Output Modules work with incremental encoders.
Press Release Summary:
Counter/Pulse Output Modules accept high-speed pulse-type input signals and provide discrete outputs or pulse output for position control, speed referencing, or other motion control functions. They feature 8 DC sink/source inputs at 9-30 Vdc, and 4 isolated sink/source DC outputs at 5-30 Vdc. Input configurations supported include 2 quadratureencoder counters up to 100 kHz, or 4 single channel counters up to 100 kHz, and 4 high-speed discrete inputs for reset, inhibit, or capture.
Original Press Release:
AutomationDirect® Adds Combination High-Speed Counter/Pulse Output Modules
Cumming, GA --- April 15, 2003 --- AutomationDirect now offers
new high-speed counter/pulse output modules for their Terminator
I/O and DL405 lines of PLC and I/O products, in addition to their
existing DL205 high-speed counter module. The new high-speed
counter modules are designed to accept high-speed pulse-type
input signals and provide either discrete outputs or a pulse output for position control, speed referencing, or other motion control functions. The modules offer unique flexibility for applications that require counting or timing based on an input pulse, and are designed to work with incremental encoders, or to provide a pulse output signal to a stepper or servo drive.
The modules start at $289 and feature eight DC sink/source inputs
at 9-30 VDC, and four isolated sink/source DC outputs at 5-30
VDC. Input configurations supported include two quadrature
encoder counters up to 100KHz, or four single channel counters up
to 100KHz, and four high-speed discrete inputs for reset, inhibit, or capture. Outputs supported include four independently
configurable high-speed discrete outputs or two channels of pulse
output control (at 20 Hz - 25 KHz per channel), and pulse and
direction or clockwise/ counterclockwise pulses.
