This counter detects binary pulse signals with NAMUR-compliant levels at the CLK (CLOCK) input and transmits the current count value to the connected fieldbus system. The counting direction in “up/down counter” mode can be defined via the U/D (Up/Down) input. The counter and the digital output (DO) can be set and reset via the control byte. Additionally, a threshold value can be defined that triggers the DO when exceeded. The output is short-circuit-proof. Operating modes: Up Counter with Enable Input Up/Down Counter Frequency Counter Peak-Time Counter Indicators: Green LED (Up/Down + CLK + DO status) Red LED (Up/Down + CLK error status) Field and system levels are electrically isolated. The device is ideal for operation in extreme environments thanks to: An extended temperature range Greater immunity to impulse voltages and electromagnetic interference Higher vibration and shock resistance
