ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for detecting overstroke, understroke and/or overspeed, underspeed conditions in vibratory equipment includes a vibratory member mounted on the equipment to vibrate therewith and to operate solid-state switches over a large number of cycles. The preferred switches are Hall effect switches operable by a magnet carried by the vibratory member. During normal vibratory motion, a normal stroke Hall effect switch resets a timing means which will operate as a missing pulse detector and will generate an abnormal pulse if it is not reset during a predetermined period of time. If the amplitude is too large, the overstroke Hall effect switch is operated and causes an abnormal condition pulse. A control circuit means is operable by an abnormal pulse to generate an alarm and/or shut down the vibrating equipment. An initial start-up means operates for an initial predetermined time period to inhibit said control circuit from shutting down or alarming due to a transient vibratory condition during the start-up of the equipment.
