ifm efector Introduces Compact M18 and DIN-rail Mountable Speed Monitors
for Speed, Direction, Slip, and Synchronous Detection



ifm's line of speed monitors suit a variety of industrial automation applications

• The programmable M18 compact speed monitor is designed for rotational speed applications up to 18,000 pulses per minute.
• The unit offers a pulse output for monitoring revolutions per minute and a switching output that indicates under-speed and over-speed conditions.
• The 4-wire DC speed monitor provides a 12mm non-flush sensing range with a three-LED status display for power, switching and input pulses.
• Suitable for simple under-speed monitoring applications such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors, pumps, turbines, blockage on bucket elevators, exhaust fans, and blowers in ventilation systems.
• As over-speed monitors, they perform in applications such as wind power systems or load monitoring on hoists.

ifm efector’s line of DIN-rail mountable speed monitors evaluate pulse frequency, rotational speed, linear speed, and machine cycles.

• The speed monitor receives an external pulse train from a single position sensor for speed evaluation and features programmable setup, status LEDs, and a 7-segment display.
• Other DIN-rail units can be used in applications such as direction, slip, and synchronous detection.
• Slip and synchronous monitoring protects hoists from misalignment, and conveyor belts and slipping clutches from wear and destruction.
• Direction monitoring signals wrong direction of rotation, e.g. of twin pumps.
• An integrated frequency-to-current converter changes pulse sequences into analog signals, 0 /4...20 mA or 0...10 V.
• DIN-rail mountable speed monitors have an operating voltage of 100-240 AC/DC or 24 VDC.
• ifm speed monitors are cULus approved for the North American market.
