Interface Unit .

Description of Interface Unit:

The interface between the units and the user's computer is provided by the Interface Unit. This conditions the raw data from the sensors, digitises the data and transfers it to the computer using the USB interface. It also includes a sophisticated three-phase inverter for providing accurate motor-speed control, and a second motor-drive output, all under software control.

Specification of Interface Unit:

1. A computer interface accessory for use with all FM fluid machines
2. Connects for FM equipment sensors via a single multi-way connector
3. Three-phase mains output with variable frequency for accurate motor-speed control
4. Sensorless vector motor drive to measure torque
5. Automatic slip compensation to maintain constant speed
6. Secondary mains output, switched under software control
7. Interface driver enables linking to other software packages
8. Built-in watchdog cicuitry for remote operation
