2-Channel Counter/Frequency Module CE

Model ADAM-4080
The ADAM-4080 has two 32-bit counter input channels (counter 0 and counter 1)
with a built-in programmable timer for frequency measurement. This cost-effective
module lets you monitor counter/frequency data as measurements are taken.
It provides separate terminals for photo-isolated input and non-isolated input to
simplify wiring. Opto-isolated input provides 2500 Vrms isolation to protect your
equipment from ground loops. After you make the physical connections, just program
the module to identify which of its two sets of input terminals it should activate
(isolated or non-isolated terminals).
The ADAM-4080 includes a unique programmable digital filter to reject noise on
the input lines. You can specify separate time constants, such as minimum signal
width at high level and minimum signal width at low level, to provide stable output
readings.
When the ADAM-4080 is programmed for non-isolated input you set a high and low
trigger level. Like the programmable digital filter, the programmable threshold rejects
noise on the input lines and provides stable input readings.
