Abstract
Systems and techniques to facilitate generating and/or encoding rotational data associated with a mechanical element are presented. A sensor system can measure rotational speed data and phase data associated with a mechanical element that rotates. The sensor system can also encode the rotational speed data and phase data into a digital data packet. Furthermore, the sensor system can transmit the digital data packet associated with the rotational speed data and phase data to one or more sensor devices in communication with the sensor system.
Claims20
A sensor system, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer executable components;
- a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:
- an analog measurement component that measures rotational speed data and phase data associated with a mechanical element that rotates;
- an encoder component that encodes the rotational speed data and phase data into a digital data packet;
- and
- a communication component that transmits the digital data packet associated with the rotational speed data and phase data to one or more sensor devices in communication with the sensor system.
A method, comprising:
- capturing, by a system comprising a processor, a set of rotational measurements associated with a rotating mechanical element;
- encoding, by the system, the set of rotational measurements into a digital data packet;
- and
- transmitting, by the system, the digital data packet associated with the set of rotational measurements to one or more sensor devices in communication with the system.
A computer readable storage device comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
- measuring rotational data associated with a rotating mechanical element;
- encoding the rotational data into a digital data packet;
- and
- transmitting the digital data packet that includes the rotational data to one or more sensor devices in communication with the system.
