Working Principle: Magnetic pick-up sensor generates pulse signals proportional to rotating speed. The module counts pulse intervals using high precision quartz timing circuit and calculates RPM value. Internal logic compares measured speed against three programmable setpoints. When speed exceeds trip threshold, safety relay contact changes state to trigger machine trip. Sensor fault detection monitors input signal integrity and triggers alarm for open or shorted sensor wiring. 4-20mA analog signal sends speed value to upper control system.

Installation Requirements:

  • Insert module into dedicated BRAUN E16 series rack chassis
  • Wear anti-static wristband during handling and replacement
  • Verify backplane connector cleanliness before insertion
  • Use shielded twisted pair cable for magnetic pick-up sensor wiring
  • Separate sensor signal cables from high voltage power cables
  • Implement reliable rack protective grounding

Usage Notes:

  • Program speed setpoints and hysteresis parameters before machinery commissioning
  • Perform function test of overspeed trip circuit during plant outage
  • Do not exceed rated input frequency range
  • Inspect gold-plated edge connectors for dust and corrosion periodically
