When conveyor belt speed monitoring is important, consider the FDY PC Programmable Frequency-to-DC Converter. The FDY  monitors frequency, period, high or low pulse width, and contact closure signals and converts it to a linear and isolated 4-20mA signal.  The two-wire loop powered FDY has worldwide hazardous areas approvals and sets up in just a few minutes with easy to use PC programming software.
