DS-48 pulse counter - 2× display, 2 inputs, relay output

Product description

The DS-48 pulse counter is a universal, dual-input panel counter with two 4-digit LED displays (actual value + target value). It is capable of counting, subtracting and processing signals from mechanical switches, PNP/NPN inductive sensors and incremental encoders. Thanks to a wide range of input and output functions, it is suitable for industrial automation systems, production lines, measuring stations and process control.

Main features

• 2× 4-digit, 7-segment LED display

• 1× OUT relay output + SSR output

• Multiple modes: counting, countdown, addition from multiple inputs, control via second input

• Support for mechanical switches, PNP/NPN sensors and encoders

• Selectable input frequency: 20 / 50 / 2500 / 7500 Hz

• Password setting protection

• EEPROM memory - data retention in case of power failure

• Option to set OFFSET and decimal point

• Automatic reset of the last value after a power failure

Function

Input function (7 modes):

• Counting up

• Countdown

• Adding from two inputs at once

• Pause controlled by second input

• Input negation

• Counting from the rising/falling edge

• Combinations: addition from one edge, subtraction from another, negation, etc.

Output functions (9 modes):

• Relay release after reaching the target

• Hold for RESET

• Pulse output 0.1-999.9 s

• Control via SSR output (NPN)

Installation recommendations

• Use shielded and twisted signal cables, ground the shield.

• Separate signal cables from power and power cables

• Use a F250 mA / 250 VAC fuse for the mains input.

• Protect the equipment from moisture, vibration, dust and extreme temperatures.

• For mechanical switches, it is recommended to set the input frequency to 20 Hz.

• When using two inputs:

• Phs4 mode → max. ¼ input frequency

• 1u2u, 1u2d, Phs2 modes → max. ½ input frequency
