Broken wire analysis (man-machine dialogue) the surface
introduction that:
- In the procedure window, center is the data wave form display
picture, a screen altogether displays 16 lines, and each line
altogether displays 512 sampling spots.
- Display window two sides numerals are both distance display: Left
is this wave form corresponding testing starting location; Right is
total this wave form corresponding testing displacement between the
starting and ending location.
- Two page numbers under the display window: One is the total page
number; the other is the current page number.
- There are several buttons in the middle of the two page numbers,
when the total page number is not more than 1, there are two
buttons, “Analyze automatic” and “Analyze artificial”, when the total page number is over 1, there will add one: “Next”. Click on “Analyze automatic”, the system will judge the red marked spot and calculate each
partial flaw result according parameter that select (for example
broken wire equivalent number or proportion of cross-sectional area
to total cross-sectional area); Click on “Analyze artificial”, the system will mark all suspicious wave signal points, the
points will be confirmed or removed by the experienced operator,
the system will write up report according to judgment result. The
two operations will only be aimed at the current page, must
reselect operating mode after the page turning. “Next” mainly is used in turning the page, will only be able to turn one
page to next page, the earlier pages will be not able to view
before judging ending. Dragging the roll to scan the earlier pages
will be allowed only after judging ending, but amending is not
allowed.
- There a row display below the buttons, left side is the route and
name of the file opened this time; the middle is the LMA0 value,
this value is the reference value of cross-sectional areas
automatically calculated by the system for this group of data, is
on basis of the first row average of this data wave form. In
calibrating process it just need to fill in cross-sectional area
parameter column, the system will evaluate processing analyzing
data the metallic cross-sectional area changing (for example
deterioration) according the LMA0 value.
- When use artificial analysis, a group of VPP value appears in right
and bottom, namely former crest to crest value and latter crest to
crest value of this wave form partial abnormity signal in the
location marked in red spot in display window. When use the
automatic analysis, this value will not appear.
Broken wire analysis procedure as follows:
- Select a group of parameter to suit this evaluation, if there is no
suitable one to be possible to add or amend, and confirm the
selection to use.
- Enter the procedure according to the above operating procedure, a
“Select data file” window will pop, and click on prepared analyzing
processing data file, open to enter the procedure item.

- The system will act according to the parameter logarithm which will
elect according to carry on the automatic scan, when the partial
flaw signal two crests values mean value will be bigger than first
threshold value, will carry on the sign note to this place, and
will give the sign note to this page all similar situations.
- Each point will be confirmed or removed by the experienced
operator, and the slack strand, jumping wire, deformation and other
flaws of the wire rope may be judged from the testing wave form.
Pay attention to isosceles triangle whose two crests values the
data difference is not big, and wave form crest is similar to acute
angle. The concrete flaw characteristic and the evaluation detailed
knowledge may be seen in the chapter 6, the flaws analysis and the
evaluation.
- When the operator has no different opinion on the marked red spots
in current page screen, and judge them broken wire, directly click
on "Analyze automatic" button. All the marked red spots in this page will be confirmed
for broken wire, the system will automatic calculate quantification
value in each place, and display the value list in the result
report. Click on "Next" button to turn page and operate again.
- When the operator has different opinion according to flaw signal on
part of the marked red spots in current page screen, must reject
the part, and will have to use artificial analysis evaluation
procedure. Directly click on "Analyze automatic" button to enter the artificial analysis procedure. All red spot
mark will be scanned one by one in the current page, when scanning
to some a spot, the mark color will turn black, and its VPP will
appear in right below, and a dialogue window will pop and inquire
whether this mark is broken wire. If judge it broken wire, click on
"Yes" in the window, and the marked spot will assume red; If it is not,
reject it, then click on "No", the marked spot will assume yellow. Also may use the fast key to
judge that, if confirm, press "Y" (or press the “Enter” key), if
deny, press "N". When need continuously confirmation or denying,
long press "Y" (press the “Enter” key) or "N" continuously
similarly judge.
- When the operator has different opinion according to flaw signal on
all the marked red spots in current page screen, all will give them
all denying, long press "N" key. When this group of data have the
multi- pages screen, may directly click on the next page to give
the full page denying and to enter the next page of screen, so all
the marked in this page will be denied, and no longer enter in the
judging result, but last the page cannot so, only be able to long
press "Y" or "N" according to the above method.
- After each page analysis ending, two buttons assume excessiveness.
- If the result report needs to be analyzed and evaluated this time,
must when the analysis evaluation ends, immediately enter report
column and click “broken wire report” item, open and view the result report.
- After assigning out data file, may continue to reselect data file
that need analysis.
7. Deterioration analysis
The deterioration analysis (Ctrl+L) is evaluation procedure to the
testing wire rope metallic cross-sectional area change (for example
deterioration), is an automatic evaluation function item for the
test data according to a datum value. Click on “Deterioration analysis” in operating column (or direct use fast key) to enter the
operation sequence (As Picture 13).

picture, a screen altogether displays 16 lines, and each line
altogether displays 512 sampling spots.
- Display window two sides numerals are both distance display: Left
is this wave form corresponding testing starting location; Right is
the increasing or decreasing percentage of this wave form
corresponding the metallic cross-sectional area datum value, namely
LMA change percentage.
- There are several buttons in the middle of the two page numbers,
when the total page number is not more than 1, there are two
buttons, “Print current page” and “Printing OK”, when the total page number is over 1, there will add two: “Back” and “Next”. “Print current page” is that, regarding the current page graph, click on "the printing
current page" button, regarding each current page in requirement,
may click on this button; “Enter” is the button to confirm to print the page in requirement. Each
A4 paper may print two screens, may print all the pages in waiting
in turns. When just one screen need to be printed, may click on “Print current page” first, and click on “Enter”, the current page will be printed immediately. “Back” and “Next” is the function buttons that used in turning page.
