Tachometer/Overspeed Module Operates in High-Noise Environments
Description
The V365 is an 8-channel single-width 6U height VME module specifically designed to acquire low frequency inputs from industrial speed sensors. The V365 can measure frequency and period over a wide dynamic range, and is specifically designed to ensure reliable measurement in high-noise environments. The V365 provides eight tachometer input channels, each including a differential input amplifier and programmable signal conditioning. Four independent programmable over speed blocks are provided and may be aimed at any selected channel. Each is programmable to trip on static or latched over speed or under speed conditions. Control provisions include relay polarity and startup override, and provision is made for self-test of the over speed facilities. The V365 can be connected directly to common transducer types, including variable reluctance or hall-effect magnetic speed pickups, AC line voltage or alternator windings up to 150 volts RMS, optical pickups, reed-switch or signal-conditioned fuel flow meters, contact closures, or other special levels. Two SMB signal monitor connectors allow for the analog and digital signal levels of any selected channel to be monitored at any time. A third SMB connector allows for internally or externally generated self test signals for in crate testing
Specs
