PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
SCALING A COUNTER
Example:
An encoder generates 600 pulses per foot. The Desired Display is
tenths of inches. The Prescaler is determined using the formula below.
Prescaler =
Where:
Desired Display
= The number of Desired
Display units (revolutions,
feet, 10ths of feet, meters,
etc.).
Number of Pulses
= The number of pulses
required to achieve the
Desired Display
Decimal Point Value
= The desired decimal point
placement on the display.
Example:
Display tenths of inches when using
Prescaler =
= 10/50 = 0.2
1 (inch) x 10 (Decimal Point Value)
600 pulses/foot x 1 foot/ 12 inches
Desired Display Units x Decimal Point Value

BACKLIGHT OPTION
Optional backlight versions of the CUB7P require an external 9 to 26 VDC
power supply. The external supply is connected between the V+ and common
terminals as shown in the drawing.
APPLICATION - TOTAL YARDS OF MATERIAL
A fabric manufacturer wants to know, as
economically as possible, how many whole yards of
material his lines are running. The CUB7P000 will
meet his process requirements. The encoder
measuring the material, generates a one pulse per
foot output signal. To obtain the desired display of
yards measured, a prescale value of 0.3333 is
programmed. To program the prescale value, connect
wires between RST EN (Reset Enable) and COM.
(Common); and between HS (Program Enable) and
COM. (Common) to enable the front panel push
buttons (See
PROGRAMMING
for more details.).
Remove these wires after programming to prevent
accidental changes to the prescale value. At the end
of each shift, the machine operator records the total
shown on the display and resets the counter to zero
via key switch.
