Intended use and properties
MD150E
is a multipurpose, programmable counter designed for counting pulses from incremental
encoder or other sources of square wave signals. MD150E can define signal frequency and scale
counted values into required unites (rpm, rps, mm, m, deg, etc.)
With two relay outputs the user is able to set thresholds as desired. MD150E is also equipped with
additional input for resetting counter state.
MD150E
counter is very intuitive. Only one parameter is needed to scale number of counted pulses
to required unit.
MD150E is equipped in
USB
and
RS485 MODBUS
interfaces. USB enables direct connection between
processing unit and PC (record to csv file). RS485 interface with MODBUS-RTU protocol enables
communication with industrial devices like PLC or HMI.
Housing made of full aluminum profile guarantees excellent mechanical resistance to harsh external
conditions.
MD150E features:
Counting external pulses with frequency up to
2Mhz
,
Power supply 12…36V DC or 230V AC (depends on version)
Can cooperate with any incremental enkoder, linear magnetic enkoder, other sources of
Step/direction signals etc.,
Scale of counting pulses to any unites,
Defining frequency of counted pulses,
Possibility of recording counted pulses – reconstructing counter state after turning on the
device,
Setting status of relay outputs based on set thresholds,
4 operation modes of relay outputs + additional
cycle counter -
it allows use in dose
application without additional controller,
Data transmission to PC (
USB
) or master device e.g. HMI panel, PLC (
RS485 MODBUS-RTU
).
