Converter modules, Vcm - voltage converter modules, Specifications
VCM - VOLTAGE CONVERTER MODULES
Converts AC/DC voltages to an acceptable signal input for many RLC counters
and accessories and provides input/output voltage isolation.
TCM - TRIAC CONVERTER MODULE
Accepts unloaded, high off-state leakage triac output from sensors and
programmable controllers.
LCM - LOGIC CONVERTER MODULE
Interfaces with CMOS, TTL, and other logic circuits up to +28 VDC, at speeds to
50 KHz. Allows Cub Counters to share sensor outputs with other series counters.
These miniature sized modules are completely encapsulated in PVC, which
provides protection against oil, water, dirt, and mechanical damage. They can be
quickly and easily mounted to most surfaces by using the self-stick adhesive pad.
VCM - VOLTAGE CONVERTER MODULES
These modules provide a convenient way to adapt RLC Counters to most any
machine control voltage signal. They also make it easy to upgrade electro-
mechanical counter installations with RLC Counters.
VCM’s are available in two input voltage ranges that cover the spectrum
from 4-270 V. The non-polarized input of these modules will accept A.C. (50/60
Hz) or D.C. voltages at input cycles up to 30 Hz. The output uses MOSFET
technology that is compatible with either the L.S. Count or Remote Reset inputs
of RLC Counters. Electrical isolation between input and output is achieved by
means of an internal opto-isolator rated at 2300 V
RMS
.
