Technical data
DC541-CM interrupt I/O and fast counter module
In the operating mode counter, the channels can be confgured as follows:
Input, Output, 32-bit up/down counter (uses C0...C3) as a 32-bit counter without limit, 32-bit periodic counter as a 32-bit counter with a limit, limiter
for a 32-bit counter (limit channel 0), 32-bit up counter (forward counter) with the frequencies 50 kHz, 5 kHz and 2.5 kHz, pulse-width modulation
(PWM) with a resolution of 10 kHz, time and frequency measurement, frequency output.
