Batch
Counter
The batch counter counts
the pulses emitted by the main counter. |
Mode
A way to program the
counter for differerent application. |
Baud
rate
Transmission rate of
serial interface. |
Decimal
point
Possibility to set a
decimal point for readouts. |
Electronic
output
After reaching preset
value, a positive (PNP) or negative (NPN) signal is emitted
at the output (transistor or optocoupler). |
Sensor
supply
Voltage provided by the
counter to connect sensor or encoder. |
LCD
display
Liquid crystal display.
Can be read by background illumination or normal light
incidence. |
LED
Light Emitting Doide,
easy-to-read 7-segment display. |
Latch
Memorization of output
signal til manual reset. |
PTB
Physikalisch Technische
Bundesanstalt (Physical-technical Federal Institute).
Counters that are approved by PTB may be used for length
measurements that are appropriate for calibration after
the entire installation has been approved. |
Phase
discriminator
Evaluation circuit within
the counter that automatically recognizes the direction
of rotation of the encoder in case an incremental encoder
is connected with two signal that are 90° out of phase. |
Relay
output
A relay is switched after
the preset value has been reached. |
Reset
A relay is switched after
the preset value has been reached. |
Totalizer
A counter that counts
the input pulses by adding or subtracting them without
any kind of control function. |
Scaling
factor (electronic gear)
Multiplier to evaluate
input pulses. Possibility of evaluating incoming pulses
and thus of adapting electronic and mechanical equipment. |
Set
count
Value to be programmed.
The counter will be set back to this value after every
reset. |
UP
/ Down
Counting direction, adding
or subtracting. |
VAC
Voltage supply: alternating
current. |
VDC
Voltage supply: direct
current. |
Preselection
counter
Counter that accomplishes
an output function in addition to its adding or subtracting
counting function. Example: Initation of a cutting operation
at a certain count. |
Preset
value
An output is switched
when this value has been reached. |
Impulse
signal time
Lapse of time that an
output remains active after a preset value has been reached. |
Counting
rate
The maximum number of
pulses per second. |
Counting
mode
Type of evaluation of
the pulses at the counter. |
