MOTOROLA MVME147S-1 Control System

MOTOROLA MVME147S-1 control system

Monitoring speed is crucial in any automation process. The speed of equipment powered by an electric motor can be affected by various factors, such as transmission component overloading, breakage, or overload. A speed monitoring device is useful in open loop control to give an alarm or “shutdown” of the motor. In closed-loop control, such as the District of Columbia drive or V/F drive, feedback (4-20MA or 0-10V) is necessary to take corrective action.

Zero Speed Switches, also known as speed drive sensors, are used to detect the stopping or unacceptably slow motion of a rotating shaft. They are commonly used in various machines, conveyors, power plants, and industries that produce cement, sugar, textiles, paper, and more.

MOTOROLA MVME147S-1 Operation Principle – A non-contact inductive sensor detects the speed and motion of a rotating or moving object by placing the sensor probe near the sensing surface. Metal parts of specific dimensions should be mounted on the rotating object as flags. As these flags pass over the detector’s surface, the front radiated electromagnetic field is dampened, generating corresponding output pulses.

The MOTOROLA MVME147S-1 operates digitally and its circuitry is designed to function effectively even in areas with high electrical interference. However, it is recommended that the interconnecting cable used should have a minimum gauge of 0.5 square millimetres to ensure optimal performance. Moreover, a visual indication of sensing flag is provided by the ALED located at the back of the detector. For sensors that are not of the inductive type, connect the generated pulses as specified by the individual sensor.
