2. System overview 2.1 System description SpeedSys ODS is a compact, yet versatile overspeed protection system. It forms the last line of defence as an isolated layer of protection against dangerous overspeed situations for heavy and/or (semi-)critical machinery with high speed, mass and/or accumulated energy.
2.3 Application SpeedSys ODS is a one-channel transmitter and is designed to be compatible with the most commonly used rotational speed probes; Hall-effect, electromagnetic (VR/MPU) and 2-wire dynamic current eddy current (proximity). The input circuitry is galvanically isolated allowing for advanced sensor monitoring and negating the necessity for additional external isolators.
3. Mounting and installation 3.1 Module details The front label contains basic information about the connectors, wiring connections and module status. On the top of the module there are three connectors for the signals coming from the respective sensor type. The bottom has four connectors for the output signals: relays, analog and frequency outputs.

(ESD) according to EN 61340-5-1 and EN 61340-5-2. Observe the minimum clearances to allow for sufficient cooling. If the SpeedSys 200 or 300 is connected to circuits entering explosive areas, the general installation regulations for explosion protection EN 60079-14 and the applicable safety directives must be observed.

The electrical connections are established via screw terminals. Use a matching screwdriver to loosen and tighten the screws before and after inserting the wire into the clamp. The screw terminals’ specifications are: Wire clamping range: 0.13 mm² to 3.31 mm² ...
3.3 Connection diagram The fi gure below shows the electrical interfaces for the product. The sensor inputs are short circuit proof. The ATEX/IECEx certifi ed sensor input circuits are protected against overload and overvoltage. Supplying high voltages to the input circuits can blow the overvoltage fuse leading to an inactive unit.
WARNING: The use of an electromagnetic sensor (2-wire voltage sensor) requires a bridge to be set between the clamp contacts B03 and B04 (see connection diagram). In case the 2-wire voltage sensor is not used, the bridge must be removed, to ensure full functionality of the device. 3.4 Power supply SpeedSys ODS is certifi ed as a Separated Extra Low Voltage (SELV) system and requires a power supply that complies with this specifi cation.
internal galvanic isolators. Because of the integrated design of the isolators, SpeedSys ODS can keep ‘sight’ of sensors and feature advanced sensor monitoring like open circuit, close circuit, and voltage and/or current range monitoring. Additional barriers or isolators are therefore not required and in some cases would make it impossible to properly monitor the sensor health.

intrinsically safe earth at the device side. If disturbances occur and inductive interferences need to be reduced, both ends of the shield might be connected to intrinsically safe earth (observe the general installation regulations for explosion protection EN 60079-14, if installed in explosive areas). In case of the 2-wire voltage sensor (electromagnetic sensor), SpeedSys ODS requires an installation in a controlled electromagnetic environment and the grounding of the sensor cable shield must be connected at the device side.

See PSU and Shielding connection section for the connection cable shielding to ground (IE, IS). PSU and shielding connection diagram *) A zoned area can be regarded as an ESD controlled area and the shield can be single ended connected. In case the installation is in an ESD uncontrolled area the magnetic pick-up sensor cable must be connected to IE on both ends.
3.7 Creating voting structures To obtain extra safety and/or availability for rotating machinery it is possible to create several hardwired voting structures with SpeedSys ODS. Hardwiring the voting structures avoids the introduction of interposing relays or tailing PLCs, which would inevitably add failure modes to the whole chain, negatively affecting the calculations for the SIL level and therefore the overall reliability.
Page 28
1oo2 To obtain extra safety, two relays can be connected 1oo2 in series to form a 1oo2 voting structure where the loop is interrupted, and the signal drops from high to low, if one of the two relays switches. A graphical representation for a connection with two terminals of safety relay 1 is shown below.
Page 29
2oo2 To obtain extra availability, two relays can be 2oo2 connected in parallel to form a 2oo2 voting structure where the loop is interrupted, and the signal drops from high to low, if both relays switch. A graphical representation for a connection with two pins of safety relay 1 is shown below.
Page 30
2oo3 To obtain extra safety and extra availability, three relays 2oo3 can be connected to form a 2oo3 voting structure where the loop is interrupted, and the signal drops from high to low, if any combination of two relays switch. The DPST relays allow for a hardwired voting structure as shown in the figure below where a signal (high to low) is given when two out of three relays switch.

3.11 Safety Instructions: Explosion protection SpeedSys ODS has the following explosion protection marking referring only to its sensor input circuitry: Ex II (1) G [Ex ia Ga] IIC Ex II (1) D [Ex ia Da] IIIC Category (1) G equipment: As a certified category (1) G equipment, the device may only be mounted in the ex- safe (non-hazardous) area.
Page 34
HAZARD: As an associated apparatus, the SpeedSys ODS must be mounted outside the explosive area. HAZARD: If the SpeedSys ODS is connected to circuits entering explosive areas, the general installation regulations for explosion protection EN 60079-14, the applicable safety directives, and the instructions of the operation manual must be observed.
