Product Description

The MCP24A-1 is a counter module from the MCP series produced by B&R Automation used in industrial applications that involve counting and monitoring. It has 24 channels for binary inputs with a voltage range of 0 to 5V for various sensors and inputs.

This module is designed for high-speed operations with a maximum counting frequency of 100 kHz and has the option of up and down counting. Another important aspect of the MCP24A-1 is the programmability of the alarm thresholds, which can be configured through the programming interface to define the conditions in which an alert will be triggered. It employs CAN for data transmission which provides for efficient and reliable data transfer and allows for integration with other automation systems. The module has been designed to work on a 24V DC supply voltage and has a current consumption of 150 mA which is an energy-efficient design while delivering adequate power for high-speed applications. It has a maximum input voltage of 30 V to protect the circuit from high voltage and electrical surge. The protection class of IP20 suggests that the unit is protected against objects larger than 12mm but not against water, which is consistent with its applicability for indoor environments with controlled moisture.

This device is designed to function optimally in a temperature range of -20 to +60 degrees C and weighs 200 grams, making it capable of functioning in different environments from cold storage facilities to hot production floors. This makes the MCP24A-1 a fundamental component in the MCP series for industrial automation, showing B&R Automation's commitment to offering state-of-the-art, dependable solutions. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
