Figure 7. Standard Input Module Default Settings
DIP switch SW1, figure 7, is used to set up the counter to conform to the electrical characteristics of the sensor or signal being detected. Switch positions 1-3 configure channel B, while
switches 4-6 configure channel A. These switches select bias (threshold voltages), low pass
filter (enable/disable) and sensor type (Sink or Source).
Refer to the documentation that accompanied the sensor for related information. The sensor
can most likely be matched to one of the typical switch settings shown in figure 8 and figure 8a.
Note: The input boards are designed so that selecting sourcing or sinking is based on the
type of sensor that is being used. If a PNP (sinking) sensor is being used, set the input
board for sinking also (switches 3 and 6 = OFF).
If channel B is not used, default settings for switch positions 1 through 3 should be selected.
Default settings are provided in Table 2.
The Input module also provides for a User input signal. On the S663, this input serves as a
count enable/disable control. Connecting User to Common will disable counting.
The S663 can accept inputs from many different sensors. The A and B channels may be configured independently as shown in Table 2. Figures 8 and 8a have examples of some typical
sensors and the wiring connections that would be used.

2.5 Quadrature Input Module
The Quadrature / Universal Input Module has two operational modes: Quadrature mode and
Standard mode. Quadrature Mode is selected by positioning JP1 and JP2 on pins 1 and 2.
Standard Mode is selected by placing JP1 and JP2 on pins 2 and 3 (see Figure 10 for details).
The Quadrature mode supports a wide range of encoders including the Simpson SE series.
While in Standard Mode, this module works similarly to the Standard Input module, with the
added capability to selectively invert A, B, and User input signals.
The Input module also provides for a User input signal. On the S663, this input serves as a
Rate hard-wire reset. This may be used, for example, to reset a latched output configured as an
over speed alarm.
NOTE: If B channel is not going to be used, use the default switch settings for SW1
positions 1 through 3. Default settings are provided in Table 3.
In both modes, the state of the User input signal can be selected as active high or active
low. DIP switch SW1 congures the counter to match the specications of the accompanying
sensor. When shipped from the factory, the counter is set for X1 quadrature, as shown in
The Excitation Module can supply 12 VDC at up to 100 mA for external sensors or encoders. This excitation is isolated from the counter internal logic supply. When using sensors or
encoders that do not have a signal return or imply a signal return that is in common with the
supply voltage, a common attachment that ties the excitation supply to the logic input common
may be required. Examples of this appear in figures 8, 8a, 11 and 12.
The Single and Dual Relay modules can activate circuit loads of up to 5 amps at 250 VAC. A
Form C configuration allows use of normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC) circuit action. Only the output 1 channel is implemented in the single relay module.

Figure 17. Programming Menu Structure
In the Programming Mode, the S663 will return to Display Mode automatically if a key is not
pressed within 120 seconds (2 minutes). The menu is comprised of three levels: Setup Menu,
Function Menu and Option Menu. Figure 17 illustrates the three levels of the menu system.
Password Entry Entry (Pass) and changing of the password (Chpass) are similar to editing a
numerical parameter. See Numerical Value below. If the password has been
set to a value other than “000,” entry of the proper password is required to access the remainder of the menu.
Setup MenuAt the first level of the menu, the arrow keys navigate up or down through the
available Menu Selections.
Function Menu The second level of the menu contains the functions or software parameters
that need to be configured for the counter to operate properly.
Option MenuContains either Choice Lists or Numerical Values for configuring the func-
tions of the counter
Choice ListA choice list allows selection from a fixed number of options. A Choice List
is found in the Options section of the menu. The list is made up of the available options for the function that is being edited. Example: Menu is Input
Setup Menu, the Function is A Channel, the Choice List is up, down, quad,
and rquad. (See Table 6)

There are two start-up modes for the S663 counter. The default start-up mode will be used
every time the counter is powered up by the user. There is one alternate start up mode that will
allow the operator to return the counter software functions to factory default settings.
The alternate start-up modes can only be accessed by pressing and holding certain keys during
the power up sequence.

