II. Core Functional Characteristics

1. Dual independent speed input, compatible with all types of probes

Integrates 2 completely independent isolated speed signal channels, supports magnetic-electric (MPU) sine wave, Hall / eddy current pulse wave signals, input voltage range 0–30V peak-to-peak (AC), threshold software adjustable, can adapt to weak signal low-speed (including zero speed) and strong signal high-speed probe, without additional signal conditioner, simplifies on-site wiring and debugging.

Electrical isolation between channels, single channel failure does not affect the operation of the other channel, supports dual-channel redundant measurement, key equipment can be configured with dual probes for mutual backup and verification, avoiding single-point failure leading to monitoring failure.

2. Ultra-high precision speed measurement, precise capture of minor fluctuations

Uses 24-bit high-precision frequency measurement circuit, speed measurement accuracy reaches ±0.05% full scale, resolution up to 0.01 rpm/min, frequency response range 0–20kHz, can accurately capture minor speed fluctuations of high-speed equipment (such as turbine warm-up, compressor surge precursors), providing reliable data for control and protection.

Built-in multi-level digital filtering and intelligent signal shaping, automatically filters out on-site electromagnetic interference, signal jitter and harmonic noise, outputs stable speed values; real-time monitoring of signal amplitude, frequency, waveform integrity, alarms immediately when abnormal, avoiding erroneous measurement.

3. Hardware-integrated overspeed protection, hierarchical safety protection

Built-in three-level overspeed protection thresholds (warning / alarm / trip), supports software configuration, protection logic independent of system control, hardware-level rapid response ≤ 10ms, eliminating communication delay caused by protection lag.

Supports dual-channel signal redundancy verification, real-time comparison of two speed data, when signal deviation exceeds threshold, automatically switch to normal channel, avoiding protection activation / deactivation due to single-channel failure; also integrates zero-speed detection function, can accurately identify equipment shutdown status, suitable for turning gear interlock, start-stop control scenarios.

4. Enhanced electrical isolation + industrial-level anti-interference, stable operation in harsh environments

The module adopts channel - system, channel - power supply, and channel-to-channel triple electrical isolation, isolation withstand voltage 2500VAC, effectively blocking ground loop current, high-frequency electromagnetic noise interference; built-in ESD static protection ±20kV, surge impact protection ±4kV, strong resistance to lightning strikes, instantaneous high voltage impact.

5. Full-link intelligent diagnosis + health monitoring, efficient and convenient operation and maintenance It features full-chain diagnosis at module level, channel level, probe level and signal level, real-time monitoring of power supply, communication, probe disconnection / short circuit, signal amplitude attenuation, over-range, over-speed protection status, etc., and precise fault location.

The panel is equipped with high-brightness LED indicators (power, communication, fault, channel status), with intuitive display of faults; at the same time, the fault code and details are uploaded to the Ovation system, supporting remote diagnosis; it can monitor the health status of the probe (such as the impedance of the magnetic-electric probe), providing early warnings for aging and supporting predictive maintenance.

6. Hot-swappable + seamless compatibility with the Ovation system, ensuring continuous production without downtime

Supports online hot-swapping, allowing module replacement without stopping the machine, automatic identification and synchronization after insertion, without affecting the operation of other modules in the rack; the output status can be customized (keep / reset), software parameters take effect immediately, suitable for continuous production conditions.
