SM 335 – High-Speed Analog Input/Output Module for the SIMATIC S7-300

Upper limiting value
The upper limiting value results from the condition that the interval between two
positive edges must be at least 2.5 ms. The critical frequency is thus 400 Hz
(equivalent to 24,000 revolutions per minute).
At least 1 ms must be available for the high levels and the low level.
These limiting values apply for sensors, which generate one pulse per revolution.
When sensors generating several pulses per revolution are used, you must re-
assess the critical frequencies. A number of examples are listed in Table 4-1.
