In “Event Counter” mode, the ioLogik R1200’s DI channel accepts data from limit or proximity switches, and
counts events according to the ON/OFF status. You may select from two modes, “Lo to Hi” or “Hi to Lo.” When
“Lo to Hi” is selected, the counter value increases while the switch is pushed. When “Hi to Lo” is selected, the
counter value increases when the switch is pushed and released. The sampling rate of the counter is 2.5 kHz.
This function is designed for low speed switching, not for motor control.
To eliminate the problem of switch bouncing, the ioLogik R1200 provides software filtering that is configurable
in multiples of 0.2 ms. For example, a setting of 100 would mean a 20 ms filter (100 × 0.2 ms). The maximum
value allowed by the software filter is 65535. Setting the filter to “0” causes the system to filter all signals.
Power On Settings: You may configure DI channels in Event Counter mode whether or not counting begins
when powering up.
Safe Status Settings: For DI channels in Event Counter mode, you can configure whether or not counting
starts or continues when Safe Status has been activated. When the network connection is lost as specified in
the Host Connection Watchdog, the ioLogik R1200 will start or stop the counter according to the channel’s Safe
Status settings. Note that the Host Connection Watchdog is disabled by default, and must be enabled for Safe
Status settings to take effect.
Test I/O: You can test DI channels in the Test tab to see how the status or counter value responds when the
attached input device is manipulated.
