CNT-3204IN-ETH

Overview / Features

This product is an Ethernet-compliant counter unit, which adds the function of counting pulse signals input from external devices through a LAN port to a PC. It has four channels of 32-bit up/down counters, allowing external devices such as a rotary encoder and a linear scale to be connected. The pulse signal inputting interface is optocoupler isolated. Compact design, (188.0(W)×78.0(D)×30.5(H)mm), features flexibility in installation. The product can be set on the floor, wall, and inside the console or equipment with the DIN rail. Windows/Linux device driver is supported with this product.

• 32-bit up-and-down counter
  • The 32 bit up-and-down counter could have four channels and up to 500kHz maximum speed pulse input. Moreover, it can count 2-phase signals and mono-phase signals such as a rotary encoder and a linear scale.
• Control input/output signals and input signals for controlling sampling functions
  • One control input signal and one control output signal are provided for each channel. This product can generate an interrupt, output an external signal, preset the counter, and clear it to zero when the count value matches the arbitrary value that is set. Moreover, this product has input signals (start/stop/clock) for controlling sampling functions.
• Operable in a wide range of 12 – 24VDC power
  • The product can be operated in the various environments with a wide range power supply of 12 – 24VDC. In addition, the FG terminal is equipped in the power supply connector.
• Usable as an Ethernet-based counter input
  • Monitoring up-and-down counter is easy as it can be controlled remotely through Ethernet.
• Windows/Linux support device driver
  • Using the device driver API-TOOL makes it possible to create applications of Windows/Linux. In addition, a diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be checked is provided.
• Windows/Linux compatible driver libraries are supported.
  • Using the digital I/O driver makes it possible to create applications of Windows/Linux. In addition, a diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be checked is provided.
    • *1 this is available in firmware version 1.10 or higher
