New ASi-5 Counter Modules – Cost-Effective Solutions for a Wide Range of Applications

[Translate to Italien:] ASi-5 Counter Modules

What is New About the ASi-5 Counter Modules?

We have extended our range of ASi-5 counter modules with numerous functions, such as measurement of frequency and period duration. Another new feature is the 32-bit value range, which can be selected as an alternative to the fast transmission of 4 independent 16-bit counter values in 1.27 ms. All ASi-5 counter modules work with counter frequencies of up to 250 kHz max.

 

Thanks to their high flexibility – all 4 counter inputs can be configured and parameterized individually – our ASi-5 counter modules can be used to find cost-effective solutions for a wide range of applications. And since you can use IP67 variants directly in the field, you also benefit from all the proven ASi advantages – especially from dramatically reduced wiring complexity.

Four Flexibly Usable Counter Inputs

All 4 counter inputs can be configured individually as required. You can also connect pulse counters and encoders (24 V). Functions can be activated directly at the module either via the process data or via hardware inputs. ASi-5 counter modules fit therefore perfectly for a wide range of applications.

Modules Directly Usable in the Field

When you opt for our ASi-5 counter modules in IP67, you benefit from the proven ASi advantages in the field: up to 70 % lower wiring costs compared to round cable solutions, reduced installation effort thanks to piercing technology, and freely selectable topology.

Many Flexibly Usable Functions

Thanks to numerous functions and the four individually adjustable counter inputs of the flexible ASi-5 counter modules, you can find cost-effective solutions for a wide range of applications. Various counter functions as well as frequency and period duration measurement enable, for example, simple counting of loose goods, positioning tasks, speed measurement and much more.
