3. Principle of Operation
3.1 General
The SWT-1000 is controlled by a microprocessor. It works according to the period measurement
principle whereby the input period is measured with subsequent computing of the reciprocal value
corresponding to the frequency or speed. The relationship between frequency and speed is
established with the Machine factor.
The current output and relay control are determined from the speed. The relay function is defined
via 2 selectable parameter sets. Each parameter set can access the 2 limit values, the alarm
definition, sensor monitoring and other process values. The 2 limits each have and upper and
lower set point (hysteresis setting). The selection of the valid parameter set is via the binary input.
The relay status may be held until reset via the binary input
The system continuously monitors itself. In addition, the sensor may be monitored. Dependent
upon the configuration, these conditions can influence the relay and current output.
The alarm status is indicated via the front panel LED.
The frequency output (open collector output) is not influenced by the machine factor and
corresponds to the input signal frequency.
The input of all parameters is via PC software and the RS232 interface. This may also be used to
interrogate the unit’s settings, measurement and general status.
Parameters are retained in an EEPROM.
