Hi all. I am somewhat familiar with electronics, meaning I know what most components do. but I am not an electronics engineer by any means. In fact I probably know just enough to be dangerous. so I am seeking more experienced help for this little project.
The application is a simple low speed mechanical machine that has an electrical motor with a VFD controlling rpm. The VFD has an external fault circuit (open/closed) to interrupt the motor operation when triggered. The machine uses a mechanical friction clutch that overrides in the event of a machine jam.
I would like help designing a simple circuit that will control a relay or similar to trip the fault circuit in the VFD should the machine jam and the sprocket stops turning. I have a Cherry GS1005 gear tooth speed sensor I bought hoping to figure this out myself. but alas. Its outside my capabilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
