SYNCHROSCOPE

Synchroscope needle position, rotation direction, time-to-in-phase and the close window.

When to use it

Use SYNCHROSCOPE when an operator or an HMI needs the classic synchroscope picture of an incoming machine — where the needle stands, which way it is turning, how fast, and whether the dial is inside the closing window — from a measured slip and phase-angle difference.

Interface

Download SYNCHROSCOPE — free

Create a free Ri Tech account to download the block. You get the Structured Text body, the Rockwell Add-On Instruction (.L5X), the Schneider Control Expert DFB (.XDB), PLCopen XML, the IEC 61499 function block type (.fbt) and the datasheet.

Every block in the catalogue is free to download, in every format, with no purchase and no card. Browsing needs no account at all; downloading needs a signed-in one, so the block lands in your library and re-downloads whenever you need it.

Source is never published on this page. The implementation is released to a signed-in Ri Tech account — free of charge, but never anonymously.
