DEUTA Digital Signal Converter DSC17 converts recorded speed signals (frequencies) into digital and analogue output signals, such as distance pulses, switching thresholds, signals for controlling the speed indicators and mileage recorders. A further area of application is the control of the wheel flange lubrication: For this application, distance interval and duration of lubrication pulses are configurable.
With the exception of setting the wheel diameter, the DSC17 is already configured at the factory. It is possible to enter wheel diameters between 300 and 2,000 mm. The operating program is located on the internal memory. It is possible for the manufacturer to update the firmware via the Ethernet interface. The process values are visualised via the Web interface of the DSC17.
Speed signals used can be either DEUTA AC generators (EF sensors) or digital DEUTA generators (DF pulse sensors). The power supply of the two-channel DF pulse generators is provided by the DSC17. These digital sensors can be used for direction of rotation detection. The frequency inputs are galvanically isolated and can be used alternatively for both sensor variants by using different connection terminals.
