The Phares Model ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module is an interface between digital output sensors and control circuitry enabling over speed, under speed and zero speed measurement.
ZS11 Module + Sensor = Zero Speed Switch
The Phares Model ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module is particularly useful in applications where more than one relay is used at a single point of measure to determine varying speeds. The ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module contains three relay outputs which operate via a single sensor input signal. Each relay output is adjustable, providing three independent speed level settings in one module.
The ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module is useful in applications where environmental conditions, such as high temperature, prohibit the use of certain electronics. In these cases, the Sensor is installed in the prohibitive area and wired to the Phares ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module which is located out of the prohibitive area.
The ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module can be integrated with existing industrial control systems or used as a stand-alone unit. It is DIN rail mountable for easy installation.
Figure 1. Phares ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module Indicators and Terminal Block
A ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module has 5 diagnostic LED’s. These LED’s indicate Power, Pulses from Sensor input signal and Relay status. LED’s are labeled Power, Pulse, Relay 1, Relay 2, and Relay 3. There are 3 trim pots which are used for adjusting the Relay set points.
A ZS11 Zero Speed Switch System consists of the Phares ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module, Sensor and Sensor Target, all sold separately. The Sensor Target can be a bolt head, gear tooth, key stock, magnet, reflector, or other target depending upon type of Sensor used.
A Sensor Target is installed/located at the point of measure. Motion is detected when the rotating Target triggers the Sensor. When motion is either detected or reaches set point, the relay outputs change state. They remain in this state until either under speed or zero speed condition occurs, depending upon the application.
The ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module supplies 12 VDC to an external Sensor. The Sensor must be 2 or 3 wire, sourcing (PNP) or sinking (NPN) signal. Sensor input signal is configured via two position selector switch located at the top right of the terminal strip.
The ZS11 Zero Speed Switch Module uses frequency input from various types of sensors to determine the presence of motion or the lack thereof. Use the ZS11 for over speed, under speed, and zero speed applications.
The Phares ZS11 Zero Speed Switch System requires a Sensor and Sensor Target suitable for measuring speed. Sensor and Sensor Targets are sold separately.
Suitable targets are:
• Phares Targets
• Split Coupling
• Gear tooth wheel
• Bolt head or key stock with high ferrous (iron) content already on machine.
The ZS11 accepts a 2 or 3 wire sensor that produces a digital output square wave signal as the target moves past it. The sensor may be sourcing (PNP) or sinking (NPN). The ZS11 supplies 12 VDC to power the sensor.
Compatible sensor types may include Hall Effect, gear tooth, inductive, capacitive, photoelectric, and encoder sensors when equipped with the required ZS11-compatible output. Phares Sensors can provide Hall Effect Sensors and Gear Tooth Sensors for use with the ZS11.
Sensor selection depends on the sensor target, sensing distance, operating environment, and application requirements.
