Description
The product with the part number 185503B-01, also recognized by its alternative part number 777518-500, falls under the FieldPoint category. Specifically, it is the FP-CTR-500 model. This model is described as an 8-Channel Counter Input Module, which is not recommended for new designs due to its legacy status.
It features 8 count-input channels alongside 4 gate-input channels, making it versatile for various applications. The input voltage range is quite flexible, accepting 10 to 30 VDC, which accommodates a wide range of power supplies. The maximum frequency this module can handle is up to 50 kHz, suitable for high-speed counting applications.
A few notable features of this module include configurable low-pass filters, which help in reducing noise for signal inputs. Moreover, its counters are cascadable up to 128 bits, allowing for extensive counting operations. The inputs are optically isolated, providing enhanced protection against electrical noise and surges. As for the output configuration, it can produce pulse or toggle states, offering flexibility in signal processing. Lastly, the input terminals labeled as VIN, VSUP, COM are designated for easy connection and setup.
