The P16800 speed signal doubler is used to double the signals from speed sensors. It decouples signals from single or dual-channel speed sensors in a functionally safe and non-interacting manner in accordance with EN 50129 (SIL 4). The pulses are transmitted 1:1 from the input to the output, i.e., frequency and phase angle remain unchanged. The transmission of the rotary encoder signals is also functionally safe in accordance with EN 50129 (SIL 2), whereby the P16800 also galvanically isolates the signals.
Use of the P16800 simplifies the retrofitting of rolling stock with control systems that require speed information, or makes such retrofitting possible in the first place. In new vehicles, the number of speed sensors can also be reduced, which optimizes acquisition and maintenance costs.
