Notes for Configuration
Installing the measuring sensors
Cross faults between measuring sensors must be excluded by an appropriate cable installation.
Gear ratio or shaft break monitoring
For certain applications, it may be necessary to set a gear ratio. To this end, the following arrangement of proximity sensors or encoder is required:
It has to be taken into account that the rotational speed to be monitored on encoder or proximity sensor 1 (E1) must always larger than or equal to
the rotational speed to be monitored on proximity sensor 2 (E2). The set speed limits on the display for a set gear ratio always refer to the encoder or
proximity sensor 1 (E1).
In the case that the gear arranged between E1 and E2 has no integer gear ratio, a corresponding adjustment is possible by a modification of the reso-
lution settings for E1/E2 (pulses/rev. or mm).

This arrangement is also used to detect a shaft break. Taking the gear ratio into account, when the measured signals between sensor on the motor and
sensor on the shaft do not correspond, the device immediately switches to a safe failure condition.

The rotational speed limits (rpm) to be set refer to the rotational speed
on the encoder. Therefore, to monitor the cradle as shown, at first the
translational movement has to be converted in a corresponding rotational
movement. This is done as follows:

Gear ratio:
The rotational speed limits (rpm) to be set refer to the rotational speed
on the encoder. Therefore, to monitor the cradle as shown, at first the
translational movement has to be converted in a corresponding rotational
movement. The resolution of the proximity sensor E2 has to be calculated
too. This is done as follows:
