Easy and reliable speed monitoring and standstill detection
Slim housing, easy setting and a wide operating voltage mark out the new speed detection units from ifm electronic as a convenient and cost-effective method of protecting plant equipment.
The new D200 series monitor units will take inputs from standard pickups, usually inductive sensors, and simply switch a relay contact if the detected speeds either drops below or exceeds the pre-set value.
One unit can accept an input rate up to 1000 Hz (another version takes up to 2 kHz) and allows the user to decide on both the switch point and the difference needed before the output resets (hysteresis). To prevent a trip before a machine has ramped up to operating speed, the user can also select a start-up delay up to 15 seconds. If this is not enough, an external ‘enable’ signal can override the delay. All the settings are by simple potentiometer adjustment.
The D200 series will operate on standard 110 / 230 V AC or 24V DC and supply power to the pickups. These can be three-wire or two-wire electronic sensors.
ifm is committed to working closely with its customers to develop products which precisely match their needs, and the company provides expert, readily accessible technical support to help users maximise the benefits they gain from ifm products.
