Introduction

Up/down counter 24 V_DC, 1 kHz

The up/down counter counts binary pulses, and transmits the counter state, in an electrically isolated form, to the higher-level automation device.

The EL1512 EtherCAT terminal can alternatively be operated as:

• a single-channel counter (32 bit) that can be toggled between counting up and down via the U/D input
• a single-channel counter (32 bit) that is controlled via the gate connection
• two separate logic counters (32 bit) that can count in one direction only with the Clock 1 and Clock 2 inputs (delivery state)

The signal state of the inputs is indicated by light emitting diodes.

The EL1512 is particularly suitable for simple counting tasks such as the connection of a flow meter.
