Configure the CFM Module

Publication 1771Ć6.5.99 - December 1995

You can specify these values:

Value

BTW word #

Use to

Minimum Frequency Sampling Time

6, 16, 26, 36

specify the minimum time the CFM module will spend collecting

pulses to determine a frequency. The sample begins on the

leading edge of a pulse.

Sampling Termination

5, 15, 25, 35 (bit 13)

terminate the sampling on either a time base or a set number of

pulses, depending on which occurs first.

Bandwidth Limit

5, 15, 25, 35 (bit 14)

control the maximum time the CFM module spends calculating

a frequency and the minimum frequency that can be read by

the CFM module.

Acceleration Calculation Time

5, 15, 25, 35 (bits 00Ć09)

specify the number of frequency samples the CFM module will

spend to calculate the acceleration value. The default value (0)

will calculate a rolling average of the previous five samples.
Since the actual frequency sample time can vary, so does the

Acceleration Calculation Time.

Acceleration Alarm

9, 19, 29, 39

determine the acceleration value that, if exceeded, will activate

the BTR Acceleration Alarm (word 4 & 5, bits 00 & 08).

RANGE: 0Ć32,767

The CFM module will not calculate an acceleration if this

acceleration value is zero.

Number of Pulses to Terminate Sampling 7, 17, 27, 37

terminate the sampling when the specified number of input

pulses are received.

Highest Allowable Frequency

8, 18, 28, 38

specify the highest frequency value expected on the input

channel. When this value is exceeded, the input channel's

overspeed alarm will activate.
This value is also used in calculating Percent of Full Scale

(BTR word 6, 15, 24 or 33).

Frequency Scaler Multiplier/Divisor

10, 20, 30, 40

scale the returned frequency and acceleration to actual

engineering units.

Frequency Multiplier must be < Frequency Divisor.

For each value RANGE: 1Ć255 DEFAULT: 1
The scaled frequency/acceleration value can not be used to

trigger any outputs (outputs triggered by frequency/acceleration

are triggered by actual frequency/acceleration).

If you are setting this value for both channels (0 & 1 and 2 & 3), the Minimum Frequency Sampling Time for both cannot = 4ms

(one can = 4ms and the other can = 5ms, but both cannot = 4ms).