4 Programming Operations and Parameters
This section details the initial programming options of the S663, presuming all defaults are in
place.
If you are already familiar with the S663 programming, see Appendix B for the Programming
Quick Reference Guide.
To enter the Programming Mode, hold and press .
ENTER
To return to the Display Mode, press and hold for four seconds when counter is not in an
option menu.
4.1 Password and Security Controls
The security feature helps prevent accidental changes to counter settings.
The password value determines the counter’s security level, as shown in Table 5. If you have
forgotten the password, see section 3.5; Special Start-Up Modes.
1) After entering the Programming Mode, the first field is Password.
a) If no password has been assigned, the counter will flash between chpass, for
“Change Password” and the default value, 000.
b) To change the password, press when the display shows 000. Use the arrow
keys to change the flashing digit to the desired number.
c) Press to advance to the next digit. Press to accept the password to counter

4.2 A/B Channel Options (Input Setup)
The next category in the Programming Mode is the “Input Setup.” Here you can adjust the A
and B channels to the appropriate count modes.
The A channel input may be selected as an Up, Down, Quadrature or Reverse Quadrature* input. As an Up channel, pulses applied to the A input are added to the display. In Down mode,
subtraction occurs. Note that when using Quadrature inputs, appropriate hardware (jumper)
settings may be needed.
* The Reverse Quadrature input allows the user to reverse the count direction of the encoder in
software instead of having to rewire/remount the encoder.
a) When the display flashes input setup, press . The display will change to a chan.
b) Press again to proceed to the choice list. Scroll through up, down, quad, and r quad
ENTER
ENTER
using the arrow keys.
c) When the selection is complete, press to accept the selection to counter memory and
ENTER
proceed to the next parameter, Chan B Mode.
The B channel may be set as Up, Down or Direction. In the direction mode, the B channel is
no longer a count source, but controls the count direction of the A channel input. This state
control works as an ‘exclusive-or’ with the channel A direction. Thus, if B input is in the
‘Down’ state and A channel is set to Down, pulses at the A input will increment count.

When A channel has been set to either Quadrature or Reverse Quadrature settings, the B channel internally behaves as a direction control.
2) To set the B channel:
a) In the Input Setup area, after entering the A Chan value, the display will flash be-
tween b chan and the counter’s default (dir).
b) When the display shows dir, press .
c) Use the arrow keys to change the value, then press to accept the selection and
ENTER
ENTER
proceed to the next menu category, Count Setup.
NOTE: The B channel will not show in the menu when Quadrature or Reverse Quadrature has been selected for the A Channel input.
4.3 Scaling and Decimal Point Position (Count Setup)
Prescale
The S663 counter allows for prescaling of display values. Prescaling allows the counter to display a more accurate number than its 6-digit capacity might otherwise allow.
Generally speaking, the smaller the scale value, the more accurate the count will be. The S663
has four prescale values, 1.0 (default), 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001.
An example of this application is as follows:
A 600 pulse-per-revolution encoder is used to measure cable before it is cut to the proper
length. There is a wheel (one foot in circumference) attached to the encoder, in direct contact
with the cable. The user wants to see the counter display feet to 1/100’ accuracy (to two decimal points).
With the default prescale of 1.0, one rotation of the wheel would be displayed on the counter
as 00.0016’. However, by using a prescale of 0.01, the resolution has been multiplied by 100,
allowing the counter to display 0.16667, increasing the accuracy of the counter and allowing
more accurate cutting.
1) To access the prescale parameters, enter the Programming Mode, and press until the
count setup menu category is reached.
2) Press to continue to the Parameter Name prescl. The display will flash between prescl
and the default value of 1.0. When the display shows 1.0, press .
3) Use the arrow keys to scroll through the choices. Press when correct prescale is se-
ENTER
ENTER
ENTER
lected to accept the value and proceed to the next parameter, Count Scale.
User-defined Scale
The S663 also allows for a user-defined scaling multiplier.
1) To access the user-defined scaling parameter, enter the Programming Mode, and press
quntil the count setup menu category is reached. Press .
ENTER
2) Pressqto continue to the Parameter Name scale. The display will flash between cscale and
the default value of 01.0000. When the display shows 01.0000, press .
3) Use the arrow keys to enter the correct value of the flashing digit. Use the key to
advance to the next digit. Press when the correct scale is selected to accept value and
ENTER
ENTER
RESET
proceed to the next parameter, Count DP.
To calculate the scaling parameter, use the following scale formula:
Display = Multiplier (Pulse x Prescale x Scale x Decimal Point)
If the scale value isn’t known, use the following formula:
DISPLAY X Dp
SCALE =
MULT. (PULSE X PRESCALE)
For the example we used, the scale value is:
1.00
SCALE =
= 0.1667
1 (600) X 0.01
Decimal Point Position
1) To set the Decimal Point position, enter the Programming Mode, and press until the
count setup menu is reached.
2) Press and then to continue to the Parameter Name dp. The display will flash between dp and the default 000000. When the display shows 000000, press .
3) Use the arrow keys to scroll through the choices. Press when the correct decimal

