AC Line Frequency |
 |
The Laureate will accept line voltages up to 250 Vac and display line frequency to 6-digit accuracy (50.0000 or 60.0000) in a few line cycles. Fast low frequency response is achieved by timing the period and taking its inverse. |
RPM and Speed |
 |
The Laureate can sense the low-level signals from magnetic pickups or the NPN or PNP transistor output of active sensors. These can be powered directly by the meter. Display in RPM or units of speed is achieved by mathematically scaling the meter. |
Flow Rate and Simultaneous Total |
 |
The Laureate is compatible with all flow meters which generate pulses at a frequency proportional to flow rate. The Extended version can display scaled rate or total for the same input at the push of a button, and alarm from both the rate and total. The Extended version can also linearize flow transducers so as to extend their dynamic range. |
Arithmetic Combinations of Two Channels |
 |
The Extended Laureate offers A+B, A-B and A/B arithmetic functions. A+B allows two input flows to be summed for total flow, while A-B allows outflow to be subtracted from inflow for net flow. Flow ratios aid in the proper mixing of ingredients |
Custom Curve Linearization |
 |
The Extended Laureate can linearize the output turbine flow meters, which tend to be nonlinear on the low end. Linearizing improves the dynamic range and accuracy of turbine flow meters. |
System-level Capabilities |
The Laureate dual channel rate meter can independently scale, display and alarm two pulse input channels. All signal or alarm data can further be transmitted via RS232 or RS485, including peak readings and arithmetic combinations of the two rates. The displayed rates can also be transmitted as an isolated 4-20 mA or 0-10V analog output. |
