Certified parts simplify the implementation of machine instructions
The GAM900S acceleration sensor simplifies the safety assessment of the device to implement machine instruction 2006/42/EG, based on SIL2/PLd certified limit monitoring.
The GAM900S is your ideal sensor for safety features such as "over-shock and tower vibration protection". There is no need to control the implementation of secure embedded software or application software due to the integration of limit monitoring functions including signal processing.
Accurate measurement of acceleration to achieve a high degree of control
The GAM900 and GAM900S acceleration sensors provide accurate acceleration information to the control system through CANopen or analog interfaces. In this way, the vibration is reduced before reaching a high amplitude. The selected capacitive MEMS sensor has high operating accuracy, especially in the case of small values, where the measurement error due to cross-axis sensitivity can be ignored. Therefore, the GAM900 and GAM900S are ideal for accurately capturing vibrations, such as those on a wind turbine tower.
Filters can be configured to improve accuracy and eliminate distortion
