How to test the actual speed value of the cooling fan
The speed of the cooling fan refers to the number of times the fan blade rotates per minute, and the unit is rpm; the general cooling fan standard is positive and negative two wires for the power supply. The cooling fan can be equipped with a three-wire FG speed measurement signal and a three-wire RD alarm signal according to the actual situation of the equipment And four-wire PWM speed control signal, but they all need to reconfigure the interface and will increase the cost of the standard two-wire cooling fan. Generally, customers use the cooling fan FG signal to detect the fan’s real-time speed more widely; then the interface does not change and reduces the cost In the case of using a standard two-wire cooling fan, how should we measure the real-time speed of the fan?
