High-Speed Counter for PLC-S Special Program Introduction

High-Speed Counter Introduction

This section provides a comprehensive overview of high-speed counting capabilities within CICON. High-speed counting is a crucial feature for applications requiring the precise counting of rapid pulses, commonly used in industries such as packaging, robotics, and material handling.

High-speed counting can be achieved using various hardware options, depending on your system requirements. It can be implemented using the PLC-S mini modular or the Micro-S CPU types, both of which are suitable for smaller, space-constrained projects that still demand reliable high-speed pulse counting. Additionally, for systems requiring enhanced performance or flexibility, the CM3-SP02HSC or CM3-SP02HSD expansion module offers advanced capabilities, providing higher speed and a greater number of counting channels. The PLC-S Plus CPU, though not containing a high-speed counter functionality, can control high-speed counting through the embedded EtherCAT.
