Proton setting new standards

(to a downstream cutter for example) with opto-isolated relays. Two pulse outputs are available, plus a freely programmable quadrature output with a pulse rate up to 100mHz. There are also laser safety inputs and shutter status outputs (30Vdc/100mA max) to opto-isolated relays for alarm purposes. Proton Products – UK Website : www.protonproducts.com

PROTON Products has set new standards for high-specification measurement performance. The company’s InteliSENS mini series non-contact laser Doppler speed and length sensors deliver high product performance, based on technical specifications, design, intelligence and process interfacing. Doppler non-contact speed and length sensor replaces contacting encoders that encounter slippage, wear and marking. This accurate speed and length measurement helps prevent product give-away or short-length delivery, which translates into financial benefits across a wide range of applications. The InteliSENS SL and SLR mini series provide both uni-directional and bi-directional speed measurement up to 5,000m/min, with the latter being able to measure from a standstill. With a measurement repeatability of ±0.02 per cent and an accuracy of better than ±0.05 per cent, it assures correct final product length delivery to the customer. product acceleration exceeds 1,000m/min, the InteliSENS mini’s measurement update rate of 200kHz makes it the fastest on the market, according to Proton, capable of delivering accurate, high-resolution measurement under rapidly changing process conditions. Standard protocols for the InteliSENS mini’s embedded communications library include RS232, Ethernet TCP/IP and CAN bus with Profinet, Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet /IP and Wi-Fi as options. This capability produces straightforward communications to instrumentation platforms with the ability to deliver large volumes of data for maintenance diagnostics, plus process analysis, reporting and archiving on plantwide information platforms. The InteliSENS mini series form factor is 140mmL x 105mmW and 50mmH, weighing just 1.1kg. A comprehensive range of integrated process interfaces are available for measurement and control purposes. Three programmable 24Vdc digital inputs are available for length, speed, direction and pause functions. Two programmable 30Vdc, 100mA (max) digital outputs can be configured for measurement and preset length outputs Proton’s intelligent laser In situations where the
