Product Overview
The GE IC693APU300 is a high-speed counter module from the Series 90-30 family of programmable logic controllers (PLC). This module is designed for applications that require precise and fast counting of pulses, with the ability to handle high-speed input signals up to 80 kHz and low-frequency signals down to 20 Hz. It supports both A and B-type encoders and provides flexibility for counting, direction detection, and frequency measurement.
Key Features and Advantages
-
High-Speed Performance: Capable of counting pulses at rates up to 80 kHz for high-frequency applications and 20 Hz for low-frequency signals.
-
Flexible Counter Types: Offers A, B, and C type counters, allowing for independent or directional counting, as well as difference-based counts.
-
Multiple Counter Inputs: Supports up to 12 local fast inputs and 4 local fast outputs for high-performance operations.
-
Output Protection: Features 3A fuse protection for all points to ensure system safety during power surges.
-
Configuration Flexibility: Input filters with selectable high-frequency and low-frequency options, as well as adjustable timebase values for each counter.
