Introducing the CIO-CTR10
Overview: CIO-CTR10 features
The CIO-CTR10 is based on the 9513 counter/timer device. The CIO-CTR10 has two 9513 counter/timer
devices. Each 9513 device has five independent 16-bit counters (65,536 counts). Each counter has an input
source, count register, load register, hold register, alarm register, output, and gate associated with each counter.
The 9513 is software-programmable for event counting, pulse and frequency measurement, alarm comparisons,
and other input functions. The 9513 can generate frequencies with either complex duty cycles, or with one-shot
and continuous-output modes. You can chain up to five 9513 counters together using software to enable a 32-,
48-, 64-, or 80-bit counter that does not require hardware connections. The gate source and gating functions are
software-programmable.
An eight-bit digital output port provides logic-level control, and can be used to switch solid state relays. An
eight-bit digital input port can be used to sense contact closures and other TTL level signals.
