The 5600 is used in conjunction with a Magtrol Hysteresis
Dynamometer and Dynamometer
Controller to provide a highly visible indication of motor
status (running or stopped) and direction of rotation (clockwise
or counterclockwise). The built-in LEDs on the front panel
may be used as indicators or a 120 VAC lamp of up to 100 watts
may be plugged into any or all of the front panel receptacles.
To indicate direction of rotation, a circuit monitors the
torque signal (both negative and positive) and, at a pre-determined
torque level set by a sensitivity potentiometer located on
the rear panel, the circuit lights the appropriate LED (CW
or CCW). The encoder (speed) signal is monitored to detect
if the motor is in motion, which results in the "RUN" and
"STOP" indicators being activated.
If direction indication (CW/CCW) is desired only when the
motor is in motion, a back panel lockout jumper is provided
to disable the torque signal. |
