Inputs
5.5. CM2115 DC-Coupled Frequency Input
There is one type of frequency input in the CM2115:
DC-coupled frequency input
The input detects frequency signals that are pre-conditioned to fall within the DC
threshold ranges of the input. Unlike an AC-coupled input, this input is used with
frequency sensors that switch between system ground and sensor/battery power.
Typical sensor types are Hall Effect.
The CM2115 has one DC-coupled frequency input:
INPUT8_DF
5.5.1. CM2115 DC-Coupled Frequency Input Capabilities
A DC-coupled frequency input allows you to read the frequency of external
signals that switch between system ground, and sensor or battery power. This
input is ideal for use with hall-effect type sensors.
The following table provides specifications for the CM2115's DC-coupled
frequency input:
