Frequency Converter with Direction and Synchronization Monitor
KFU8-UFT-2.D.FA
Features
• 2-channel signal conditioner
• Universal usage at different power supplies
• Dry contact or NAMUR inputs
• Input frequency 1 mHz ... 1 kHz
• Current output 0/4 mA ... 20 mA
• Relay contact and transistor output
• Start-up override

Function
This signal conditioner analyzes 2 digital signals (NAMUR
sensor/mechanical contact) and functions as a rotation
direction indicator, slip monitor, frequency monitor or
synchronization monitor.
Each proximity sensor or switch controls a passive transistor
output. The 2 relay outputs indicate if the input signal is above
or below the trip value or the rotational direction.
The analog output can be programmed to be proportional to
the input frequency or slip differential.
The unit is easily programmed by the use of a keypad located
on the front of the unit or with the PACTware™ configuration
software.
Line fault detection of the field current is indicated by a red
LED.

Function
The device processes two input frequencies up to a max. of 1 kHz. The following functions are provided by the device:
• Frequency measurement with freely adjustable trip value monitoring for high and low alarm as well as for frequency-currentconversion (0/4 mA ... 20 mA)
• Slip monitoring: The slip is calculated from the two input frequencies at channel I and II. If the freely parameterisable trip value
is exceeded, the respective output switches.
• Rotation direction signalling: The rotation direction is evaluated from the two input signals with the same frequency and a
phase shift of 90°. The corresponding outputs switch according to the direction of rotation.
• The frequency monitoring can be used in combination with rotation direction signalling or slip monitoring.
• Synchronisation monitor: The synchronisation monitor compares the pulse counts of the two inputs. If the measured
difference in the pulses is greater than the programmed value the corresponding outputs are switching.
The two electronic outputs serve to repeat the input signals.
