During operation, the UDS1000 energizes its 5 Amp, DPDT relay when the monitored shaft is at rest or turning in the desired direction of rotation. The relay contacts can be used to enable the motor starter circuit, or provide a visual indication that the start up or process commencement is possible. When the monitored shaft turns in reverse (wrong direction) the relay de-energizes, thus preventing the motor or process from starting.
The UDS1000 works with a shaft-end mounted
Pulser Disc (or optional split-collar Pulser Wrap)
which generates an alternating magnetic field
that is picked up by the large gap non-contact
sensor. The sensor transmits this speed signal as
a quadrature digital pulse (frequency) to the switch
via a 4-conductor shielded cable. The UDS1000
decodes this frequency signal to determine shaft
direction. The relay output can then be used for
equipment shutdown, to prevent start-up, or to
provide an alarm, assuring machine protection and
process integrity. The UDS1000 is fail-safe; any
loss of power during operation will de-energize the
relay.
