E16521D.2

Single Channel Speed Monitor E16521D.2 for increased safety requirements up to SIL2

The BRAUN Single Channel Speed Monitor E16521D.2 for increased safety requirements is SIL2 / IEC 61508:2010 compliant. It monitors motors, pumps, feeders, gears, rollers, and small turbines. The device provides protection against overspeed at any required value of rotational speed, including standstill.
The specially designed signal input fits perfectly with Eddy-Current sensors (ECs).

With single-channel processing (1oo1), safety provision is solely determined by the device configuration. Therefore, the use of sensor monitoring with integrated plausibility control is essential. In such a case, no redundancy is provided. Should a fault be detected, the entire system will be shut down immediately.
With two-channel systems, there is a choice of implementation, dependent upon requirements. In principle, the two monitors operate in parallel yet independently. Alarm indication can be realized through the linkage of their Safety Outputs.

For 1oo2 processing, we have system redundancy with enhanced safety through comparative diagnosis. The fault detection of one monitor will shut down the system as a whole immediately. With 2oo2 processing, we still have system redundancy but with enhanced availability. Only the fault detection of both monitors will shut down the system as a whole.
The E16521D.2 Speed Monitor permanently monitors the speed sensor for its correct function. During its complete useful lifetime of 20 years, the Monitor does not require any external proof tests and is completely maintenance-free.
