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

In this mode, counting is continuous up to the minimum or maximum value range (optionally 16 or 32 bits) of the counter module.

In this mode, counting takes place once up to a predefined upper limit value (end value) and then stops. When the counter is restarted, it is restarted from a lower limit value (start value).

In this mode, after reaching the predefined end value, counting is automatically resumed again from the predefined start value via an overflow.

Apply a predefined value for a specified signal as the current counter reading.

Lock the counter so that all incoming pulses are ignored. This means that the current counter reading stays until it is enabled again by a trigger.

Save the current counter reading by transferring it as a latch value to the process data – without interrupted counter function. Optionally, after a capture event, counting can be resumed from a predefined preset value.

Define a comparison value against which the current counter reading is then consistently checked. A status bit can be set when a predefined condition is met.

Simply switch between counting forward and counting backward.

In this mode, the number of pulses is measured once over the specified gate time and then transferred to the process data.

In this mode, a new measurement with the same gate time starts directly after the specified gate time has elapsed.

By defining a gate time, all incoming pulses are measured over a specified period of time, and a frequency (Hz) is issued at the end. Outliers can be filtered in this way if desired.

In this mode, the period duration is measured once and then transferred to the process data.

In this mode, a new measurement starts directly after the end of a measurement. The value is updated after each full period.

Take an average of your period duration measurement through the selection of a specified number of periods. Continuous averaging is performed via the moving average principle.

Set the time that may elapse from the start of the measurement to the first slope or between two slopes before the measurement is defined as invalid.
