Description
The FP-CTR-500 is a specialized module designed for counter input applications, identifiable by its part number 777518-500. It falls under the FieldPoint category, indicating its compatibility with FieldPoint systems. This module is specifically named the FP-CTR-500 8-Ch. Counter Input Module, and it’s important to note that it is not recommended for new designs.
The module features 8 Counter Input Channels and 4 Gate Input Channels, providing ample capacity for various counting and gating tasks. It operates within a signal range of 10 to 30 VDC and can handle a maximum signal frequency of up to 50 kHz. This allows for the accommodation of a wide range of signal types and frequencies, making it versatile in its applications.
Among its notable features are configurable low-pass filters, which help in eliminating high-frequency noise, and cascadable counter channels, allowing multiple counters to be linked for complex counting tasks. Additionally, the module includes optically isolated inputs to protect against high voltage transients and current-limiting circuitry to prevent damage from overcurrent conditions. These features collectively enhance the module’s reliability and flexibility in various industrial settings.
For output, the FP-CTR-500 can be configured to provide either pulse or toggle signals, depending on the application requirements. It also supports sinking input type, making it suitable for use with a broad range of sensors and input devices that require a sinking connection.
