ABSTRACT:
Two incremental shaft encoders are mounted on the two extreme ends of a mechanical drive train. The encoders generate data which is representative of the rotational speed of the drive train component proximate to where the encoder is mounted. The data from the encoders is communicated to a logic unit associated with operation of the drive train, such as a variable frequency motor drive (VFD). Software in the logic unit monitors and compares the speed of both encoders. An encoder resolution setting and a gear ratio are entered into the software parameters. If a difference in speeds (as monitored and indicated by the encoders) is greater than a preset value for a period longer than a preset time period, the logic unit displays an error message and a programmed action (such as motor shutdown and load braking) is executed.
