviour.
Operating temperature range Range of ambient temperatures in which the sensor is to

be operated. The temperature-dependent tolerances stated
apply only within this range.
Output signal see "Charge signal"
Overload Maximum value of the measurand with which a sensor

can be loaded without sustaining damage. This refers to a
safety margin and is not an extended measuring range. The
characteristics specified in the calibration certificate are no
longer guaranteed in the event of an overload. Neverthe-
less, measurements made during an overload in most cases
provide useful results
pC (picocoulomb) 1 picocoulomb = 1E-12 coulomb. See "Coulomb".
piezoelectric Characteristic of crystals (e.g. quartz) in which mechanical

loading produces a proportional electrical charge
Pretension Continuous force loading of a measuring element resulting

from the application of tension sleeves or tension bolts so
that an applied force (force or pressure sensors) is acting on
the measuring element as well as on the tension element
(force shunt).
Preload Loading of a calibration object prior to the calibration cycles

for realization of a well-defined load at the beginning and
end of the calibration cycles.
Prestress Repeated loading (1 … 3 times) of a calibration object pri-

or to the calibration cycles applied for eliminating stresses
within the object and/or for ensuring a rigid force applica-
tion.
quasistatic Describes the ability of Kistler sensors and charge amplifiers

to undertake short-term measurements or DC-similar mea-
surements.
Range see "Measuring range"
Scaling Output value per unit of the measurand of a charge amplifier.
Sensitivity Nominal value or calibrated value stated in the calibration

certificate of the change in the response of a sensor divid-
ed by the corresponding change in the value of the mea-
surand.
Note: sensitivity of piezoresistive and strain gauge sensors is
additionally dependent on the excitation current or voltage.
5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 49
Sensor System which produces a definite change in the output signal

as a function of the change of the measurand acting on it.
Note: The term "Sensor" is equivalent to "Transducer"
Temperature influence see Annex 8.4.
Threshold Largest change in the measurand that produces a measur-

able change in the sensor output, while the change of the
measurand takes place slowly and monotonically.
Note: In practice, the rule of thumb applies that the thresh-
old is about two to three times as large as the typical noise
signal of a charge amplifier. This value can, however, only
be achieved in dynamic measurements, whereas with qua-
si-static measurements, drift and environmental influences
are limiting factors
Time constant The time constant describes the behaviour of a high-pass

filter and represents the time after which the signal is re-
duced to 1/e of the output value.
Note: The time constant enables the measuring error to be
estimated in relation to the measuring duration. You will find
detailed information on time constants and sensitivity ranges
in the operating instructions for your charge amplifier.
Example: The time constant depends on the measuring range
selected on the charge amplifier. Possible values vary from ap-
prox. 0,01 s in the most sensitive range to approx. 100 000 s
in the least sensitive range. The largest possible time constant
must be selected for quasi-static measurements.
7.1 Measurement Uncertainty

Systematic errors, accuracy
Accuracy is the extent of the conformity between a mea-
sured value and a true value of the measurand. In a piezo-
electric measuring chain it is determined by many systematic
errors, such as
Sensor linearity
Sensor hysteresis
Crosstalk from other measurands
Charge amplifier linearity
Disturbance (forces, moments)
Disturbance (environmental influences, like temperature)
Duration of the measurement
etc.
Experience with a measuring chain consisting of sensor,

cable and charge amplifier shows that an accuracy in the
range of 1 ... 2 % of the measuring range is achieved. This
value does not include errors due to influences from exter-
nal sources acting on the measuring chain, due to mechan-
ical adaptation of the sensor and environmental influences.
Page 50 5074B_002-942e-09.20
Glossary
For the highest accuracy requirements, we recommend cali-

bration of measuring ranges specific to the application.
Measurement uncertainty of charge amplifiers

When random and systematic errors together are quanti-
fied as variance, measurement uncertainty can be derived.
With charge amplifiers, this mainly depends on type. The
following typical values apply:
Laboratory charge amplifier ±0,2 ... 0,5 % FSO

Industrial charge amplifier ±1 % FSO
Higher accuracy can be achieved with the following proce-

dures:
Calibration in the Kistler factory
Calibration with charge amplifier Type 5395A
Restriction of the temperature range
Random errors, precision, reproducibility

Precision or reproducibility is the extent of conformity
between independent data measured under specified con-
ditions.
Repeatability
Repeatability is understood as "serial precision" for exam-
ple conformity between several measurements in sequence
under largely unchanged conditions.
This requirement is found mainly in repetitive measure-
ments in production processes, where good repeatability is
usually sufficient for process monitoring. Accuracy primarily
plays only a subordinate role, when measurements can be
directly related to conforming/nonconforming parts.
For good repeatability, piezoelectric measuring technology
offers the particular advantage that the charge can be dis-
charged with <Reset> before every measurement, enabling
the zero point to be re-determined. Errors due to zero drift
caused by influences changing with time, such as the tem-
perature, are thus basically excluded.
With Kistler piezoelectric measuring chains, a typical repeat-
ability within 0,1 % FSO can be assumed.
7.2 Linearity
Sensor linearity
The quartz crystal produces an electric charge, which is ex-
actly proportional to the load. However, certain unavoid-
able deviations occur due to the mechanical construction
of the sensor. Linearity represents the maximum deviation
between ideal and actual output signal characteristics in re-
lation to the measurand in a specific measuring range. It is
expressed in percentage of the particular measuring range
limit and is defined according to ANSI/ISA-S37.1 as the
5074B_002-942e-09.20 Page 51
closeness of the calibration curve to a "best straight line"

passing through the zero point:
"Best Straight Line“ – A line midway between the two par-

allel straight lines closest together and enclosing all Output
vs. Measurand values on a Calibration Curve.
The best straight line can be determined as follows:
Best straight line – geometric definition

