The V365 is a single-width, 6U height VME module designed specifically to acquire low frequency inputs from industrial speed sensors. The module can measure frequency and period over a wide dynamic range, and is specifically designed to ensure reliable measurement in high-noise industrial environments.
Differential signal inputs are signal conditioned, filtered and presented to the inputs of a custom gate array chip which manages period and frequency measurement.
The input signal conditioners can be connected directly to common transducer types, including variable reluctance or hall-effect magnetic speed pickups, AC line voltage or alternator windings up to 150 volts RMS, optical pickups, reed-switch or signal-conditioned fuel flow meters, contact closures, or other special levels.
Four independent programmable overspeed blocks are provided. Each may be aimed at any selected tachometer channel, and each is programmable to trip on static or latched overspeed or underspeed conditions. Control provisions include relay polarity and startup override, and provision is made for self-test of the overspeed facilities.
