Description
The FP-CTR-502 is an 8 Channel Counter Input Module designed for use in FieldPoint systems. Its part numbers are 186729D-01 and 777518-502, indicating specific manufacturing details and design iterations for this particular model. As a component categorized under FieldPoint, it is specifically engineered to fit seamlessly onto a FieldPoint backplane, ensuring easy installation and integration into existing systems.
This module is not recommended for new designs, signaling that it might be nearing the end of its production or support cycle. However, it remains a valuable component for systems already relying on this technology. The module boasts 8 input channels and 1 output channel, making it versatile for various counting and timing applications within a FieldPoint framework.
Safety is a paramount concern with the FP-CTR-502. It features a distinction barrier between the I/O channels and the communication bus to prevent electrical interference and potential damage. However, it is important to note that there is no channel-to-channel separation unless specifically noted, which might require additional considerations in certain applications.
To aid in diagnostics and system monitoring, the module is equipped with two green status LEDs labeled POWER and READY. These indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the module’s operational status, helping technicians and system operators to quickly assess and address any issues.