A line midway the two parallel straight lines closest togeth-
er and enclosing all output versus measurand values on a
calibration curve. In addition, it must pass through the zero
point based on the assumption that zero measurand results
in zero output signal.
Note: The slope of this center line corresponds to the sensi-
tivity of the sensor. Half the distance between the two par-
allels (measured in the ordinate direction) is the linearity
Best straight line – mathematical definition

The minimization of maximum deviation is known as Che-
byshev’s approximation. The best straight line is determined
as follows:
x = measurand (reference)
Q = sensor charge signal or output signal from the
charge amplifier
Q (x) = calibration curve, rising and falling
s = slope of the best straight lines
Best straight line: yi = s xi (with starting value for slope s)
Form residues: resi = Qi - yi
∑res = resmax + resmin sum min. + max. deviation
Recursive minimization of ∑res = f (s) by changing s until
∑res = 0
Linearity a = resmax = |resmin|
Fig. 1: Best straight line, linearity and hysteresis
Page 52 5074B_002-942e-09.20
Glossary
Hysteresis
The maximum difference in output, at any measurand value
within the specified range, when the value is approached
first increasing and then decreasing measurand (source:
ANSI/ISA-S37.1).
Note: The quartz crystal itself has a scarcely measurable hys-
teresis. However, the mechanical construction of the sensor
can result in slight hysteresis. If the hysteresis is above the
specified values (in %FSO), then the sensor is faulty or has
not been correctly installed.
Charge amplifier linearity

The linearity of charge amplifiers is typically within the
range of ±0,05 % of the measuring range selected. For the
accuracy of the measurement, this is usually negligible com-
pared with other influences.
7.3 Frequency Range

Because of their mechanical quality, piezoelectric sensors
have very low damping. The useful frequency range is lim-
ited in the upwards direction by the increasing resonance
rise.
Key: f = Measuring frequency

In their dynamic behavior, piezoelectric sensors are superior
to all other measuring methods. Their high rigidity results in
the highest possible natural frequencies. Piezoelectric sen-
sors are thus ideal for measuring measurands which change
rapidly over time. Their dynamic behavior is thereby largely
determined by the surrounding structure. Therefore the fre-
quency response of the entire measuring arrangement must
be investigated for the largest possible, useful measuring
range.
There are two possibilities here:
Frequency analysis
The measuring arrangement is stimulated e.g. with an im-
pulse hammer and the sensor output signals then subjected
to a frequency analysis. The results is presented in terms of
an amplitude and phase response curve
FEM
Finite Element Method: Finite Element Method (FEM) is a
numerical procedure for the approximate solution of dif-
ferential equations having boundary conditions. Using the
FE-Method, various problems from physical areas can be
calculated. A computing field obtains an arbitrary number
of elements, however, being finite in size and number.
Note: In the finite element method, a homogeneous body
is substituted for the sensor closely approximating to the
dimensions and average density of the sensor. The average
modulus of elasticity of this equivalent body is then contin-
uously varied until its natural frequency coincides with that
of the actual sensor (technical data). An equivalent body
defined in this way is usually a good approximation of the
sensor. The equivalent substitute body is inserted into the
structure to be simulated, and by this means the natural fre-
quency of the structure is calculated. Using this procedure,
the FEM can be used to determine the frequency behaviour
of a measuring arrangement with good approximation

Glossary
7.4 Influence of Temperature

Temperature changes during a measurement result in an er-
ror signal in the form of a zero drift. In critical applications,
we recommend that protection be provided for the sensor
as far as possible against changes in temperature.
Temperature error of the zero point (static error)

Temperature error [unit of the measurand/°C] is the great-
est change to the output signal in a specified measuring
range after a specific sensor temperature change, follow-
ing which the sensor is again in thermal equilibrium with
its environment. Temperature errors are caused by changes
in stress in the sensor, which in turn are influenced by the
preload or installation conditions.
Temperature gradient error (dynamic error)

A temporary change in the output signal is denoted as tem-
perature gradient error, when the temperature of the en-
vironment or surrounding medium changes with a certain
rate. In this case, the sensor is not in thermal equilibrium
with the environment.
The temperature gradient error is primarily determined by
the installation conditions and the application, and cannot
be generally specified. However, the temperature gradient
error can be significant, particularly in the case of sensitive
measurements and small measured values. It is therefore
extremely important to keep the sensor temperature con-
stant during the actual measuring time.

Temperature coefficient of sensitivity

Change in the sensitivity, i.e. the slope of the best straight
line, as a function of temperature. The temperature distri-
bution in the sensor is assumed to be homogeneous, and in
thermal equilibrium with the environment. The temperature
coefficient of the sensitivity is typically only approx. 0,02
%/°C, and is thus mostly negligible compared with other
influences.
