Locked Shaft Alarm DIN Module
IDC designed this unit for the customer, and provides it to them as a completed product. |
The use of this self-contained DIN module helps to keep production on-line by minimizing expensive down-time. |
This din rail mounted alarm module monitors the shaft rotation of an industrial machine and notifies down stream equipment of failure. |
This is a design example of an industrial device that monitors the main rotating shaft in a piece of manufacturing machinery.
It generates an alarm when the main shaft locks up. It also shuts the machine down, reducing the high cost of down-time and easing the hassle and expense of repairing broken tooling. The reaction time is settable, allowing it to be installed on and protect a wide variety of equipment.
A tri-color LED is used to inform the factory maintenance personnel about the status of the machine and the source of a failure.
