Description

Model 2620 is a modular, four-channel counter/timer interface that connects to Ethernet through a 2601 communication module. It has four advanced 32-bit counter channels that can directly interface to incremental encoders as well as single-clock sources. Network latency is mitigated by providing timestamps along with all counter values read by the host computer. Model 2620 is a member of the 2600 series of smart I/O modules.

Several 2620s can be connected to a single 2601

Field Wiring

Four inputs are provided on each channel: enable, index, and two clocks. The clock and index inputs accept both differential RS-422 and single-ended TTL/CMOS compatible signals. Each channel has one output signal that can be used for PWM or pulse generation.

All field wiring is connected directly to the 2620 via removable terminal blocks, which are supplied with the module. These eliminate the need for external terminal blocks and make module installation and removal a snap.

Applications

Each counter channel can be independently configured to implement any of these popular functions:

  • Incremental encoder interface. The quadrature clock decoders have programmable x2/x4 clock multipliers that increase counting resolution for quadrature encoders. A counter can be forced to a preset value in response to a trigger signal on the index input or through software.
  • PWM generator. Any channel can be configured to produce a periodic output with a programmable period and duty cycle.
  • Pulse generator. An output pulse can be generated in response to a hardware or software trigger. The pulse duration is determined by a value in the preload register.
  • Frequency measurement. An internal time gate generator is provided for frequency measurement applications. Frequency can be measured by using the internal gate generator or an external gate signal.
  • Pulse width measurement. The width of a digital pulse can be measured when connected to the index input.
  • Period measurement. The period of a digital signal can be measured by connecting it to the index input.

Modular System

A 2620 module can be connected to any of the sixteen IOM (I/O module) ports on the 2601 with a low-cost category-5 patch cable, which provides all operating power and communication signals needed by the 2620. All inter-module communication circuits are optically isolated to prevent potentially disruptive ground loops.
