Description

Function :

Electronic Speed Switch is designed to evaluate the speed of a rotating object based on the speed information picked up by the non-contact type Inductive Proximity Switch. Output switches ON or OFF depending upon the process speed as compared to the set trip speed. Startup / Initial Bypass Delay (IBPD) facility is provided to bypass the under speed condition during startup. This allows safe time for the equipment to reach normal speed.


  Non-contact sensing.
  Low speed & high speed detection.
  Linear dial markings for speed setting (Trip Point control).
  Input sensor selection facility: NPN or PNP or 2 Wire DC (NAMUR) type proximity switches can be used.
  On site speed range selection facility. (Selectable in 3 ranges).
  Adjustable built in bypass delay.
  2 C/O (2NO+2NC) relay contacts with site selectable Relay Logic.
  Monitor (Cast Aluminium for field mounting type) is dust and water tight to IP-65 grade. Thermoplastic, suitable for DIN rail mounting, for panel mounting model.
  Sensor is dust and water tight to IP-67 grade.

Optional Features

  Digital Indication Facility.
  Adjustable Trip Delay.
  Special Sensor for High Ambient Temperature application (upto 150°C).

Electronic Speed Switch is ideally suited to monitor any repetitive (i.e. rotational or translational) motion. It is best suited for the speed monitoring of material handling systems such as Belt Conveyors, Screw Conveyors, Bucket Elevators, Crushers, Drag Chains, Rotary Feeders etc.

Typical applications are:
To sense under speed or over speed conditions.
Detection of jamming in Feeders or Extractors.
Interlocking of conveyors.
Detection of chain link breakage in machines like Reclaimers, Drag Chain etc.
Motion detection.
Fan speed monitoring.
Missing bucket sensing in bucket elevators.
