WinGD X92DF - Pick-Up for Speed Measurement

5.4.7 Pick-up for speed measurement
To measure the engine speed (rpm), proximity sensors are installed in a speed pick-up unit,
attached to the support near the flywheel.
For safety, there are three electrically isolated proximity sensor groups as follows:
•
Speed identification in the remote control system (RCS)
•
Overspeed safety system
•
Speed control system.
The proximity sensors measure the speed of the flywheel (003, Figure 5-31). When the flywheel
turns, the proximity sensors (002) sense the movement of the teeth. The engine control system
sends signals to the RCS to monitor the load and speed related functions. Data are also sent to
the speed indication instruments.
