CC-PCNT01

Description

CC-PCNT01

1. Parameter Specifications

• Power Supply:
  • The CC – PCNT01 operates on a 24V DC power supply. The power consumption is relatively low, approximately 4 – 6W, making it energy – efficient for continuous use in industrial applications.
• Pulse Counting:
  • It is equipped with a single high – speed pulse input. This input can handle pulse frequencies up to 50kHz, enabling accurate counting of pulses from various sources such as encoders, proximity sensors with pulsed outputs, or flow meters that generate pulse signals proportional to the measured quantity.
• Output Configuration:
  • There are 2 digital outputs. Each output can drive a load with a maximum current of 0.3A. These outputs are suitable for controlling small – scale relays, indicator lights, or other low – power devices.
• Communication Interface:
  • It supports an RS – 485 serial communication interface using the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows for seamless data exchange with other Modbus – compatible devices and control systems.

2. Applications

• Industrial Automation:
  • In industrial manufacturing, the CC – PCNT01 can be used for speed and position monitoring. For example, it can count the pulses from an encoder attached to a conveyor belt motor to measure the belt’s speed and distance traveled. This information can be used to control the conveyor’s operation, ensuring proper material handling.
• Packaging Industry:
  • In packaging machines, it can count the number of products passing through a specific point on the production line. Based on the count, it can trigger packaging operations such as sealing, labeling, or cutting.
• Flow and Quantity Measurement:
  • For fluid flow measurement systems, it can count the pulses generated by a flow meter. This enables the calculation of the flow rate and the total volume of fluid that has passed through the system over a given period.

3. Weight and Dimensions

• Weight:
  • The module weighs about 0.1 kg, which is extremely light and easy to install and handle.
• Dimensions:
  • The overall dimensions are: length – 60mm, width – 40mm, height – 12mm. Its compact size allows for installation in very limited spaces, such as inside small control enclosures or on printed circuit boards.

4. Features

• High – Speed Pulse Counting:
  • The ability to handle pulse frequencies up to 50kHz ensures accurate counting even in high – speed applications, providing reliable data for control and monitoring purposes.
• Modbus Compatibility:
  • The support for the Modbus RTU protocol simplifies integration with other industrial devices and control systems. It allows for easy configuration, data retrieval, and remote control.
• Cost – Effective Solution:
  • With its simple yet effective design, the CC – PCNT01 offers a cost – effective solution for basic pulse – counting applications, making it accessible for small – to – medium – sized industrial projects.

5. Stability and Reliability

• Robust Construction:
  • The module is housed in a durable plastic enclosure that protects it from dust, moisture, and minor mechanical vibrations. This ensures stable operation in normal industrial environments.
• Fault – Tolerant Design:
  • It is designed with built – in protection mechanisms such as over – current protection for the digital outputs. These features safeguard the module from electrical faults and extend its service life.
• Quality Components:
  • The use of high – quality electronic components and strict quality control during manufacturing ensure long – term reliability and consistent performance.

6. Real – world Examples

• Small – scale Woodworking Shop:
  • In a small – scale woodworking shop, the CC – PCNT01 can be used to monitor the rotation speed of a saw blade. By counting the pulses from an encoder attached to the saw motor, it can ensure that the blade is operating at the correct speed for safe and efficient cutting.
• Pharmaceutical Packaging Line:
  • In a pharmaceutical packaging line, it can count the number of pills passing through a filling station. Based on the count, it can control the filling process to ensure that each bottle contains the correct number of pills.
