Structural Features: The unit features a compact 35mm width. It includes connectors for high-speed pulse inputs and digital I/O. DIP switches are provided for selecting counter modes.
Working Principle: The unit receives high-frequency pulse signals from encoders. It counts these pulses using dedicated hardware counters, independent of the CPU scan time. It can compare counter values against preset targets to trigger outputs or interrupts.
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on CS1 CPU rack or expansion rack.
- Use shielded twisted-pair cables for encoder connections.
- Ensure proper grounding.
Usage Notes:
- Select the correct input voltage (5V, 12V, 24V) for the connected encoder.
- Do not exceed the maximum input frequency.
- Digital outputs do not have short-circuit protection; ensure load currents are within limits
