Core Technical Parameters

Main Product Features

3.1 Mature and Reliable Speed Measurement Performance

The 3500/50 (136703-01) adopts field-verified pulse sampling and frequency conversion algorithms, with stable and reliable measurement performance after long-term industrial operation verification. It supports full-range speed monitoring from complete equipment standstill to high-speed rotation, featuring accurate data output, low sampling error and no long-term data drift. The standardized circuit design effectively adapts to conventional industrial vibration and electromagnetic interference environments, ensuring continuous and stable speed monitoring for core rotating machinery.

3.2 Dual Independent Redundant Monitoring Channels

The module is equipped with two physically isolated and electrically independent monitoring channels, which can realize dual redundant speed signal acquisition for a single rotating device or synchronous speed monitoring of two independent equipment sets. Each channel has independent signal processing, parameter configuration and fault diagnosis logic. The dual-channel redundant design avoids monitoring failure caused by single-channel abnormality, significantly improving the overall reliability of the machinery overspeed protection loop.

3.3 Complete Multi-Dimensional Safety Protection Logic

This module integrates multiple core protection functions including adjustable overspeed alert, critical overspeed trip, zero-speed standstill interlock and acceleration/deceleration anomaly monitoring. It can quickly and accurately capture abnormal operating states such as equipment overspeed runaway, sudden speed drop and abnormal startup, and output standard hardwired trip signals to trigger system interlock shutdown. It effectively prevents major mechanical faults such as blade collision, bearing burnout and equipment overload damage, ensuring safe and stable operation of high-speed rotating equipment.

3.4 Full-Loop Real-Time Fault Self-Diagnosis

The 136703-01 revision supports full-link real-time self-diagnosis covering field sensors, signal wiring and internal hardware circuits. It can accurately identify common faults such as sensor disconnection, signal attenuation, pulse distortion and internal circuit failure, and generate standardized fault codes and operation logs. The diagnostic data can be uploaded to the upper monitoring system in real time, helping maintenance personnel quickly locate faults and eliminate hidden dangers, ensuring full availability of the speed protection system.

3.5 Stable Industrial Environmental Adaptability

Adopting industrial-grade components and standardized EMC anti-interference design, the 136703-01 module has excellent adaptability to conventional industrial scenarios. It can resist on-site electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibration and power fluctuation, maintaining stable signal acquisition and accurate data output in factory workshops and field equipment rooms. It supports 24/7 long-term uninterrupted operation and fully meets the continuous safety monitoring requirements of industrial production equipment.

3.6 Flexible Configuration and Low Operation & Maintenance Cost

All monitoring parameters, alarm thresholds and protection logic of the module can be remotely configured, calibrated and adjusted through the official 3500 system software. It supports real-time data display, historical trend recording and fault log query, facilitating daily equipment condition analysis and rapid troubleshooting. Adopting standard rack plug-and-play installation, the module is easy to install, replace and debug, effectively reducing system operation and maintenance costs.
