Rotational speed monitor is programmable
Programmable speed monitor that suits a variety of industrial automation applications is designed for rotational speed applications up to 18,000 pulses/min.
The compact speed monitor incorporates the sensor and the speed monitoring in one housing.
On the one hand the small, compact M18 housing allows mounting in small machines with only little space for sensors.
On the other hand it is perfectly suited for use with a PLC.
This ifm unit is the first allowing the user to set the parameters, switch point, start-up delay and output function.
When the Teach button is pressed, the current speed is measured, the switch point is calculated and stored.
In contrast to comparable speed monitors the start-up delay can be set individually.
It is adjustable in the range of 0-15s in steps of 1s, thus avoiding any error message during the start-up of the drive.
The output function can be selected to be normally closed or normally open.
The standard speed monitor is a three-wire unit with a nominal voltage range of 10-36V DC.
It can be used for operating temperatures of -20-60 deg C. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
