Product Description

The ECPNC3-0 counter module from B&R Automation's ECP Series is a reliable and versatile component suitable for a range of counting tasks. This module can work with a standard input voltage of 24VDC and the input voltage for this module should range between 18VDC to 30VDC only.

It has a typical input current of 10mA; this shows how power-conscious this device is. Due to its efficiency, it can supply power to encoders. It has an encoder supply voltage of 24 VDC and a current of 250 mA, to guarantee the proper functioning of the encoder even when it is located 50 meters away from it. This feature is critical since many automated environments are complex and the performance needs to be standardized. There is clear evidence of the flexibility and versatility of the module in handling high frequencies. It can manage an input frequency as high as 50 kHz, with counting frequencies that vary based on the mode of operation: Single counting frequency is 50 kHz, double counting frequency is 100 kHz, and quadrature counting frequency is 200 kHz. This module is ideal for use in various industrial applications that demand accurate counting and motion control. The ECPNC3-0 guarantees that the phase difference between the channels is retained at 90 degrees ~30 degrees , which is important for demultiplexing the input signals. This module also provides that reference pulse width must be more than 50 microseconds to improve counting accuracy. It has a counting capacity limited to 24-bit binary, which is quite useful in processing and manipulating data within advanced control systems.

With an analog output voltage of ~10 V, the module can easily connect with other control system elements and manage the exchange of information and control signals between devices. The ECPNC3-0 counter module from B&R Automation perfectly represents a highly efficient, accurate, and flexible solution that can be of great use in various industrial applications where precision and reliability are paramount. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
