Frequency Converter with Direction

and Synchronization Monitor

KFU8-UFT-2.D
< 2-channel signal conditioner
< Universal usage at different power supplies
< Dry contact or NAMUR inputs
< Input frequency 1 mHz ... 1 kHz
< Current output 0/4 mA ... 20 mA
< Relay contact and transistor output
< Start-up override
< Configurable by PACTware or keypad
< Line fault detection (LFD)

Function
This signal conditioner analyzes 2 digital signals (NAMUR sensor/mechanical contact) and functions as a rotation direction indicator, slip monitor,
frequency monitor or synchronization monitor.
Each proximity sensor or switch controls a passive transistor output. The 2 relay outputs indicate if the input signal is above or below the trip value
or the rotational direction.
The analog output can be programmed to be proportional to the input frequency or slip differential.
The unit is easily programmed by the use of a keypad located on the front of the unit or with the PACTware™ configuration software.
Line fault detection of the field current is indicated by a red LED.
For additional information, refer to the manual and www.pepperl-fuchs.com.

Application
The device processes 2 input frequencies up to a max. of 1 kHz. The following functions are provided by the device:
l Frequency measurement with freely adjustable trip value monitoring for high and low alarm as well as for frequency current conversion

(0/4 mA to 20 mA)
l Slip monitoring: The slip is calculated from the 2 input frequencies at channel I and II. If the freely parameterisable trip value is exceeded,

the respective output switches.

l Rotation direction signalling: The rotation direction is evaluated from the 2 input signals with the same frequency and a phase shift of 90°.

The corresponding outputs switch according to the direction of rotation.

l The frequency monitoring can be used in combination with rotation direction signalling or slip monitoring.

l Synchronisation monitor: The synchronisation monitor compares the pulse counts of the 2 inputs. If the measured difference in the pulses

is greater than the programmed value the corresponding outputs are switching.
The 2 electronic outputs serve to repeat the input signals.
