GENERAL OPERATION
The MD-256 is a digitizing speed sensor for use on belt scales. It connects to the shaft of a
pulley and measures the shaft's rotation by sending pulses to the Milltronics integrator.
This speed sensor features:
»
High resolution for accurate measurement
»
Small size
»
Light weight
»
Long bearing life
CIRCUIT
256 pulses are generated for each rotation of the MD-256 shaft. These pulses are typically
fed into a Milltronics belt scale integrator. The integrator interprets the pulses and uses
them in the calculation of belt speed, flow rate, and material totalization.
Integrators with which the MD-256 works are:
»
Compuscale
»
Compuscale II
»
Compuscale IIA
»
CompuScale-III
»
Compu-M
»
Accumass BW-100
