Functional Features:
- TMR triple‑redundant signal acquisition and speed calculation circuit, single‑path failure does not affect speed‑monitoring function
- Support overspeed, underspeed and zero‑speed safety detection function
- Per‑channel pulse signal integrity diagnosis, detect sensor fault and cable breakage

- Front‑panel LED indicators for module running status, pulse input status and fault alarm
- Time‑stamped fault event upload to system fault historian
- Galvanic isolation between field sensor circuit and internal safety bus
Working Principle: Three independent internal channels receive the same pulse signal from speed sensor simultaneously. Each channel counts pulse frequency and calculates rotating speed value. Hardware voting circuit confirms valid speed measurement result. Module compares measured speed with configured safety threshold, and generates safety interlock signal when exceeding limit. Diagnostic circuit monitors pulse signal amplitude and continuity, judges sensor damage or cable breakage fault. Valid speed data and fault information transmit to safety processor via inter‑module bus.
Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:
- Housing: Die‑cast aluminum alloy anti‑electromagnetic‑interference shell
- Circuit board: Multi‑layer FR‑4 industrial PCB, built‑in pulse shaping and isolation circuit
- Connector: Gold‑plated backplane connector, field signal high‑density terminal block
- Front panel: Flame‑retardant engineering plastic with LED indicator array, IP20 protection grade
- Plug‑in card‑type rack‑slot structure
Installation Requirements:
- Install into I/O slot of Trusted rack, fasten front‑panel locking screws
- Speed sensor signal cables adopt shielded twisted‑pair cables, separate from power cables
- Cable shielding layer single‑end grounded at cabinet ground bar
- Cabinet has reliable protective ground connection, ground resistance ≤4 Ω
- Keep good ventilation heat‑dissipation inside cabinet
- Avoid installation location with strong electromagnetic interference near large‑power motor equipment
Application Scenarios:
- Compressor and turbine overspeed safety protection in petrochemical industry
- Rotating‑machinery zero‑speed interlock for power‑generation unit
- Pump and fan rotating‑equipment safety monitoring for chemical plant
- Offshore platform rotating‑machinery safety instrumented system
- Turbo‑machinery overspeed protection for LNG facilities
Usage Notes:
- Hot‑swap only under normal system health condition
- Do not disassemble module shell; internal components have no on‑site maintainable parts
- Field pulse signal wiring cannot mix with AC high‑voltage wiring
- After module replacement, verify speed measurement accuracy and overspeed trigger function
- Do not operate beyond rated temperature range
- Regularly inspect sensor cable insulation status
