Product Short Description

Technical Specifications

  • Input Channels:
    • Three independent speed-sensing inputs (A, B, C) with redundant power supplies.
    • Supports magnetic pickups (MPUs) with configurable gear tooth counts (20–120 teeth).
  • Speed Range: Adjustable from 250 rpm to 25,000 rpm.
  • Fault Setpoint: Programmable from 100 rpm to 25,000 rpm.
  • Fault Timeout: Adjustable from 1 second to 533 minutes and 20 seconds.
  • Power Supply: 120 Vac/dc (compatible with both alternating and direct current sources).
  • Output Signals:
    • Three relay outputs for trip signals (Form-C contacts).
    • One alarm relay output.

Description

  • Operating Temperature: -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C).
  • Storage Temperature: -4°F to +158°F (-20°C to +70°C).
  • Enclosure: IP65-rated for dust and water resistance.
  • Dimensions: 305 mm × 203 mm × 152 mm.
  • Weight: Approximately 15 kg.

Key Features

  • Triple-Modular Redundancy (TMR): Uses a “two-out-of-three” voting logic to minimize false trips. A fault is triggered only if two sensors agree on an anomaly.
  • Hot Swapping: Modules can be replaced or tested without shutting down the connected machinery, reducing downtime.
  • Programmable Parameters: Users can customize speed setpoints, fault thresholds, timeout durations, and MPU gear tooth counts via the local interface.
  • Self-Diagnostics: Continuously monitors sensor health and alerts operators to potential issues.
  • Data Logging: Records operational data and fault events for troubleshooting and performance analysis.
  • Communication Protocols: Supports Modbus RTU/TCP for integration with distributed control systems (DCS).

Functional Highlights

  • Overspeed Protection: Automatically trips the system if speed exceeds the predefined threshold, preventing catastrophic failures.
  • Vibration Monitoring: Compatible with vibration sensors to detect mechanical imbalances or misalignments.
  • Acceleration Monitoring: Tracks rate-of-change in speed to identify abnormal conditions early.
  • Local Display/Keyboard: Each module features a 4.2-inch LCD screen and keypad for real-time configuration and monitoring.
  • LED Indicators: Provides quick status checks for CPU health, I/O lock, alarms, and trips.

Application Scenarios

  • Power Generation: Protects gas and steam turbines in thermal power plants, hydroelectric stations, and cogeneration systems.
  • Oil & Gas: Safeguards compressor turbines in offshore platforms and pipeline stations.
  • Aerospace: Regulates engine speed in aircraft and helicopters for safe propulsion.
  • Industrial Automation: Monitors rotating equipment (e.g., pumps, fans) in chemical, metallurgical, and paper manufacturing plants.
  • Marine Propulsion: Ensures safe operation of shipboard turbines and engines.

Advantages

  • High Reliability: Redundant design and fault-tolerant logic ensure continuous operation even during single-component failures.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Hot-swappable modules and local configuration interfaces simplify updates and repairs.
  • Scalability: Adaptable to both small-scale engines and large industrial turbines through adjustable parameters.
  • Compliance: Meets international standards for safety (e.g., ATEX) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
