Product Description

The 3NC150.6 I/O module is suitable for numerous industrial control applications due to its two counter channels and two analog outputs. The equipotential bonding current between analog outputs, reference, and counter up/down operations have status indications. Compensating current monitoring and software-based LED indication homing are examples of diagnostic capabilities.

For the 3NC150.6 module to function, it uses a total power of 5.0 W consisting of 1.5 W from a 5 VDC source and 3.5 W from a 24 VDC source. There is electrical isolation between the outputs and the encoders as well as between the outputs and PLC, but there is not any electrical isolation among encoders and outputs. The module meets the criteria for industrial control equipment since it has been certified to CE and cULus (E115267) standards. Two counter channels which facilitate evaluation modes of 1x, 2x, and 4x can be accessed via nine-pin female DSUB connectors. Configuration of operation modes as either incremental or up/down counters, including input filters, can be performed using software. Encoder inputs can handle both symmetrical as well as asymmetrical setups with a maximum input frequency capable of reaching 100 kHz while still having an external power supply range from +5 up to +30V DC.

Each counter channel has a capacity of 32 bits, providing strong counting capabilities. The module has an analogue output ~10 V range, digital converter resolution of twelve bits with all outputs requiring only about thirty-five microseconds conversion time. The analogue accuracy remains at ~0.5% basic even when subjected to short circuits at twenty degrees Celsius. The module operates just fine at relative humidity levels that are between five percent and ninety-five percent. It should work in temperature extremes from zero degrees Celsius up to sixty degrees Celsius, yet it could be stored within -25C to +70C.
