needs in your system. Each module has a Module Status LED and each channel has
a LED for visual indication of connectivity.
The counter module EP-5111 can read one square-wave signal (1 channel) (for
example, from an incremental encoder) with a maximum input frequency of 100
kHz. The 32-bit counter can count up or down within a predetermined range of
values.
Specialty Module
The digital counter module EP-5112 can read two square-wave signals (2 channels)
(for example, from an incremental encoder) with a maximum input frequency of 100
kHz. Depending on the operating mode, both 32-bit counters can count up or down
independent of each other in a preset range of values. The counters can be
controlled via software by setting the appropriate control word.
The digital counter module EP-5212 can read frequency of one square-wave signal
(1 channel) from one or two external sensors with a maximum input frequency of
100 kHz. Frequencys to be counted are applied to channel CH0 and/or channel CH1,
the measurement will be started via control word 1 and 2 respectively. Measuring
cycles can be defined in μs. The longer the measuring cycle the more exactly the
measurement.
The digital pulse width modulation modules EP-5422 and EP-5442 are used for the
control of small motors with current requirements of 0.5 A up to 2 A which can also
be used for the control of valve flaps. The switching frequencies are adjustable up to
40 kHz and, in addition to this, the push/pull output levels can be used for motor
activation; for example: change of rotation direction. As with all modules of the RSTiEP system, the characteristics are outstanding – from the modular design and the
interchangeable electronics to the removable plug-in terminal strip.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible.
Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds after
power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility available on
PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.
