ArmorPoint Counter Modules

The input voltage range is 5V DC (1738–IJ) or 15…24V DC (1738–VHSC24). The module returns the count or frequency in the form of a 24-bit binary number (0…16,777,215) expressed in a 32-bit word. Each counter has a user-selectable preset and rollover value associated with it.

The operation of the counter and encoder modes is nearly identical. The difference between the two modes is in the type of feedback (one-phase versus two-phase) for the count direction (up or down). In encoder mode, a transition is expected on B for counting to proceed in a direction, whereas, in counter mode, the B input may be left at a static level. All operating modes are selected by writing appropriate configuration data to the module.

ArmorPoint Serial I/O Modules

ArmorPoint Synchronous Serial Interface Modules

The Synchronous Serial Interface Absolute Encoder Module collects serial data from industrial absolute position encoding sensors that use standard SSI protocol, including linear, rotary, and optical distance measuring devices. The module is inserted into an ArmorPoint I/O terminal base that provides common power, communications, and wiring connections for the SSI sensors. The module converts a serial data stream from an SSI sensor into absolute position data readable as a 32-hexadecimal value. Gray or binary-code capable with gray to binary conversion, increasing or decreasing SSI count indication, 2 SSI word comparator values, and SSI word latching with I1 input.

ArmorPoint Serial Interface Modules

The 1738–232ASCM12 and 1738–485ASCM12 serial-interface modules offer a serial-link communication interface solution for peripheral products with RS–232 (use the 1738–232ASCM12), RS–485, and RS–422 ports (use the 1738–485ASCM12). These modules allow a device with serial-interface output (i.e., bar code readers) to communicate up to 128 bytes of ASCII data onto any network supported by ArmorPoint I/O. Each module is a single-channel, full-duplex interface and is rated for up to 38.4k baud. LED indicators on the modules offer diagnostics for the module, POINTBus backplane, and transmit/receive status indication.
