Product Description
⚙️ Emerson 1C31181G04 Ovation Speed Detector Module
Real-time rotational speed monitoring for turbomachinery, compressors, and motor-driven equipment. The 1C31181G04 speed detector module converts magnetic pickup, proximity probe, or encoder signals into accurate RPM data for Emerson Ovation distributed control systems.
🎯 Precision Speed Measurement
This module processes pulse trains from speed sensors mounted on rotating shafts, gear teeth, or encoder wheels. Advanced signal conditioning filters mechanical noise and electrical interference, delivering clean frequency data that the DCS converts to engineering units—RPM, Hz, or rad/s—with ±0.01% accuracy.
🏭 Industrial Applications
- Turbine Monitoring: Steam and gas turbine overspeed protection in power generation plants
- Compressor Control: Anti-surge and capacity control for centrifugal compressors in petrochemical facilities
- Motor Protection: Detect bearing failures, coupling misalignment, and rotor imbalance before catastrophic damage
- Process Optimization: Variable-speed drive feedback for pumps, fans, and agitators in batch and continuous processes
