National Instruments FP-CTR-500 Counter Module for FieldPoint
The National Instruments FP-CTR-500 (Part Number: 777518-500) 8-Channel module is an adaptable, fast computerized Counter Module for FieldPoint that can be utilized to tally advanced signals going from 10 to 30 VDC and to quantify frequency. This module is quick enough to deal with information motions up to 50 kHz for fast applications and sufficiently adaptable to quantify frequency utilizing the interior frequency reference or the outer entryway inputs. This flexible Counter Module highlights configurable low-pass channels to take out high-frequency commotion and cascadable counter channels that can be utilized to make counters up to 128 bits wide to store trillions of checks. For discrete control applications, such as bundling, the computerized yield channels can be arranged to consequently empower outer gadgets.
Each input channel has one information terminal, VIN. In this model, every channel comes with terminals called VSUP and COM that can provide power to field instruments. Eight count-input channels and four gate-input channels can be linked to instruments with sourcing outputs. The NI FP-CTR-500 has sinking inputs, so the VIN terminal offers a route to common. The input channels on this module are optically separated from the remainder of the FieldPoint bank; they have current-limiting circuitry. The user can design every one of the four counter outputs to either heartbeat or flip states when they achieve the terminal mean a counter info. This is valuable when the user has to stimulate outside hardware after achieving a specific number for applications such as bundling.
