ABSTRACT:
A remote parameter monitoring system utilizes a series of half-wave rectifier diodes in combination with a unique overlapping wiring arrangement to provide for location-specific detection of a parameter condition existing at a plurality of spaced locations. In one embodiment of the invention, the system is used for monitoring cracks in helicopter rotor blades and indicating to the crew in the cockpit both the fact of a cracked blade and the specific blade which is cracked. In such embodiment, the system includes a three-phase alternating current transformer whose primary windings are supplied by the helicopter's three-phase alternating current generators and whose secondary windings make up part of the wiring loops between the cockpit and the rotor blades. By controlling currents flowing in opposite directions in the wiring loops, the system allows for blade-specific crack detection of up to six rotor blades by means of only three wires between the rotor blade assembly and the cockpit area.
