A conventional motor in a crane has a taco generator to feed back the number of turns to a main controller. The taco generator is contacted to a motor shaft through the coupling. Errors in a crane have often occurred because the coupling has worn out while the motor is turning. In this paper, we design the device of the frequency to voltage transducer in a motor. The device is composed of a rotary encoder, a speed measurement using PIC16F84 controller, a display, and a direction-decision block. The rotation of a motor is recognized by the rotary encoder and microcontroller counts the number of turns of a motor. The emergency signal is generated if the frequency goes over or below the speed limit of a motor. And the device can acknowledge the rotation direction of the motor after 6。 rotation. The simulation results and the test for a implemented device have shown that the transducer of a frequency to a voltage can replace a taco generator in a crane.
