Question

Which parameter should be set in order to display the K3NR Digital Panel Indicator's rotation speed?

Answer



When you want to display the rotation speed on the K3NR, the rotation speed will be expressed as:
Rotation speed (rpm) = Input frequency f (Hz) × 60 × α.

α = Prescale value

When displaying rpm with 2 pulses/rotation, make the following settings from the setup menu.

When 2 pulses are output/revolution, α = 1/N = 1/2 = 0.5 = 5.0000 × 10-1 m:
