The NEPEAN Power Belt Slip and Speed Monitor is engineered to meet the stringent requirements for speed and slip measurement in conveyor systems. This device ensures accurate monitoring and detection of belt slip, speed variations, and potential operational issues, providing a safeguard for maintaining efficient and safe conveyor system operations.
Slip Monitoring
- Measures slip between a belt speed (input S1) and two other driven rollers (inputs S2 & S3), or the slip of one roller from its normal run speed
- Provides the maximum slip measurement (0-50%) on a 4-20mA output
- Provides a proximity sensor fault indication by closing the PROX fault relay output
- A fail-safe relay can provide a trip signal when slippage limits are exceeded
Speed Monitoring
- Measures and displays speed of up to three rollers (via proximity inputs)
- Provides the speed measurement (0-150% of normal run speed) on 4-20mA outputs (for remote monitoring)
- Provides a system healthy indication by closing the 80%-Relay after both start signal and 80% speed is detected
- Both under-speed and over-speed conditions can cause the fail-safe signal to trip
