The overspeed unit is programmed with the help of a PC-software. Connection for programming is made via a cable with USB to Mini USB connector. The relays may be connected to maximum 30 Vdc and 2 A. 1.2 About 800 series The 800 is an extreme robust encoder series which comes in various mechanical solutions, hollow shaft or solid shaft.
The programmable overspeed encoder gateway is compatible with 6 channels HTL or HCHTL encoders within the 500, 700 and 800 series (except for FSI 800) but is typically combined with an encoder with two separate outputs, one for feedback to the motor drive system, and the other connected to the gateway itself to control wether speed reaches the critical levels.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 2 Installing the software 2.1 Download and install the software System requirements: Windows Vista, XP, 7 or 8. Download the programmable overspeed PC-software from the website: www.leinelinde.com. Follow the instructions given to install the PC-software. To be able to identify the encoder on the PC-software an FTDI driver might need to be installed.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3 Functional description A description of each available feature in the overspeed unit is made in this chapter. The title of each section in the text below refers to a graphical element in the PC software. 3.1 Digital LED In the top left corner of the PC software a digital LED indicates the status of the overspeed unit.

Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com For using the device in programming mode (red LED) only, it is enough to power the unit via the USB connection. Note that in the programming mode the unit is not able to detect the current speed or operate the switches. A red LED may also indicate that a functional error is detected in the overspeed unit.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.2 Current speed The value in the top right corner indicates the current speed and direction of rotation of the shaft. This can be used as a help to test settings when configuring the unit. The shaft speed is expressed in revolutions per minute (rpm) and the direction of rotation as clockwise (CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW) seen from encoder shaft end.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.3 Relays The overspeed unit has four output relays R1-R4, each configurable with its own separate settings. By clicking Edit the switching speed can be manually programmed to switch state at a desired rotational speed and direc- tion of rotation.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.4 Current status The Current status column shows the current state, open or closed, for each of the four relays. The symbols will switch state when the relays do, and can therefore be used for verification of the settings.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.5 Function Relays R1-R4 can be configured with overspeed or underspeed function. The overspeed option means the relay will be closed at low speeds and open at high. It switches at rising speed and switches back when the speed is decreased to a level -10% below the switching speed. The underspeed option means the relay will be closed at high speeds and open at low.

Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com If the overspeed unit is not powered, the relays stay open, independently of the settings. Therefore, if the relays do not close when expected to, the power source is a possible fault cause.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.6 Switching speed In the Switching speed boxes, the desired switching levels are configured. Any integer between 0 and 6000 rpm can be set. When using the overspeed setting, the relay will open when the current speed rises above the se- lected level (>).

Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com If set to 0 rpm a standstill indication is created. The relay will be closed at 0 rpm and open at movement (if combined with the overspeed setting), or closed at movement and open at standstill 0 rpm (if combined with the underspeed setting).

Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.7 Direction The Direction option configures how the switching speed should be activated. With option CW/CCW switching speed is activated independently of the shaft rotation direction. With option CW it is activated only at clock- wise rotation, and with option CCW only at counter-clockwise rotation.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.8 Resolution When programming an encoder with integrated overspeed, the resolution is automatically shown in the resolu- tion field. When programming a gateway, the resolution of the encoder in use must be entered in this field.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.9 Edit, Save, Cancel The starting view of the program provides an overview of the active settings. To configure the settings click Edit to enter the programming mode.
Programmable Overspeed Monitor USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com After editing, click Save in order to activate the changes and exit the programming mode. Click Cancel to exit the programming mode without saving changes. In the bottom right corner, the date and time for when the file was last saved is shown, as well as by which user (the computer user login) it was saved.

The list is only showing ports where there supposedly is an encoder connected. Other ports are filtered away from the list. Averaging interval time may be set to avoid very short speed peaks.
