Acceleration precisely measured and safely monitored

The benefits at a glance: Less sensors – more safety Minimum size, maximum performance Extremely reliable and robust 67 protection thanks to encapsulated electronics Precise detection of acceleration at low frequencies of less than 0.5 Hz Compensation of temperature drift and installation errors Mechanical integration due to compact design Electric integration with Analog and CANopen Safety chain integration due to limit monitoring with relay output Simplified implementation of Machinery Directive due to SIL2/PLd certificate Precise acceleration for maximum control Configurable filters improve...

Less components, simple integration The PLd-certified acceleration sensor GAM900S is a 2 in 1 product. It replaces conventional sensors for monitoring of vibration and shock: Acceleration sensors for detection of two-dimensional tower vibration and mechanical limit switches with relay contact as part of the safety chain. At the same time, it reduces cable routing effort down to a minimum. Convenient connection to any conventional control system is possible by Analog or CANopen interface. Easy integration into the safety chain is enabled by redundant relay contacts. Certified components simplify...

GAM900 – maximum flexibility Permanent vibration monitoring is required in many fields of application: Anti-sway control at gantry cranes Side-sway monitoring at working platforms Vibration monitoring at giant machines and installations Swing detection at bucket excavators in the mining industry Nacelle torsion monitoring at wind turbines Configuration is a mere child’s play. The PC software GAM900 Configurator enables convenient configuration and diagnostics within few minutes. Predefined configuration files allow for easy and quick parameterization of several sensors. In such applications,...

GAM900S – maximum safety Vibrations are an everyday occurrence at machines and installations. Acceleration sensor GAM900S detects both vibration and shock to provide the machine control with the information via CANopen or Analog output. The safety relay output can be integrated in any safety system and will be activated as soon as the defined default limit is exceeded. Four factory-configured frequency bands with different filters enable perfect tuning to the requirements of the individual type of installation. In wind turbines, the acceleration sensor GAM900S is predestined for implementation...

GAM900S – safety with certificate Safety rated embedded software and 2-channel hardware with EC type examination Simplify the implementation of the Machinery Directive – GAM900S as “logic unit for safety functions”. According to Machinery Directive annex IV, logic units for safety functions must comply with increased requirements of the conformity assessment procedure, since in the event of failure their functionality might entail substantial hazards. Compliance to the requirements must be made either by full quality assurance according to annex X or by EC type-examination by a notified body...

Redundant relays, connected in series or in parallel Safety rated embedded software compliant to IEC 61508-3 Diverse redundant MEMS sensors Safe detection by diverse redundant sensors Safe processing by certified Safe monitoring by software compliant to redundant relays IEC 61508-3 GAM900S incorporates two precise MEMS sensors to reliably detect shock and vibration as prevailing for example at wind towers: Diverse redundant sensors to ensure systematic suitability and mandatory identification of common-cause failures.* Components from different manufacturers are used, with different designs and...
