CS AM Safety Modules: advanced motor monitoring for enhanced control and protection
Sensorless speed monitoring, real-time monitoring of motor operating data, and parameterisation of the modules via software: these are the main new technological advancements of the CS AM series from Pizzato, which provide even more precise and secure control of electric motors.
With CS AM safety modules, the standstill monitoring is performed by measuring the residual voltage on the motor phases, while speed monitoring is carried out by measuring the frequency of the motor phases.
In applications with mechanical transmission (e.g., with belts or chains), a third measurement channel can be added by including a proximity sensor. This solution allows to detect faults on the kinematic chain like overload, rotor blockage and belt-breaking.
Three different types of CS AM safety modules are available:
- CS AM1: motor stop monitoring;
- CS AM2: motor speed and rotation direction monitoring;,
- CS AM3: combination of CS AM1 and CS AM2.
The three versions are available in two variants: permanently programmed or configurable, the latter equipped with a USB Type-C port for parameterisation of the device through CS AM Configurator, a dedicated software, developed in-house by Pizzato Elettrica.