place is selected to accept value and proceed to the next menu category, Rate Mode setup.
4.4 Rate (Frequency) Scaling and Display (Rate Setup)
One of four rate modes may be selected to best accommodate input frequencies ranging from
0.00278 Hz to 30 kHz. Select the rate mode according to Table 8.

The input frequency can be linearly scaled using the Scaling Multiplier, Offset and Decimal
Point. The rate channel has an offset value as well. To illustrate, the following example will be
used:
1) Multiply Input Frequency by implied Mode multiplier
10000 x 1= 10000
2) Multiply by user-specified Scale:
3) Discard all digits to right of decimal place:
(If number is larger than six digits, it will not fit in the display)
5000
4) Apply the user-specified DP location:
50.00
5) Add user-specified Offset location:
250.00 - 100.00 = 150.00
(That is what will be seen of the display)
The following notation may be used to describe this behavior:
The S663 supports 2 independent output channels with four modes of operation: disabled,
timed, latched and boundary.
Output TypeDescription
Disabled Output
Timed Output
Latch Output
The output channel is inactive.
The timed mode activates an output when a set point
or ‘trigger’ condition is reached. Once active, the
output is held until a specified delay period. The delay
may be between 0.01 and 599.99 seconds.
The output will activate when the specified value is
encountered (SP1 for output 1, SP3 for output 2). If
a timing period is in progress, a new trigger does not
occur. This is referred to as a non-retriggereable
timer.
A RESET will cancel the timed output.
The latch mode activates an output when a ‘trigger’
or set point is reached.
The output will activate when the value is
encountered (SP1 for output 1, SP3 for output 2).
Once activated, the output is held and can be
deactivated only when the specified Latched Until
condition is met. The Latched Until conditions can be
seen in Table 8.
The Boundary mode differs from the other output
types in that it allows the counter to have an output
activate/deactivate automatically within a specified
Boundary Output
range.
Boundary mode activates an output when the count
is between the specified low and high set points
(SP1/SP2 for output 1, SP3/SP4 for output 2.)

4.6 Set Point Parameters (Set Point Setup)
The S663 has four set point parameters and a special value referred to as Reset Position.
The Reset Position can be referred to as Count Reset Value.
SP1 and SP2 are used only with Output 1, and SP3 and SP4 are used only with Output 2.
The SP1 and SP3 parameters are used as Latched or Timed “trigger” values. When a Boundary
Output is selected, SP1 and SP3 become the low boundary value.
The SP2 and SP4 parameters are used as high boundary value or ‘turn-off’ values when used
with other alarm types (i.e. latched until SP4).
The values for all set points are -99999 to 999999. The decimal point will appear according to
the current decimal point setting.

4.7 Auto Reset Operations (Reset Setup)
The S663 has the capability to perform a Count Reset event based upon various conditions.
When Auto Reset occurs, the outputs will return to the deactivated status and the displayed
count will return to the value stored in the Reset Position (Rstpos) function. This feature is
used in cut-to-length or other applications where an automatic repetitive cycle is established.
There are seven options for the Auto Reset Mode: Disabled, at one of four set points, or after an
output times out.
