Series Overview
Precision Pulse Counting at Industrial Speeds
These high-speed counters are built to handle rapid input frequencies—up to 1 MHz or more—ensuring stable performance in applications demanding real-time signal tracking. With low latency processing and hardware-based counting logic, they outperform traditional PLC software counters in both speed and accuracy.
Flexible Input Formats and Encoder Compatibility
The series supports various pulse inputs including single-phase, AB quadrature, and Z-phase indexing, making it fully compatible with incremental encoders and rotary pulse generators. Edge detection and direction recognition are handled in real time, suitable for complex motion profiles.
What makes this series technically superior?
Key advantages include isolated high-speed input channels, configurable filter settings, interrupt output capability, and support for multiple counter modes (up/down, ring, preset, compare). Some models integrate seamlessly with major PLC brands like Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron via plug-and-play interfaces.
Typical Applications
Designed for Motion and Position Control
High-speed counters are widely used in servo and stepper motor systems for accurate speed and position feedback. Applications include automatic cutting machines, CNC equipment, and packaging lines that require synchronized control based on encoder pulse feedback.
Versatile Across Automation Systems
From conveyor belt monitoring to bottle filling lines, high-speed counters play a critical role in detection, timing, and real-time production feedback. They help detect product count, travel distance, and rotational speed—ensuring production accuracy and efficiency.
Selection Tips & Compatibility Notes
Choose by Frequency, Input Type, and Channel Count
When selecting a model, check your signal frequency, input pulse type (NPN/PNP), and the number of channels required. For encoder applications, ensure AB phase compatibility and Z-phase reset if needed. Multi-channel models are ideal for axis tracking or dual-motor synchronization.
Ensure PLC or Controller Compatibility
Confirm the counter module’s communication interface (e.g., I/O, high-speed bus, or expansion slot) is compatible with your PLC or motion controller. Models designed for specific brands (Mitsubishi FX series, Siemens S7-1200, etc.) offer plug-and-play integration, reducing setup time.
How to ensure counting accuracy and stability?
Use shielded cables and proper grounding to minimize signal noise. Enable digital filters for signal debouncing when using mechanical switches or low-speed encoders. Always match the rated input voltage and pulse width with your sensor or encoder output for optimal performance.
