Current Loop output
Works with NPN or PNP prox sensors |
FEATURES | |
Three wire current loop (4-20 mA) output | |
10 - 5000 RPM range | |
Low cost speed measurement for PLCs and control systems | |
Works with PNP or NPN proximity sensors | |
Programmable set 4-20mA output for desired speed range | |
Reverse polarity protected | |
3.5mA output for Zero Speed condition (no pulses for over 10 seconds) |
THEORY OF OPERATION |
The
Speed Monitor requires a source of electronic pulses from a sensor. The
timing of the pulses is calculated by a microprocessor. The microprocessor
takes previously programmed information (such as the number of pulses per
revolution) and scales the output to drive a 4-20mA output signal. The
Speed Sentry allows the output to be programmed for a range that is
significant to the user. For example if a user is only interested in a
range of 100-500 RPM, the Speed Sentry can be scaled so that 4ma = 100RPM and 20mA
=500RPM
The Speed Sentry can be factory programmed or programmed by the user with the USB programming accessory and a Hyper terminal software utility like Windows Hyper Terminal or the free Real Terminal program. |

APPLICATIONS | ||
![]() |
The use of an NPN or PNP proximity sensor is a common way to measure rotational speed using gear teeth. | |
![]() |
A laser ranging sensor can be used to detect irregular surfaces such as a bevel gear teeth. | |
![]() |
A hose clamp can be used with a proximity sensor to produce pulses from shaft rotation. | |
![]() |
Many liquid flow sensors produce pulses proportional to the volume of fluid such that a flow rate can be calculated for process control. | |
![]() |
While the major use of the Speed Sentry is rotational (RPM) speed measurement, even a linear source of pulses can be used to provide a measurement system an indication of process speed and rate. | |
![]() |
Weather measurement devices such as an anemometer also often provide a pulse stream that is proportional to speed. |

Design considerations
The Speed Sentry is a low cost way to convert speed and rate information into an analog 4-20mA output for a PLC, process control meter, distributed control system (DCS), or other industrial control system. The Speed Sentry should not be used as the sole sensing element in critical equipment or safety applications.
