The CTT Series is a versatile digital counter/timer/tachometer designed for industrial applications, offering a range of functionalities including single-stage counting, two-stage counting, batch counting, total counting, dual counting, timing (up and down), and tachometer operations. This device is powered by 24-240 VAC/DC and operates within a frequency range of 50/60 Hz. It features a compact design with dimensions of 48x48x80mm (1.89x1.89x3.15 inches) and a panel cutout of 45x45mm (1.77x1.77 inches), making it suitable for integration into various control panels.
In counter mode, the CTT Series can perform various counting tasks. For single-stage counting, it can be configured to increment a present value (PV) with each leading edge of an input signal at CP1. When the PV reaches a preset count setting value (SV), both outputs 1 and 2 can be activated. A reset input signal at RST1 can turn off outputs, reset the PV to 0, and enable further counting. The device supports counting up, counting down, command counting up/down, individual counting up/down, and quadrature input. It offers multiple output modes (S, T, D) that are valid with specific input modes (Ud_A, Ud_b, Ud_C). Counting speeds can be set up to a maximum of 10 Kcps, with other options including 5K, 1K, 200, 30, and 1 cps. The pulse width of output 1 and output 2 can be adjusted, with a default of 0.02 seconds, or set to 0.00 seconds for continuous output. The decimal point position can be configured from 0 to 3 digits after the decimal point, and a pre-scale value (PSCALE) can be set from 0.001 to 99.999. The device also allows saving or clearing the PV upon power off. The minimum width of the reset signal is 20ms by default, with a 1ms option. Input signal types can be selected as NPN or PNP.
The timer function supports both timing up and timing down. It offers various timer modes, including Signal On Delay 1 (Sond1), Signal On Delay 2 (Sond2), Signal Off Delay (SOFFd), Signal On/Off Delay (Sonb), Repeat Pulse On Delay (Pond), Repeat Pulse Off Delay (Pondh), Cycle On Delay (CYH), Cycle Off Delay (CYL), Stop On Delay (Ston), Stop Off Delay (Stoff), and Stop On/Off Delay (Stonb). The display unit can be configured from 10ms to hours. The pulse width of output 1 can be adjusted from 0.02 seconds (default) to 0.00 seconds for continuous output. The minimum width of the reset signal is 20ms (default), with a 1ms option. Input signal types can be selected as NPN or PNP.
In tachometer mode, the CTT Series can monitor rotational speed and convert pulsed signals from encoders or sensors into engineering units using the PSCALE feature. This is particularly useful for applications such as monitoring motor RPMs. The device offers four output modes: 2Lo1Lo, 2Lo1Hi, 2Hi1Lo, and 2Hi1Hi, allowing for flexible output control based on preset values. Rotation speed can be set up to a maximum of 10 Kcps, with other options including 5K, 1K, 200, 30, and 1 cps. The decimal point position can be configured from 0 to 3 digits after the decimal point. The pre-scale value (PSCALE) can be set from 0.001 to 99.999. A delay time after power-on can be set from 0.1 to 99.9 seconds, after which the tachometer will begin operation. An average value for the input filter can be configured from 0 to 3 (1=2 data, 2=4 data, 3=8 data) to stabilize the displayed present value. The minimum width of the reset signal is 20ms (default), with a 1ms option. Input signal types can be selected as NPN or PNP.
The CTT Series offers a user-friendly interface with a 6-digit LED display for clear visibility of both the present value (PV) and the set value (SV). The device is easily configured via its front panel buttons, allowing users to navigate through various parameter settings for counter, timer, and tachometer modes. The quick start guide provides clear instructions for basic setup and operation. The ability to select NPN or PNP input types ensures compatibility with a wide range of sensors and control systems. The flexible output modes and adjustable pulse widths allow for precise control in various applications. The pre-scale function (PSCALE) is a significant feature, enabling conversion of raw pulse signals into meaningful engineering units, which simplifies data interpretation and system integration. The decimal point position can be adjusted to suit the required precision of the displayed values. The device also includes features like power-on delay for tachometer mode and input filter averaging to ensure stable and reliable readings.
The CTT Series is designed for robust industrial environments, with a durable construction that meets CE and UL standards. Its wide operating temperature range and resistance to vibration and shock ensure reliable performance in challenging conditions. The device's electrical noise immunity helps prevent interference from other equipment, contributing to stable operation. While specific maintenance instructions are not extensively detailed in the provided information, the general design suggests a low-maintenance device. Regular checks of wiring connections and ensuring the device operates within its specified environmental conditions would be standard practice to ensure longevity. The clear display and accessible parameter settings facilitate easy troubleshooting and adjustments if needed. The availability of a complete product manual online provides comprehensive information for advanced setup, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
