SLC 500 ™ 50 KHz Counter / Flowmeter Input Module
Increased Accuracy and Reliability
The counter module offers
±
1 count accuracy and
±
1% or better
frequency measurement accuracy. Programmable functions allow the
user to define counter ranges and flags to accommodate process-specific
requirements. Full speed counter operation of over 50kHz is possible.
Reduced System Costs
High Channel density allows for lower resource usage. Eight channels
consume the resources associated with a standard two channel module.
State-of-the-Art Performance
These modules incorporate state of the art Programmable Gate Array
technology that allows high circuit density and functionality. The
module uses proprietary Allen-Bradley technology, so they operate and
perform like the latest Allen-Bradley products. They also provide high
resolution, user-programmable range settings, continuous temperature
compensation (no field calibration), software configuration,
programmable output limits, and programmable safe states in case of a
fault.
