Tachometer Parameters
The Channel tab in the XM-220 Speed Module Configuration Tool allows you
to define the characteristics of the tachometers you will be using with your
XM-220 module and to determine the signal processing performed on
tachometer signal. There are two Channel tabs, one for each channel. Channel
1 of each XM-220 module serves as an overspeed channel of the XM EODS.
The Channel tab also allows you to configure the operating mode of the
XM-220. The XM-220 can operate in three different modes: dual channel,
single redundant channel, or reverse rotation. This controls how the two
tachometers are used to calculate the speed, acceleration, and peak
measurements.
To configure the tachometer parameters, follow these steps.
IMPORTANT
If the XM-220 is to be connected to a DeviceNet network
and the XM module is set up for Automatic Device
Replacement (ADR), you may want to disable the Device
>Auto Save Configuration command. For more
information about ADR and DeviceNet, refer to Appendix
B in the XM-220 Dual Channel Module User Guide.
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper functioning of the XM EODS, the Mode
parameter in each of the XM-220 modules must be set to
"Dual channel."
